Madwoman of Chaillot proves a worthwhile challenge ' The Madwoman of Chaillot, presented November 12 and 13 in the Roosevelt auditorium was a technical as well as theatrical challenge for the Roosevelt Drama Department. This play was written by the well known French writer, Jean Giradoux. High school students have rarely presented this play since it involved two completely different sets and a large cast. Jane Voigts held the lead role as Countess Aurelia. The other three madwomen were portrayed by Leesa Christensen, Cathy Riddley, and Heather Stanfield. Mr. Holcomb was in charge of the set design, as well as other technical aspects of the play. The director, Mr. R.C. Anderson, felt that the difficult roles were portrayed extremely well by the cast. He said that the overall production was a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Above: Jane Voigts intrigues Leesa Christensen and Heather Stanfield with her plans. Left: Joel Kiess tells Jane Voigts of the evils of the business world. Below: Mike Higgins, Aaron Johnson, and Brad Carpenter scheme over how to take over the madwoman ' s oil. 14 Fall Play
