Dedieotion evident in Qlxlohomol Shet up and Cain't were common ex- pressions heard in the school during the spring musical Oklahoma! as Western dialect spilled over into everyday life. Rodgers and Hammer- stein's Oklahoma! was presented April 22, 23, and 24, on Marshall's stage with a cast of twenty nine incorporating both newcomers to the Mar- shall stage and established regulars, Set in Indian Territory, just after the turn of the century, the Oklahoma characters include a cowboy named Curly, who fights for the affec- tions of Laurey Williams, along with hired hand Jud Fry. Laurey's Aunt Eller watches out for her niece and her friends. Laurey's friend Ado Annie is plagued with the dilemma of choosing be- tween her cowboy Will and the Peddler Ali Ha- kim. Andrew Carnes, Annie's father, worries about finding a suitable match for his daughter. Produced in only five weeks, Oklahoma! took a lot of hard work and dedication, said Senior Thespian Lisa DeWitt. It all went by so fast,', was Chorus Member Stephanie Krimbel's comment. To publicize the show, posters were put up all around the school, publicity scenes were staged during the lunch bands, and costumes were worn during one school day. Despite a constrained budget, Director Vi Watson persevered to offer utheatre in its pur- est sense - a classic story combined with effort and a willingness to please. IT CAN'T BE IN BETWEEN? is the musical question posed by Ado Annie lSusan Nortonl to boyfriend Will lScott Baileyl. Plays 0 31 L
