PREPARING FOR THEIR parts in Antigone, Srs. Georgia Benjou and Louise McAdams enjoy a quiet moment. Antigone ran for three nights. JR. CAMERON ROMNEY and Sr. Dave Wilson stand guard in a preplay scene. Both were responsi- ble for carrying out the king's CCreon'sJ dirty work in the play. Leslie Mor 'C .es ie uro c .op New Ideas,Actors, 1,95 Ancil- Director Equal 0 She was a rebel, defying the king during a time when no- body questioned authority. She was Antigone. Antigone was a unique play. It was not the usual comedy or musical, but an intense Greek tragedy. This required seri- ous drama which actors respect because of its difficulty. Antigone, which ran November 21, 22, and 23, was done differently than oth- er plays. First of all, it was held in the new cafeteria. This allowed a new dimension and a little life to the play. Being in the cafeteria required more muscle from the stagecrew, otherwise known as techies. It was a little difficult in the cafeteria because all the equipment had to be put 3 6 Activities up and also taken down every night, said Sr. Todd Bole. This being her first year teaching, Miss Karen Schiemann attempted to try some- thing different and thought it worked out well. HI think Antigone was a success. Just doing it in the cafeteria was impres- sive. Getting new students involved was another factorf' Miss Schiemann stated. She became interested in putting on An- tigone before the school year even began. After seeing it done over the summer, I thought that it could be done here. Then you start visualizingf' she said. Despite having little acting experience, Sr. Garrett Gunter won the role of An- tigone's fiance. It was my first play at Overland. After coming off stage, I felt like going back and doing it all over again, Garrett explained. The question of whether or not just anyone can act has been debated, but Sr. Georgia Benjou said, Not everyone can make themselves believable on stage. Some get nervous, or others find it embarrassing. During a production, the director and the cast may run across problems making it hard to pull off. But most Antigone cast members agreed that everyone worked as a team. Many times we would have partial cast rehearsals where differ- ent people would practice on different days, so it was nice to see how well we worked when we were all together, Geor- gia said. Overall, 'fAntigone was the result of new ideas, new actors, and a new director. It proved that even a story as serious as Antigone could become a success. Prin- cipal Joe Adamo added, They really took some mature subject matter and produced it into somethingf'
