Jennifer Grimm Stars As Alice In onderland m The students of Mishawaka High School put on the chil- dren ' s play Alice in Wonderland this year during October 1st through 3rd. Some of the star scenes in- cluded Humpty Dumpty (Troy Gill), and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Jeff Maggioli and George Verongos). Their silly poems and wild outfits en- tertained the audience through- out the scene. An excellent performance was given by all members of the play, even after considering the limited resources the crew had. The interpretation of the play was difficult, according to Troy Comstock. The school did not have the equipment to be able to reproduce the entire play, so Mr. McSorely and Troy had to decide which scenes would be most effective and somewhat simple to act out. The cast performed this difficult play expertly. Afterwards, the cast members retired to the cafeteria to sign autographs for the younger chil- dren. The kids enjoyed meeting the characters up close, and had a good time talking with them. All in all, the play went very well, raised money, and put on a good show for the children of the community. by Jill Taraskiewicz Co-Editor-in-Chief Humpty-Dumpty (Troy Gill) tries to confuse Alice by badgering her with questions. Troy was supported by his many friends who came to his open- ing performance. Reciting The Walrus and The Car- penter to Alice (Jennifer Grimm), Tweedle Dee (Jeff Magioli) stops to remember the next verse. The wild costumes of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum added a bit of excite- ment to their act. 20 Wonderland Student Life After the play the White Rabbit (Kim Koczan) volunteers her time to signing autographs for eager children The play was performed during daytime hours so that children were able to attend.
