Theatrical productions entertain, supply Much hard work and preparation went into Mor¬ ton’s theater productions. Students learned stage techniques and gained experience while providing entertainment through plays for their audiences. THE IMAGINARY INVALID, a comedy, told the story of a man with an array of feigned illnesses. The play amused while relating the effects of this man’s ailments upon his close associates. Morton also presented a children’s play, THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES. This play concerned a king who loved magnificent clothes and suffered because of his want for regal garments. THE GLASS MENAGERIE unfolded the story of a mother, her son and daughter, as remembered by her son. This was the last play of the school year pro¬ duced by Morton’s Top Hat Theatre. Sets for LION IN WINTER and ANDROCLES AND THE LION were also designed by the theater de¬ partment. Morton’s auditorium housed these plays presented by outside organizations. Due to lack of sufficient time and interest the Top Hat Theatre cancelled their annual spring mu¬ sical. This play would have been OLIVER. CONTEMPLATING HIS ILLNESSES, Monsieur Argan (Chuck Spornick), a hypochondriac, is the imaginary invalid. PLEASED WITH HERSELF, Toninette (Lynn Fleischer) introduces Angelica (Stacy Lovin) and Cleante (Richard Gollner) in the comical play THE IMAGINARY INVALID. 10
