I t was a magical world; a world of castles and princesses, pumpkins and carriages, enchantment and dreams. It was a child ' s fantasy with all the magnificence of imagination. This was the fairytale world of Cinderella. With a touch of magic, the Children ' s Theater was presented on April 29 and 30. For the first time, a children ' s play was chosen for production instead of an adult play. It seemed appropriate to do a chil- dren ' s play with the time element and conflicts at that time with other school activities on the stage, explained Direc- tor Miss Diane Kubacki, English teacher. I also feel the hardest audience to play to is children-it ' s a challenge. Practices began four weeks prior to the play for both cast and crew. The sce- nery was detailed in animation in order to present a clear picture to the children. Disappearing fairy godmothers, pump- kins changing into royal carriages, and rags changing into riches made the magic of fairytales almost believable. Cinderella, written by William Glen- non, was the story of the mistreatment of a young cindermaid (sophomore Ja- nice Levy) by her stepmother (senior Blair Barkal) and her two step-sisters (sophomores Kathy Mills and Jill Barath). The cast played directly to the au- dience. At the early shows they were all very animated. On Saturday night, how- ever, they ad-libbed to entertain the more mature, mostly adult audience, stated junior Jim Szczepaniak, student director. As Jim summed it up, Cinde- rella was a success simply because we pleased the audience that the play was aimed at— the children. 26 Spring play
