Year’s First — ‘Favorable’ Lloyd A. Frerer, former head of drama at Kansas Wesleyan in Sa- lina, became the new director of the theatrical arts at FHS this year. Employing creative aspects in staging and combining professional technique with educational theatre has brought Frerer favorable results. Evidence of these results was the first major production of the year, Philadelphia, Here I Come! , a three act tragi-comedy by Brian Friel. Philadelphia, starring Wayne Sipe, Kathy Faulkner, Tom Schroder and Dennis Dey, was an exploration of the joy and sadness experienced by a boy leaving his Irish home for a new life in America.
