Merry-go-rounds, clowns, jugglers, and old-fasnioned costumes on spirited young singers and actors transformed McGuire stage into a festive and colorful setting ready for high drama. On the evenings of March 16, 17, 18, and 19, RHS choirs combined efforts to present the Rodgers and Hammerstine musical Carousel. Involving nearly 100 students on stage, in the orchestra pit, and back stage, Carousel was well received by the community. Student directors and back-stage crews deserve much credit for effective lighting, period costumes, and imaginative properties. Mr. Eby and Mr. Burkhardt, musical directors, were assisted by Scott Parrish, a graduate of RHS, who served as dramatic director. Described as being romantic, melodramatic,colorful, tuneful and melodic, comical and tragic, and an evening of sheer theatrical entertainment,Carousel concludes with one of Broadway’s most lasting songs, You’ll never waif, alone. Major singers and actors were Bruce Binning, Angela Kirby, Rob Tripp, Melissa Harris, Patty Brooks, Hope Steinert, Tim Vaughan, Jeff Perkins. Renee Harp, Rick Madden, Ann Doyle, Ann Jenkins, Nick May, Kent McConnell, Dave Hayes, Jane Coomes, Kevin Perkins, Greg Tipton, and Bill Brisco. A large chorus of sailors, townspeople, miflworkers,children,and dancers, completed the on-stage cast. Musical 21
