Juniors “Remember Mama Broadway came to Red Bank Regional's auditorium on November 15,16, and 17 as the Class of 1981 pre- sented I Remember Mama. Newly located in San Francisco, Mama, por- trayed by Ann Stephenson, led the Hanson family through many trou- bled times. Mama's eldest daughter Katrina, Lisa Peterson, narrated the entire play in addition to performing dramatically. The supporting cast included David Tanen as Uncle Chris; Tim Enander, Papa; Jen Bohanan, Sean Byrnes and Elaine Martino, Mama's other children; Diann Chamberlain, Dana Judge and Amy Westerman, Mama's sisters. Directed by Mrs. Renee Maxwell, the cast of over thirty juniors spent many long hours preparing for the show which played to an audience of approximately 150 theater goers each night. Foreign Exchange student Liisa Theilgaard from Denmark worked with the cast as a dialect coach; she helped to perfect the necessary accents. Behind the scenes Mr. Warren Matson, Assistant to the Director in Charge of Set, supervised the cre- ation of scenery for the Hanson's home in the weeks before the pro- duction took place. Student stage manager junior Donna Jones helped organize leading constructors junior Peter Klein, freshman Mary Dobry and seniors, Kelly Conrader and Shel- ley Harrison in the development of both the internal and external set designs which were utilized upon a raised platform for the show.
