Waiting in line to serve the spa ghetti dinner are Phil Little, Sherri McElroy, Debbie Gee, and Kenitra Burnette. Dinner Theatre was not all fun, as shown by Matt Shultz and Wayne Brewer as they mop up on Saturday morning. Thespian Troupe 2892 has developed many traditions over the past 25 years. From one-acts to Miss Northside pageants, the Thespians have given energy to a num- ber of projects. However, for the past 25 years this talented group of students has had as one of its most successful projects, The Dinner Theatre. This year’s Dinner Theatre was held on April 8th and 9th at Parkwood Elementary School. The delicious spaghetti dinner was prepared by Thespian's parents and sup- porters of the troup. The students were responsible for serving the guests and pro- viding entertainment. Many of the thespi- ans had the opportunity to perform for the audi ence. For many that chance gave them confidence and personal satisfaction. Each member was responsible for sell- ing six tickets for each night. Also the students were responsible for setting up the entire ‘‘cafe’’ for both evenings. Although all the acts were super, the highlight of the evening was the perfor- mance of the one-act play ‘‘Runaways.”’ The group had worked together as a family since late in September to create an award- winning, heart-touching show. They suc- ceeded. The Dinner Theatre paid for the group to go to Jekyll Island on April 21st. On this weekend the cast and crew of “Runaways” had the chance to perform at a Vocational Conference. The year 1988 proved to be one of growth for the Thespians and Dinner The- atre was only part of this growth. GSa S alot of UO rh, to do! Menta Bornetle
