FALL PLAY CONCERT 'Arsenic and Old Lace' was another down-to-the-uire production which came off well.” Dave Hod el Two charming old ladies who “kindly” poison old men won the hearts of record crowds November 17, 18 and 19 when Direc- tor Richard Barnes, assisted by Jeanette Nelson, presented “Arsenic and Old Lace.” It was the best attended fall play ever at Lake- ridge, and it earned the most money of any fall play. The cast had many stars. Sheila Sulliger and Dorothy Rackley were entirely believable “dotty” old ladies, with Sheila’s facial expres- sions alone bringing many laughs. Pete Gallo’s wacky portrayal of Teddy Roosevelt, sinister Steve Reinschmidt, and the German professor Steve Harland-Einstein were other fine characterizations. Equally successful was the striking set, a Victorian living-dining room, which was designed by Dave Mangam of Portland, ably assisted by students Jamie McClung, Gene Roll, Todd Perkins, and Cathy Connor. The first fall concert by the Lakeridge Music Department on November 1 was very successful, widely attended by both parents and students. All the choirs and bands were received enthusiastically by the audience. Of special recognition was the Company who sang “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Sometimes,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Debbie Thornton lit up the show with her solo “You Light Up My Life.” Another outstanding soloist was Charles Burke. The Stage Band did an excellent job play- ing Alone Again Naturally” with solos by Jason Ford on the trumpet, David DeLong on the trombone, and Jim Hinson on the saxo- phone. 1 —Lisa Dahlen sings Amen while the Concert Choir accompanies. 2 — Mr. S teve Ticen sings and the Pacer Choir waits for their cue. 3 — Abby (Sheila Sulliger) entertains Teddy (Pete Gallo) and her guest the Reverend Doctor Harper (Brady Jensen). 10 FALL PLAY CONCERT
