Encore! Encore! “All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their en- trances and their exits and ev- ery man in his lifetime plays many roles.” he “‘entrances”’ that William Shakespeare was re- ferring to could have been inter- preted as a high school drama class which taught students the fundamentals of acting such as self-confidence, speech, and poise. Mr. John Mingus instructed students in skills necessary to continue on the stage after graduation. To provide an op- portunity to display their acting ability the Drama Department performed four plays. The Imaginary Invalid, an eighteenth century, French comedy was performed on No- vember 19th and 20th. The stu- dent spent well over forty-five hours practicing and rehears- ing. Argon, and main character, suffering was from hypocondra was played by Rob Howe. Bon- efoi (Bryan Tunnell) the “sneaky and conniving” and Beline (Lee Ann Wiiki) tried to persuade Argon to give the in- heritance money to them in- stead of writing a will and wait- ing until he dies. Meanwhile, Toinette (Sandy Gilford) the ““spicey’’ young maid, saw through their plan and warned Argon. Angelique (Cynthia An- drews) Argon’s daughter, mar- ried the man of her dreams Cleante (Jeff Brown) and solved her father’s dilemma. By planning to become a doctor, Argon’s son-in-law could save him a tremendous amount of money on his prescriptions. What could have been a dis- asterous situation for Argon at the beginning of the play turned into an advantageous one of him at the end. “It’s time.” Angelique (Cynthia An- drews) and Bonefoi (Bryan Tunnell) nervously wait in the wings before the Imaginary Invalid begins. “Bills, Bills, Bills!” In the Imaginary In- valid Argon (Rob Howe) is frustrated over his debts.
