Story Theatre, A Show Of Song, Dance And Mime. Breaking from tradition the Spring Musical took on a different look. Medleys from the Beatles, Supremes and Pink Floyd meet the audiences' ears as the curtained opened for Story Theatre. The play revolved around a collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aesop's Fables. A short performance was given in connection with the Hall Education Association's Spring Festival. A second pre performance was given to the area grade schools. Story Theatre escapes the idea of a musical and become a show of song, dance and mime. A simple set left much to the imagination of the audience. Dressed in tie dyed shirts, soxs and blue jean nickers, the cast performed for three fun filled nights. Under the direction of Miss Strouse and student director Debbie Lenhausen the play was performed to well filled nights. Some of the songs were written by Mr. Kevin McNulty, music director. Dimming the lights for the final time left a meloncholy feeling in the hearts of the cast and crews. 1. Brain Victor removes the hook from the Flounders mouth after he was convinced the fish would not be a good catch, and threw him back to the sea. 2. The maiden, Mary Kwiatek, is wrestled by the robbers, Jim Bruno, Keith Onorato, and Bob Bellino before her death. 3. Following the traditional style of the Supremes, Dawn Welty, Kris Miller, and Berna Fiiippini do their rendition at an after school rehearsal. Spring Play 27
