All-school cast presents ‘Little Mary Sunshine’ When “‘Little Mary Sunshine”’ opened at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in 1959, it made this ‘‘new musical about an old operetta,’ the surprise hit of the season. In the operetta, good meant good, bad meant bad, and wide eyed innocence following close behind. In the GHS production, the plot, characters, and music are simple and direct. As the show progresses the obvious spoofing of the operetta’s simpleness is evident. The story, set high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the Colorado Inn, begins as Little Mary Sunshine convinces her adopted father (Chief Brown Bear) to send his grievances over a land dispute to Washington to be settled by law rather than tomahawk. Meanwhile, Little Mary is about to lose her Inn because she can’t meet her mortgage payments. During this time, Capt. Jim Warington and his rangers have been sent on a secret mission to capture a notorious band of Indians. The same afternoon, Billy and Nancy discuss their former relationship while the young ladies arrive from Eastchester Finishing School in the east. As the saga unfolds all the characters become actively involved in the many trials and tribulations of the fast moving events. The show ends on a happy note as all the problems of the characters finally become resolved. TOP RIGHT—Susan Dudash explains how the Mata Hari gets her information. LEFT—Kelly Bonar, along with the Young Ladies from Eastchester Finishing School, play croquet in front of the Colorado Inn. ABOVE—The entire cast sings the finale ‘‘Look For a Sky of Blue’. RIGHT—Nancy (Susan Dudash) flirts behind her boyfriend’s back with three forest rangers. 20 MUSICAL PLAY
