DRAMA tutlents apply make-up, comedy skills in one-acts Learning to make an audience laugh without breaking up on stage was one of the first adjustments beginning drama students had to make. Per- forming for a live audience of students, parents, and teachers proved much different from rehearsing in an empty theater. ln producing the two one-acts, Animal Keepers and People in the Wind , students applied the various skills learned during first quarter. Make-up provided some headaches as people had to be aged and hair color changed. The most frantic change was transforming a blond Larry Dressler from a drunken English professor into a young Venezuelan dancer during the fifteen minute intermission between plays. Getting into the building for Christ- mas practices was a common problem because locks were being changed and maintenance crews were waxing floors. 18 Drama One-Acts ABOVE: Mrs. Marrow fEula Vandelj offers a toy mousie to her Siamese cat Kewpie Doll.
