West Side moves east; love story still popular R umbles and teenagers in love were the plot elements in last spring ' s musical, West Side Story . Set in the hot New York summer days of 1957. this production was a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet. Although love was emphasized throughout the play, it was also filled with action-packed rumbles between two rival gangs, the Sharks and the Jets. The main purpose for the rumbles was to gain turf. The gang leaders. Riff, portrayed perfectly by Randy Smith, and Bernardo, portrayed superbly by Steve Yates, were two of the four main characters. Curtis Lake and Cathey Hays were Tony and Maria. Although Tony and Maria were deeply in love, they could never be together because of society ' s cruelty. The dramatics director was Jerry Hurst, and Cynthia Featheringill-Smith was the choral director. Paul Justice and the stage crew provided sets, sound and lights. The cast, which put long, hard hours of rehearsal, did a fine job in portraying the characters. The orchestra members, led by Raymond Brandes, also contributed a tremendous amount to the success of this fine production. His honor J.D. Hartshorn presides over the trial of Action, played by Rob Young, during Officer Krupke , one of the more humorous numbers in last year ' s hit musical, West Side Story . .Anita (Felecia Roseburg) satirically relates how she loathes Puerto Rico in her solo I Like To Be In America . Filled with grief and sorrow, Maria watches her knight in shining armor being carried away. Makeup and preparation begin well before the curtain rises. Here, J.D. Hart- shorn applies his base make-up and other facial elements. Most students who are veterans of the dramatic productions are allowed to apply their own make-up. 6 Musical
