On Their Way To Broadway Every year, Monacan stu- dents of the Act I Company perform two excellent plays. This past year was no excep- tion. With the plays, “Rebel Without A Cause” and “She Stoops To Conquer,’ the members of the Act I Com- pany continued their tradi- tion of producing successful plays. This was no small task. The success of these plays depended on the hard work and dedication of the partici- pants and of their talented di- rector Mr. Hood. The months of hard practice, arguments, and clashing opinions were well worth the effort of these people. Under Mr. Hood’s guidance the Act I Company students developed their tal- ents and expanded their knowledge of action and per- Mr. Hood advises one of the performers in her movements on stage.

They depended largely on the light- ing crew, the set crew, and the make-up crew. These behind- the-scenes people worked hard and were crucial in cre- ating the wonderful plays that the students performed. Because the quality of the plays depended on so many people, the coordination of the different groups was im- portant as well as difficult. Every member of the Act I Company worked hard and each played a decisive role in the creation of the two pro- ductions last year. %, Susan Hoke’s acting ability and her excellent make-up job created a wonderful and humerous character n “She Stoops To Conquer.” Theatre Society.
