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!

Schultz play You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown consisted of a conglomera- tion of main skits separated by short skits involving the characters from Charles Schultz's famous Peanuts comic strip. Characters included Theresa Brunetti as Snoopy, the dog with fantasies of gunning down the Red Baron, Jeff Barnett played the totally inept Charlie Brown, Katie Randall acted as Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally, Matt Norris played Betho ven 's disciple, Schroeder, Mari Teeman played Schroeder's unwanted girlfriend, Lucy, and Jim Billion portrayed Linus, the boy with a blanket addiction. The show tells the story of Charlie Brown and his struggles not to do idiotic things, such as making a fool of himself in front of his true love of his life, the little red-haired girl, and of trying to win a game of baseball for once in his life and amuses all ages his friend's struggles to be patient with his ineptitude during games when he invariably either pitches a perfect ball to the opposing team or misses the ball completely when he's up to bat. The scenery, a group of colored blocks in various shapes and sizes, served as anything from chairs to seesaws. The main skits included one in which the group lamented over several topics ranging from whether to wait until the next day to do the assignment, to how many words they could think of that are vaguely related to the subject of the book Peter Rabbit . A small pit band consisting of Mary Jensen, Jeff Hurley, and Sheila McGreevy accompanied the charactors during the musical numbers. Sara Spelts and Kevin Brick served as the directors for the play. 94
