The Mikado N THE eventful nights of February first and second, the curtain rose upon our class presentation of that immortal Gilbert and Sullivan production, The Mikado. A great hush fell over the audienceg the overhead lights were dimmed, and the orchestra pit assumed an eerie glow as small lights flickered on here and there. Now the silhouette of the conductor drew applause as The Mikado was about to make its premier appearance. Behind the scenes, silk-clad orientals, rustling softly back and forth and whispering in subdued tones, were almost strangled by an overpowering sense of nervousness. But after the curtain went up and the familiar music began, each actor felt relievedg the preceding months of rehearsal imparted a sense of confidence to everyone, and Mr. Gorman's white hands, although somewhat blurred and indistinct through the glare of the foot- lights, signalled every note from the blackness of the pit and inspired everyone with an assurance that nothing could go wrong. Then it was with joy that every- one sang and danced, putting every ounce of concentration and effort into his part. Cynthia Scribner as Yum Yum and Bruce Miller as Nanki-Poo delightfully supplied the romantic interest, while Pam Walker and Don Lucier as Katisha and Ko-Ko, both with a sense of humor almost equal to that of Gilbert himself, kept everyone in gales of laughter. Gordon Almstead presented the wily Pish-Tush to perfection, and Bob Finnegan made a marvelous Pooh-Bah - so very, very haughty was he. As Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, Gerry Seagrave and Ruthjansen were two of the most adorable little maids ever, and as for the Mikado, Basil jones was every inch an emperor. Both ofthe choruses were excellent in their support- ing work, and the orchestra was superb. 96
