The orchestra tunes up, house lights dim, curtains raise, and the spotlight picks up Dolly Levi, matchmaker extraordinaire, played by Linda Phillips. Thorton Wilder's play The Matchmakeri' was the basis for RHS's first musical production, Hello, Dol- ly, presented January 25-29 at Gardner auditorium. The extravaganza was to involve speaking and vo- cal solo roles, chorus roles, dancing roles, and, of course, orchestra parts. With cast selected, rehearsals began. More rehears- als. And more rehearsals - every afternoon and even- ing until . . . opening night. The plan behind s'Hello, Dolly was to promote student participation in a school-sponsored activity, and that it did with approximately 100 people in- t volved in the production - students, teachers, speech and drama departments, music department, art de- partment, and journalism department, as well as many ' helping hands of assistance from the community. Mr. Dan Raines directed the production. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Irby choreographed and assisted in cast- ing the dance roles. Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Shepherd managed the musical part of the play. .Anand 6 7 4 Q.: w-' K A i xe.'x , 0' 'A 'V' 'T' z r.
