Dramatic Season ' CarnivaT Dominates Excitement, anticipation and weeks of work for both the Theater and Music Departments were climaxed on the night of April 21 , 1969 , the date of the debut of the spring musical, CARNIVAL. The production, present¬ ed in the Morton auditorium, was the heart-warming story of a young, naive girl, Lili, who joins a lively car¬ nival. Through her experiences with Paul, a bitter, despondent puppeteer, she learns that there is more to life than just love and happiness, that hate and malevolence also exist in the world. In addition to CARNIVAL, the Top Hat Theatre presented three other productions and three one-act plays. Under the direction of Mr. Donn Edwards, as¬ piring thespians presented THE WIZARD OF OZ, TRUDI AND THE MINSTREL and CYRANO DE BERGERAC. Production of THE WIZARD OF OZ, sponsored by the Pi Epsilon Kappa Alpha Gamma Chapter, benefited Boys’ Town. The one-act plays, “Dust of the Road,” “Supressed Desires” and “Riders to the Sea” were presented on Jan. 18. Directed by stu¬ dents, they provided an opportunity to exhibit leader¬ ship, creativity, performing and directing techniques.
