Bad wealher played havoc with the Spring musical presented by RLC on March 22 and 23 in the Mt. Vernon Township High School Auditorium. Snow and ice failed to prevent an enthusiastic audience from attending the final performance. Carnival is the story of a young girl who wanders into the hurly-burly carnival world. Though enthralled with the magic of the troupe ' s magician, the orphaned girl finds true love with a crippled puppeteer who tells her of his feelings through four darling puppets. The show moved from one scene to the next without the use of a curtain. Roustabouts simply pushed scenery on and off as needed. Banners were flown in as necessary. The haunting theme song, Love Makes the World Go Round runs through the show, weaving together one of the most enchanting musicals for stage.
