Di- rectors Sandra Bowen and Dianne Merillat agreed that the play was cho- sen because We wanted a comedy, set in a different time period, and with a strong male lead and a variety of really good parts. HSherry Whiteside, an obnoxious, self-centered, radio broadcaster, was the strong male lead protrayed by Ed- die Curry. Becky Moore acted as Maggie Cutler, Whiteside's loyal secre- tary. Lorraine Sheldon, a glamorous actress who would do anything for a role, was played by Pam McVicker. The 1939 Broadway play was a hit at Charlestown, as 1000 people in total viewed the play. The production was also considered a financial success, and for the first time the Drama Club was able to purchase their own furni- ture to use for plays. Falling in love at Christmastime are Mesalia, Ohio newspaperman Bert Jefferson tWhitney Wilcoxsont and Whiteside's secretary Maggie Cutler tBecky Mooret. The wild and crazy Harriett Stanley tTina Hedricld shows her photo album to the debonair Sherry tEd- die Curryt. Searching for cockroaches behind the couch is Professor Metz tDJ. Bowerst.
