Road to Perfection. Evening practices were re- quired of the cast members in order to prepare for the May production. A comedy replaced the tradi- tional spring musical. New Directions in Drama The spring play A Thurber Carni- val differed from the traditional spring play in a number of ways. Instead of the traditional musical, di- rector John Myer chose a drama.

Actors in the play also felt there was a lack of publicity for the perfor- mance. The situation was aggravated by the late choice of a director and a late choice of play. It was disappointing that there were not more people in the audience. I don ' t think we performed to our full capability. stated Heather Shaw. In addition there was the feeling that the play was not appropriate for high school actors or high school audi- ences. The play was based on the writings of James Thurber and was written in the early 1930s. Much of the language and the humor was just old fashioned. This made it hard to memorize the lines and the younger audiences had trouble following the play. stated Michelle Kirchner. Even with the built in difficulties, the players and the audiences alike approved of the production. But it did seem strange not to have a spring musical, concluded Matt Tagliaferri. — D.H.
