Leading Ladg, A Plag Within A Plag On October 16, for the 1968-69 school year, the Thespian club produced its first play, Leading Lady. Leading Lady was a play within a play. It was produced by Miss Ann Shannon, Thespian Club sponsor, and Tony Francis, student director, With a cast carefully selected, the play had seventeen characters, tour of which were major parts. They were, in order of appear- ance, Norma Temple, played by Candy Horabing Lanny Scott, Rob Gunter, Herb Mclntire, Mark Stevens, and Beverly Rodg- ers, Debbie Ullrich. As Norma Temple reminisces to Sue Hal- ler CRoxanne Friedankj, and close friend Marie Downs fMary Dabneyj, she is re- living her life as a beginning actress seeking stardom. She tells of her three nearly fatal romances with Conrad Marlowe QRob- in Tawneyj, Jack Winston fDavid Leachj, and Armando de Cortez QLeonard Natkinj, as they appeared with her in various plays, and of how her former producer and present husband, Lanny Scott, brought her to her senses in the nick of time. Other characters involved in the play were Esther Pearson, Rebecca Swierg Flo Fletcher, Marsha Fountain, Judith Blaine, Dawn Wzig- nerg and the custodian, Tom, played by Tim Brady. Running the play from the 16th through the 19th gave many students as well as par- ents and teachers the opportunity to see it. Itlvas the only play produced by the Thes- pian Club during the school year. Trying for a part in the play, Dawn Wagner uses great expression while reading In Mark Stexens. Confused, impatient, and thoroughly disgusted, Debbie L'lIrich asks Mark Stevens fcenlerj and Rob Gunter ffm' rigblj what their glamour star could possibly want to see them about now,
