Sta act The haunting ac- tion ofthe 'House of Blue Leaves' left its mark on all of us. Senior Lisa Mar- tinez's hilarious portrayal of an amoral, self-serving brat was fault- less. She stole the show with her struts and New York ac- cents. The 'House of Blue Leaves' was a play put on by drama for the Eng- lish classes and later taken to contest, where it won lst at regionals and 2nd at state. 'Leaves' was centered on the life of Artie Schanasee and his insane wife LISTEN .NOW S The one act play, House of Blue Leaves, per- formed in the fall by the Drama Department plac- ed second in State and first in Regionals. Matt Scott portrayed Ronnie Shaunsey. .Evil Bananas. Artie wants to run away with his lover Bunny and move to California to rekindle his dying musical career. Artie himself is pyschotic, from years of living with the insane, blubber- ing, and servile Ban- anas, who can no longer give him the the things he needs from a wife. She cannot talk to him, she cannot think on his human level,and she can never give him support. Slip- ping into insanity. he begins to taunt her cruelly, telling her that their son hates her, and that the pope hates her, too, Artie was por- trayed well by Steve Titus, iunior. He was a natural actor, with a smooth, realistic thespian style. ln his last kiss with Ban- anas, there wasn't a dry eye in the auditorium. Bananas was played by senior Eva Gregory. Eva, a winner of countless trophies at speech and drama tourna- ments, turned in her usual great perfomi- ance. She walked the line of humor and total insanity that Bananas was meant to represent. Her eerie acting sunk into everyone that watched, her mastery weaving them into her spell. Bunny was played by Lisa Martinez. Lisa, another incred- ible dramatic talent, has won uncount- able trophies also. She was the laugh riot of the play, her childish antics filling the auditorium with laughter. Other characters included a produ- cer, three nuns, a sex symbol, and the Shanasee's son. Drama did it again, proving that we can lose our- selves for an hour in a world we never dreamed of. A 'Q
