Hours of practice and blocking directions, and tons of prop and costume construction were routine with every production. But it all added up to the polished look so typical of Lanier's plays. This season opened with Woody Allen's comedy Don't Drink the Water starring Heather Hielscher, John Barger and Richard Petty. Next on the bill was the Winter Showcase, five one act plays: Guilty Generation, John Turner Davis, Crows, Winners, and Old Lady Shows Her Medals. The final major production was William Shakespeare's 'tMerry Wives of Windsor. As the play was reset in 1896, the crew created a Gay 9O's atmosphere with elaborate costumes and props. Lanier won't have a production like that again for a long time, said Donna Storey. At U.l.L. district competition, Laura Sargologos won All-Star Cast, and John Barger, Christina Dahlberg and Donna Storey won Honorable Mention. The production won Zone contest, where John Barger won Best Actor, and Laura Sargologos once again made All-Star Cast. Pat Blashill, Kenny Scheer and Christina Dahlberg received Honorable Mention. The drama department didn't compete at Area, therefore the senior cast members were able to go to the prom, Rusty Fuller said the experience of being on stage made him more open, and helped in his classes. ln English, Rusty memorized and dramatized twenty lines of Shakespeare. The act earned him a round of applause and a good grade. For Mr. Foard, this year was a rewarding and fulfilling year. The cast's reward was obvious. The work put in was returned by the warm appreciation and response from the audience. drama 151
