Have you ever wondered about Romeo and Juliet? But does every love scene have to come to a sad ending? Of course not! If you went to see “You Can't Take It With You” December 18, 19, 20, or 21, you would have seen a happy ending. “| liked it very much because there were lot of old people in the play and we used new make-up techniques.” — Sunny McKinney Well, if you didn’t see it, the play went something like this ... The play is, set in the 1930's in the house of the Sycamores. Alice (Kris Nolte) falls in love with a rich man’s son, Tony Kirby (Paul Gatrell) at work. Alice’s family accept, the marriage but Tony’s family refuse, to let Tony and Alice get married. You see, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby (Tony Hartsfield and Maureen Hin- nab) think, that Alice’s family is, a bunch of lunatics that will, ruin their reputation. That doesn’t, change the feelings be- tween Tony and Alice, but it does, cause Alice to realize marrying Tony is, not such a good idea. Tony gets mad at his mom and dad and tries to convince them Money doesn’t compute The addition of true love Saying a prayer before the meal, Grandpa mentions the fireworks that destroyed the basement. Identifing himself as the culprit, Henderson tells Ed it’s illegal to print up those unfaithful messages he’s been sending in Essie’s boxes of candy. that Alice is right for him. In the end the two families become good friends and Tony and Alice live happily ever after. For eight weeks Mrs. Connie Schindewolf, director, and I8 students put forth much effort to make this produc- tion the best it could be. “It was fun, | liked working with all the people and while working in the play | made more friends. It was an enjoyable experience,” said Brian Koonce, senior. When opening night arrived at North, De- cember 18, those I8 students were running around back stage, hoping this night would pay off for all the hard work which had been put in to the play. The audience was talking to friends and waiting pa- tiently for 7:30 to roll around. All of a sudden the lights dimmed and a hush fell over the audience. It was time. The many committees also played a part in the preparation of the play. The com- mittees were sound, lights, props, stage crew, tickets, publicity, costumes, make- up, and programs. er Se As Donald reads through the paper about the arrest the night before, he brings it to Rheba’s attention. “You Can't Take It With You’’ 27
