THE MOUSETRAP Lights, props, action. The 1985 mystery play, The Mousetrap was a success. Director Ron Allen who has been doing plays since 1976 noted, It was very well done, but too bad more people didn ' t see it. Because the cast was small, Mr. Allen double-casted several parts, allowing more students to participate in the play. Anne Jensen and April Reid, David Schafer and Chris Shewchuck, and Craig Smith and Jon Dorosk all shared major rolls. Being double- casted is really kind of neat, because you can sit back and watch how the other person portrays the same character, said junior David Schafer. Rehearsals were two and three times a week for about two hours. During that time the cast members learned to rely on each other to learn the lines of a very complex plot. Senior Steve Gensterblum, who has been in plays since his sophomore year said, Putting a show on is hard work . . . you take a group of students and make them into quality actors and actresses by giving them as much encouragement as possible.
