Production of Oliver! requires much practicing Combining music, artistry and Thes¬ pian talent, the cast and stage crew of Oliver! produced the second musical given at HCHS in co-operation with the Halifax County Little Theatre and other community patrons. The spring musical, involving over 100 people, required more than two months in preparation with scenery and prop construction, orchestra practice and gen¬ eral rehearsal by all cast members. Adapted from Charles Dickens ' Oliver Twist, the musical Oliver! demanded much of the pageantry and costuming of the eighteenth century as well as the performance of Lionel Bart ' s music. Mrs. Dorothy Crews, HCHS drama coach, directed the play while Mr. Jim Arrow- wood co-ordinated the orchestration for the performances. With performances on May 1, 2 and 3, the presentation of Oliver! coincided with the motion picture version ' s winning the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year, adding to the local players ' enjoyment for the play. Representing Halifax County High School as main characters in the produc¬ tion were Chris Jones in the lead role of Oliver Twist, Mr. Tony Argo as Fagin and Jim Ambrose as the Artful Dodger. The color and glamour of a London street is captured during the scene at Paddington Square when everyone joins in “Consider Yourself , (above). The final curtain call, consisting of a medley of all the songs in the play, brought the audience to its feet, (right). 26 Oliver!
