Life Is On The Mississippi The orchestra sounded, the curtain opened, and the A Cappella Choir and Chorale came to life in their first perfor- mance of Showboat. Showboat is the story of two people traveling along the Mississippi River. They meet and fall in love. The most memorable songs of the show included “Only Make Believe’, “Can't Help Lovin’ That Man”, and “Ol’ Man River’. Larry Klausch, general producer of the show, said that he was pleased at the way the show turned out. ‘The kids really did a good job this year. | am very pleased with the final producti ons.” There were a couple of things that made scene changes a little slower. The main thing was the boat. It was cumber- some and hard to move, even though it was on rollers. Another problem was the “Trocadero” scene. This scene involved setting up a restaurant; placing a number of tables and chairs on the stage. In the first couple of dress rehears- als, this scene was the slowest in setting up. By the time the shows came, everything was running smoothly. The student reaction to the show varied. Some of the students didn't think that the show was performed as well as in previous years. ‘Some of the actors needed work on their acting. | couldn’t hear a lot of them even though | sat right near the front.” commented one student. But many people liked the show. “I really enjoyed the music.’’ com- mented Junior Paul Lehman. Many people commented thaf they liked the change of pace from last year. So the musical can be considered a success.
