Time consumption? Do you really want to talk about time consumption? In the Drama Club production of Pippin last spring, the phrase time consumption could be an understate- ment. This play took up the time, energy, and the nerves of cast members, stage crew, orchestra, and the director; This show was one of the highlights of my senior year, stated senior Corrie Harding. Try-outs were held in early Febru- ary. Shortly after, the orchestra re- ceived their music, and the stage crew received scripts so that they could get to work on the scenery. The cast began working on mem- orizing lines. This process was not any thing new to the veteran actors of the cast, but to the newer actors, some in their first major role, this memoriza- tion proved to be difficult. Meanwhile, some of the orchestra members were pulling their hair out over the music that was given to them. The music was difficult, and many seventh period band days were spent in the practice rooms learning it. One problem that arose was finding a piano player. Then, one was found: Charles Eversole. The only problem was that Charles held the lead role of Pippin in the production, and so director David Gannon was forced to hire an outside pianist. Meanwhile, the stage crew was bit- ing nails over the scenery. Many props and backgrounds went into Pippin , but once again, the crew handled the situation well, and got everything well organized. Finally, everything seemed to be in order. The many hours that went into the production paid off. The pep-talks, retakes and headaches pulled together in a funny, entertaining, and a profes- sional looking show. Time consumption? It really didn ' t matter, because the cast, crew, and or- chestra were in their element. BATTLE PRAYER. Richard Johnson and Charles Eversole pray for a successful slaughter. This role urns Richard ' s first performance at RHHS since his transfer from Brush High. 12 Spring Musical
