 Cast Stages ‘Heiress’ LBJ High School's 'Little Theater' was the site of UIL competition in March. The Blue Jesters presented 'The Heiress.' The play was set in the home of Dr. Sloper (David Musgrave) around 1 850. The plot evolves around his daughter, Catherine (Karol Colonna). The man she loved, Morris Townsend (Steve Strong) loved her money and not her. The story told of their relationship which ended leaving him without a fortune and her without a fortune. 'Godspell,' a musical adaption of the gospel according to St. Matthew, was presented by the Blue Jesters in November. Many of the parables and events from Christ's life were dramatized in that version. The play began with a group of young people in a playground who decided to interpret the gospel for themselves. Each person took on a character as the play progressed. The thirteen actors involved in the play rehearsed about two and a half hours daily and by the day of the production, they had put at least 100 hours into the show, according to Mrs. Ermine Worrell, director. Crew work is an important part of any production and 'Godspell' could not have been performed without the many students who served as crew heads, worked on props, and helped with the publicity, commented Mrs. Worrell.
