SINGING ABOUT AMERICA, Sr. Rochelle Gal- lup, as Anita, convinces the Sharks' girlfriends that living in America is much better that living in Puerto Rico, AN INTENSE CLIMAX concludes West Side Sto- ry as Tony dies in Maria's arms. Jr. Cydney Rosen- baum and Sr. Seth Ryan played the leads. John krun West Side Story Tells tale of , 0 CG ont you know that the problem of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world'?,' When Sam Spade said this to Elsa in the final scene of Casablanca, he was expressing the universal theme of ill-timed love. One of the best explorations of this theme is found in the musical drama West Side Story which was produced by the Overland theater department April 6-9. The production of West Side Story was a real credit to the performing arts de- partment. It is one of the most difficult broadway musicals ever written. Mr. John 1 6 Activities Vw. V3 Kron said, I've wanted to do West Side Story for fifteen years. Until now, I've never been in a place where we've had the right combination of singers, actors, danc- ers, technicians, and instrumentalists. It is very difficult on every level. Sr. Karen Porter was the student director and Sr. Bill Convery was the stage man- ager. The 35 member cast consisted of 31 students and four teachers who played the adult roles. Adding Tony Manfredi as Offi- cer Krupke, Harry Bull as Detective Schrank, Morgan Graham as Glad Hand, and Neal Wallace as Doc emphasised the fact that the show was about teenagers. i John Kron , 6 ftlldi The climax of the show takes place al- most at the conclusion when Tony dies. Jr. Cydney Rosenbam, who played the part of Maria, said that they did such a good job of intensifying the final scene that the audi- ence hesitated to applaud. She said, It was so 'heavy' that they didn't want to break the moment. l've never seen that happen in a high school production before. Overall, l'West Side Story was a thor- oughly well done production. As Kron said, I believe very firmly that a show is only as good as its weakest part, and l'm hard pressed to find a weak part about 'West Side Storyfl' Copy and Layout I fer N1cQu:iid
