The Lollipop Matinee . WW 'Mfr if 4 , .. We if , X4 ff W ,. Q Q. f YQ ,M 4, 5 E. f Student Life Lollipop Matinee has been a tradition at Parkway Central for 11 years. The show originated as a senior project which included mime, story, clown, and at that time puppet troupes. This production was a combined team effort of the producer, Betty Pfaff, the student directors, and the performers. Prep. arations for the show involved two weeks of rehearsing after school in addition to the troupes working together all year. Attendance at one of the two matinees was a special treat for preschool and kinder. garten children throughout the area. Every year the theme has been a birthday party fo, one of the Peanuts characters. This year'5 production was Schroeder's birthday. Children from the audience came on stage and participated in the party. Pfaff said lt gets kids away from the T.V. and they re. ceive some cultural enrichment in seeing live theater. Student directors of the play in- cluded Dan Guller, Sandy Eastwood, Brad Plein, and Karen Schaeffer. Lollipops were given to the 650 children and teachers who attended. The actual performance was spectacular. This year's show was upbeat, fast-paced, and a lot of fun for the children, said Junior Lori Swabby. Senior Lisa Woody clowns around. Senior Brad Eisenhower, Junior Danny Weinstein, Ju- nior Scott Hantman, guest of Karen Schaeffer, and Senior Lisa Woody sing Happy Birthday to the children.

ti' S Q 1' f 1. Thatis entertainment. Feel the lights. See the stage. lt's enter- tainment. We are a world of entertainment, and no one believes it more than those stu- dents who put their time and effort into producing the student directed One Acts. The student directors were selected by Betty Pfaff, drama director. They were Sen- iors Stacey Farbes, Dan Guller, Sandy Eastwood, Charles Walton, and Chris Miller. These positions were based on their ability to work with others and their ability to put together new ideas and make them work. Directors were also required to have taken a drama class. The actors themselves were selected through open auditions. Any student could try out. The student directors hand picked all students they wished to be in their show. They were chosen for their ability to speak, act and work well with others. The student directed One Acts were a success. They were well put together and directed. Pfaff said, Their ability to work together towards a common goal was what made the One Acts work. That's what the audience saw. 4 ' ' 41211 . f ' , ffl Junior Derek Rudman gives Senior Stacy Sokolik the eye.
