P12 Captain O'Brien and Bob Buttercup IAM an Englishman ,Je ! A The crew of the H.M.S. Pinafore The Plau: H.lll.S. The audience started arriving about 7:30 at the Loyola Little Theatre on opening night, Friday, the 3lst of January. The lights faded, a murmur of expectancy ran through the audience as maestro Tony Newman began the introduction for the first act. Then the curtains opened on Loyola's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore . This play concerns love on the high seas, in l-ler lVlaiesty's Navy. lt was apparent from the start that it was going to be a success, for the overall production was under the careful eyes of Mr. James Gallas, SJ. and Mr. Richard Rolfs, S.J. The part of the ablest seaman of, them all, Ralph Rackstraw, went to Joe Kolmel, who did an excellent iob. Brian Avery kept the audience laugh- ing in his humorous portrayal of the overly important Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Bob Favorito sang and flirted his way through the role of Little Buttercup, the Portsmouth Bumboat Woman. l-lardly ever seasick Captain Terry O'Brien magnificently lorded it over the blue-clad crew who, contrasting with the golden bulwarks ofthe H.M.S. Pinafore, added life and color to the play by their singing and dancing. When the audience left the theatre that night, commenting on the beautiful sets, everyone agreed that the performance they had just witnessed was Hprofessionalf' 29 YOU are an Englishman? Pooh!
