Five one-acts appear In the fall the Drama Club added another event to the one-act plays, another play. In the past, four plays were presented. When the plays opened on November 2, 1984. five plays appeared. The first play. The End of the Picnic. was a serious drama about two people who loved each other, but had grown apart over the years. The second play, Violets. Gladiolas. and Arthur's Breakfast, got to the heart of something everyone must face some time: continuing on after a loved one dies. In the third play. The Open Window, a teenager decides to take revenge on her aunt’s visitor by making up a story about her aunt. The fourth play, Overtones. portrayed two women, Harriet and Margaret, as their outer selves, while Hetty and Maggie portrayed their real inner selves. The fifth play. Teen and Twenty, was a modern comedy of errors and a contemporary literature class drama project for three weeks. Twenty different actors and actresses presented the plays, with fifty people working on sets and crews. About the plays Mrs. Koehler stated, I was extremely pleased with the students' performances this fall, especially since this was the first stage experience for so many of them. I am very proud of them for what they accomplished. I am also glad that so many seniors had the chance to perform. (Top left) In the play The Open Window.
