THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER During a play the audience can clearly see what is happening on stage, yet most don’t think about how much is happening simultaneously backstage. Many of the most important individuals in a production are working behind the scenes controlling lighting, waiting for prop cues, doing makeup, and shifting scenery. It takes both the performers and the backstage crew to make a production successful. The fall production The Man Who Came to Dinner opened on November 5 and played through the 8th. Performances went even better than the cast had hoped. This was aided by the fine backstage work of several people. Robin Westgate was Stage Manager, and the set construction crew consisted to Tad Schmit, Sharon Turcotte, Stacy Goodwin, Lisa Lyons. Mary Simpson. Rosemary Bruns, Rich Abraham, Brad Griffith, and Amee Luzier. The set decoration was constructed with the help of Jennifer Walker, Amee Luzier, Tad Schmit. and Rosemary Bruns. Lighting for the production was ably handled by Rich Abraham. Before and during each performance make-up was taken care of by the performers themselves. Pam Partlow worked the sound for this performance. Many of the costumes were donated, while others were made especially for this play. Drama Coach Midi Hoelscher commented, It was one of our best comedies in recent years. After three sensational performances the traditional cast party gave everyone the chance to relax at last.
