Joy rings in the yuletide season As the Christmas season rolled around so did the time for the opening of Joy the modern rock musical dealing with the birth of Christ. The cast of 12 included Lisa McCoy as Mary, Matt Norris as Joseph, an Kevin McCluskey as the evil and wicked King Herod. The others played varying parts for each section of the play such as the three wise men, maids and servants, Joseph 's donkey and the animals in the stable. The good humor man, a character not usually found in the nativity story can be classified as an updated comical version of the innkeeper. lt all came together under the direction of Mary Ellen Doyle, Marie Spencer, and Katarina Lowenburg. The dancing, singing, and acting in the play put the grade school Christmas plays that we probably were all in, to shame. The acting and dancing perfor- mances can be attributed to the directors and actors but something should be said for the music accompaniment which can be ac- t , .,e,,,..

Father James Doyle also should be men- tioned for his part, hosting the play at St. Michaels. According to the crowds over- whelming response and size, the play can be summed up as a big success which continues the tradi- tion of fine nlays at 0'Gl!

hiwar- Q as v ,gm ' N? Technical crew's work pays off on opening night Time: Opening night. Director: Well open the curtains, turn on the spot lights . . . What! There is no one to do it, and we have no set! Well, what are we going to do? No set, no sound, no lights. How would you like to be in the director's shoes? Well lucky for Miss Spelts, we have Mr. Brick and the students who volunteer their valuable time. Hammering, sawing, painting, sta- pling, plastering, measuring, cut- ting, glueing and sweeping, include many of the rewarding activities the technical crew does. Then just to egg spice up the long hours of construc- tion, they have an occasional paint tight here and giggling gab session over there. But between the horse play, a lot of work does get done, Mr. Brick makes sure of that. So you see, without the tech- nical crew, to build the set, pull the curtains, work the lights and sound: the old saying that says The show must go on would be changed to The show can't go on! Among the many people who helped this year, include: Ann Marie Naughton, Sheila McGreevy, Elyssa Ellerbroek, Lisa Rogers, Karla Damm, Jo Anne Petri, Mary Liver- more, Christy Kleppin, Greg Kenne- ly, Michelle Dubbelde, Renee Tim- mer, Sally Tapkin, Dan Weight, Suzanne Ollerich, Denise Crotteau, Ryan Bolger, Mark Kunkel, Morgan Kolberg, and Jolene Hiebert Clockwise startlng left: Lisa Rogers performs the tedious task of stapllng . . .
