Thespians Set The Stage Katella's thespians gave a command performance year with their productions of The Desk Set and Once Upon a Mattress. Not only did they perform for Katella students, but a numerous amount of them were in the GATE production of Stage Door. lt was a wintry December morning in the New York downtown area, the beginning of what was about to be the end of the career of Bunnie Watson. That was the mood of the Ka- tella Thespian's first stage pro- duction in 1984-1985, it was The Desk Set. The play was about a group of office girls tDiane Hornsby, Kelly Ford, and Kristy Takacsl whose jobs were about to bejeopardized by the technology of a computer. Their boss Bunnie Watson tSta- cey Goodingj kept calm, cool. and collected and showed that a bunch of office goof-offs could outsmart a computer. The play was a fun-filled production with a drunk, a nerd, a Christ- mas office party, and good old slapstick comedy. lt was per- formed in the Katella campus theatre on January l0, ll and 12. The next production that in- volved Katella students was on March 7 and 8, l985, in the Anaheim High School William Cook Auditorium. It was of course Stage Door. This play took place in the 1940's in a boarding house in New York for girls trying to become ae- tresses. lt was filled with laughs and tears, sad endings and hap- py ones too. The lead roles was Terry Randall portrayed by Halle MacDonald making her acting debut. Her leading men were Keith Burgess Wlatt Vargol, and David Kingsley lKarl Stuckenbergl, the two were in constant competition for Terry's love. ln the end Ter- ry and David become each oth- ers better half. Every cast member gave it their all and some great performances were pulled out to make 'Stage Door a big success. 4 f. - Leading lady.
