All scenes from the play deal with the growth and relationship of the mother, played by se- nior Jennifer Marshall; the father, portrayed by senior Jude Rutledge; and their son, by newcomer Scott Lowry.

For the thespians, the year started off with a bang. In THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER the comedy was a roaring success, receiving standing ova- tions. The play was about a pompous radio personality who had a small accident on the porch of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley and eventually turns their house into a chaotic mess. There was also a love story between two young peo- ple which was meant to be, but Mr. Whiteside tries to break it up by bringing a whole cast of zany characters in. Although the second play, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, was much more dramat- ic, the cast and crew did a great job por- traying the lives of the Jewish Frank family. The show was about real people that were hunted down by members of their own coun- try. Not all of it was a downer, there were very humorous parts as well. This play was for enjoyment as well as education. It taught us all about the hardship those kind of people go through. Harriet (Jenny Marshall) , Maggie (Heather Morgan) and Sheridan Whiteside (Scott Edwards) enjoy a visit from ianjo (Mr Wood). Mrs. VanDaan (Jenny Marshall) comforts her husband (Colly Orrell) after he is caught stealing what little food the refugees have. Lorraine (Stephanie D ' Abruzzo) IWrts with Bert Jeffer son (Dave Rush). Plays 21
