Cast Members Promote “Sunshine” The thought of a walk in the garden so pleases Lance Freeman and Brenda Whittaker that they sing about it. Silence filled the auditorium as the curtain opened re¬ vealing a tiny building called the “Colorado Inn.” This setting was for the musical “Little Mary Sunshine.” The show was a “Dudley Do Right” type melodrama com¬ plete with a hero, distressed maiden, forest rangers, Indi¬ ans, a group of young ladies from “Eastchester Finishing School,” and a host of other characters. The two lead parts, Little Mary Sunshine and Captain Jim Warrington, were played by Donna Dawes and Bob Hon. Unique costuming and intricate choreography kept the audience on their toes. The fact that this was the first musical performed in the new auditorium also added to make the play a success. Opening night jitters keep Jerry Larkin on the lookout for mis¬ takes, even when he’s offstage. 11
