Monte Student Director Janet Sage Fritz just won't ever be the same after this! Each year the drama department of Ionia High School alternates between a drama and a comedy for its fall production. This year the choice turned to the lighter side in the presentation of “The Man in the Dog Suit.” The play, written by Albert Beich and William H. Wright, concerns a man who is unable to cope with the problems of living until he dons a dog costume and suddenly finds the security to face the world. The play, with a cast of ten characters, was directed by Raymond Monte, and represented his 26th production as drama coach at Ionia High. It was presented in the round November 16, 17 and 18, and marked the final use of the gymnasium stage for play production at IHS. Alice and Evan are going over one of their heated dialogues.
