With very little time for rehearsals, a talented cast brings a vibrant New York musical to the stage. Spinner Jones ouse lights went down, the audience hushed and flood lights blossomed on the curtains. The curtain opened and the dancers cavorted across Liberty Island. Then extras started their day, feeding birds, finding a place to eat. A sinister character skulked on stage and the first confrontation between Brutus Uay Buckleyj and Popeye Uon Jensenj occurred. Popeye was the birth place of many devices used for the Popeye first time on the LHS stage in the technical aspect of the play. Flash pots were used when the Hag fMarcia Jonesj used her magic to poof Popeye out onto stage and then minutes later brought Brutus onto the stage. A fog machine was used to add effect to Wimpie Uoe Brodinej when he burned the hamburgers in his shop, Wimpie's Hamburger Heaven. It also provided the smoke for the burning down of the Hagis shack in which Olive CSusan Apgoodj was trapped. At intermission the cast threw the audience a curve. Instead of lives shutting the curtains the performers on the stage stopped right in the middle of a scene and froze for ten minutes. At the start of act two, they began where they left off. Mamie fTammy Hicksj noted, I liked the intermission, but it was really hard to stand for ten minutes frozen. Director Cary Cox said, This is a comedy take-off on the cartoon and a fun play for the performers because of the different characters they get to create.

Fantasy night. Floor shows create anxiety as this is when juniors join together in their debut for parents and friends and claim the time as their special night. Some of the dancers are Charlie Bluemel. Kari Hoopes, Jerry Davidson, Kristen Cushing and Lisa Brunow performing to Glory of Love. The prince and princess dance in the castle's garden area receiving winks from the magical pink dragon who casts spells dipped in U Leza Chapman ne friendly pink dragon stood guard at the moat protecting the medieval castle for the juniors. Dozens of formally attired men in tuxedoes escorted women bedecked in fairy tale dresses to the court yard setting of Glory of Lovef' A week before prom, the juniors constructed the castle and its surroundings which had been planned by Cary Cox. Cox said, The castle was easy to design, but hard to execute. Drawing and shading in the rocks was probably the most difficult thing to do. But I thought it all turned out to be a very successful evening. My memory of this prom was how 36 Prom hard the juniors worked. They were the best class I've worked with as far as cooperation and dedication. Junior Kellee Eyre noted, 'flt turned out well, but it was over really fast. I think it was good that the class worked together. Besides working on the scenery, the class also had practices for the floor show. The choreographer for the annual event was Lisa Kay Bluemel, who had to travel from Provo for each of the many practices. It was worthwhile. Iim glad I put the time and thought into it instead of goofing around, said Jeff Bluemel. Prom day started with the trip to the hairdresser for the girls. I sat there for about two and a half hours. By the time I Glor of love left, my hair felt like plastic from the hairspray. But it looked good and stayed in place, said Shelly Odom. The couples usually went out to eat. Eating spots included McDonald's in Evanston, Little America and Pizza Hut. Some couples did things a little bit differently. 'SA friend and I took our dates out to the Point at Turtle Hill for a candlelight dinner overlooking the lights of the town, said Bluemel. After finishing dinner, the couples hurried to the dance. Some juniors arrived just in time to be in the floor show. After the floorshow performance was over, the royalty was announced.
