A Gustave, Derek Wood, tells Juliette, Becci Jones, why he has to tie her up before he takes off with the valuables. Fall Presentation On November 19 and 20, under the direction of Mrs. John Chaisson, Raytown High School students presented the comedy, THIEVES' CARNIVAL by Jean Anouilh. The action took place in France, in alight, farcical vein that set the imagination free. The story revolved around the antics of a threesome of pickpockets who assumed the identities of Spanish noblemen in an attempt to strip the household of Lady Hurf and Lord Edgar of its valuables. Their main obstacle came from an unexpected source when the youngest of their crew, Gustave, fell in love with Lady 'Hurf's niece Juliet. Various problems arose in the staging and production of THIEVES' CARNIVAL, Tape-recorded music proved unsatisfactory and so the clarinetist, Pam Pruitt, had to perch herself upon the cat walks high above the stage. The same basic set was used for each scene change and so the problem of moving, arranging, and lashing the various 8 foot flats into position had to be tackled by an able stage crew. Fred Schieszer, lighting chairman, was faced with several major lighting changes from very dull to bright light. But the difficulties were overcome and the thieves stole the show. f ' 1. ,Z Is tl Q Rick Cle Setzer, on
