Annie Opens With a Bang Rogers and Hammerstein's Annie Cet Your Gun was presented by the senior class on April 25, 26 and May 2, 3. The play was set in Ohio and cen- tered around Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. When Colonel Buffalo Bill, played by Dane Mihlon, discovered sharpshooter Annie Oakley, por- trayed by Karen Halloran, he made her part of his famous Wild West Show. Already the star of the show was tall, handsome Frank Butler, por- trayed by Augie Ponturiero, who was a hero to all the local girls and very unimpressed with Annie, both per- sonally and professionally. Annie, much more adept at hitting the bull- seye than capturing a man's heart, set out to make Frank notice her by per- forming fantastic feats of shooting skill. Charlie Davenport was Frank's manager, played by David Rainey. Annie and Frank's assistant Dolly Tate, portrayed by Beth Finch, became rivals because they were both in love with Frank. Annie won the star role in Buffalo Bill's Show but lost Frank, whose male vanity she had succeeded in wounding, when he left to headline Pawnee Bill's rival show. The Buffalo Bill Show went to Europe, with Annie a star yet a very discontented woman; but, as always happens in happy stories, Frank also missed Annie, and ultimately love was the winner. The finale found the two sharpshooters and the two Wild West shows merging and proving once again that There's No Business Like Show Business. The cast dressed in typical mid western style overalls, cowboy boots and hats. Some costumes were rented from a costume shop; others were provided by the cast members themselves. Students dedicated long hours at night from 7-12 and after school to rehearse. The stage crew worked diligently to construct the mid-western atmosphere of the play. The director, Mrs. Renee Maxwell, musical director, Mrs. Alice Berman, technical director, Mr. Warren Mat- son and members of the stage crew worked with the cast on the senior production of Annie Get Your Gun. cr.niwittj ABOVE Assistant Dolly Tate, portrayed by Beth Finch and manager Charlie Dayenport, played by David Rainey, run through a scene for Mrs. Maxwell at an evening rehearsal ABOVE RIGHT: Annie's little brother and sis ters, Karen Donohue, Christie Hotaling, Deb bie VanVelthovan, and Matthew Izzo with Annie in her rendition of the song, What Comes Nat'rully. 24
