Play takes on serious tone in Flowers for Algernon YW ay 9? It was a valuable experienee...I loved it! Senior John Kiningham FLASHBACK. Senior Mary McCracken and sophomore Jeff Melton act out the flashback scene. Wll.-KT SHALL WE DO? Professor Nemur Olalt Butzowj helps Bert fChrisL1an Cashmanj decide in the case of Charlie. l6 Fall Play he lights went down, the curtain went up, and the acting began for the 1985 fall play, Flowers for Algernon. The play gave the cast the experience of acting in front of people, said sophomore Maureen Condron, who played Mrs. Mooney. Mr. Koczergo, director, explained that students learned to present themselves in front of people, make spur-of-the- moment decisions, and also become aware of themselves. The major dislikes of acting voiced by the students were repeating the scenes many times, and the length of rehearsals. However, the cast members overlooked these areas when they saw the final product. Matt Butzow CProfessor Harold Nemurl stated that an actor must do what you're told and know that it's good for you. Many of the cast members were veterans, but some were new to the Homestead stage. Koczergo stated, The experienced players take some time to help the inexperienced ones. This helps in future shows because more people know what to do. Will any of them try out again? Most said yes. Condron added, lt's a different kind of atmosphere from anything I have experienced. John Kiningham CCharlieJ stated, It was a valuable experience...I loved it! , This play was different from any other play at Homestead because it was based on a serious theme. But the show proved to be another Homestead success according to cast and crew--and there will be many more to come. lj By Jenny Gmber fr., l J 1 Xlil
