Juniors Delight With A Unique “Comedy of Errors” Fabulous and full of fun is how Mrs. Todt described this year's Junior Play, A Comedy of Errors. The comedy, written by William Shakespeare, was cleverly staged by Mr. Joe Russo. The play incorporated the traditional scenes of the work, yet many of the characters and costumes in the play were made more exciting and modern. Mr. Russo showed the audience how Shakespeare's works can be adapted to fit any age. The plot of the play revolved around the characters played by Seniors Terry Flynn, Tim Ticehurst, Steve Siegler, and Dylan Johnson, two sets of twins who were separated at birth. The production was about the confusion that resulted when both sets of twins wound up in the same town. The stage crew once again did a wonderful job. The scenery was com- plete with balconies and trap doors that added excitement to the chase scenes in the play. The buildings of the town were very realistic, showing the vast talent the stage crew possessed. Though the play had a small cast, the actors and actresses involved managed to put on an excellent show. The production incorporated everything from well-read soliloquys to hilarious chase scenes. This year's Junior Play was once again steeped in talent and enjoyed by all. OPPOSI11 PAGI.

Energy Show Sparks Energy Awareness Rock music during school?! This was what students heard blasting from the auditorium on the morning of November 12 as a crew set up for the most innovative if not the best assembly ever presented at Red Bank Regional. What other assembly of- fered a comedian doing a Pee-Wee Herman imitation, a film with colorful graphics similar to a music video and a rock concert with musicians who have played backup for such groups as Chaka Khan, Hall and Oates, Julian Lennon and Kool and the Gang? The Energy Show was all of this and more. Marking the beginning of Na- tional Energy Awareness Week, the Energy Show was created as a part of ''The Energy is You'' campaign with teenagers being the target for the in- formation on energy conservation. Mr. Leonard Coleman, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Energy, explained how the Energy Show reached teenagers. Because we decided that youth had to be a primary target of the campaign, we particularly looked for the things that would capture the attention of to- day's students: high technology, music, startling visual and sound ef- fects and comedy. The result is the Energy Show. The set-up of the program made it interesting for students and faculty. First, comedian Gary DeLena warm- ed up the crowd at the opening with jokes and imitations. He brought energy issues to a real and personal level for the students. Then Energy Odyssey, a twelve minute film with sophisticated graphics and narration by the star of Broadway's Evita Patti LuPone, presented solutions to energy waste with conservation being highlighted. Finally came the most surprising element of the show. The c urtains opened to reveal a band who belted out tunes concerning energy conservation and the role each per- son could play in it. With Jeff and David Gellis on guitars, Tim Bran- nigan on percussion, Jeff Young on keyboards and Brian McManus on both guitar and keyboards. State Property performed original songs which were written especially for the Energy Show. Realizing that Red Bank Regional was only one of thirty schools where the Energy Show was presented main- ly because of our excellent facilities made the faculty and students feel special. Also knowing that the assembly was being filmed for broad- cast television made an interesting and innovative program even more exciting. Senior Sheila Fagan praised the show by stating, It was good because it was geared toward our generation. They informed us by get- ting us involved instead of lecturing.
