Drama Dimensions of fancy illusions by Roselie Vasquez xit — stage right; en- Eter the world of make- belive, where any- thing that can ' t hap- pen will happen! The troupe of talented actors and ac- tresses involved in drama possess great talent and dedication as they began ev- ery show with eagerness and enthusiasm to appear on the stage and entertain to the ut- most of their ability. These versatile perform- ers who produced a Drama Showcase, A Christmas Carol and Once Upon A Mattress. combined hu- mor, drama, and a technical awareness to perform pro- fessional productions with high audience appeal. To senior Lynn Esparo, Drama is a good way to be- come more outgoing. You can meet new people, and it ' s always good to get in- volved with clubs that are really active around the school and community. Advisor Ms. Patricia De Paul frequently expressed during rehearsal that Dra- ma is an outlet of emotions. By acting, the group collecti- vely is able to escape their surroundings for a while and forget the pressure and re- sponsibilities of the real world. Thus, the group was able to retain their sanity, which otherwise might have exited — stage left! V Tell me why! cries Emmy Vanderoest for the fifteenth time, as Keith Davis responds with a gesture of confusion. It is this type of repetitive rehearsal that allows actors to perfect their scenes and performances. I ' ll never wash this cheek again! ' ' sighs Lynn Esparo after receiving a kiss from her leading man in A Christmas Carol. Lynn ' s comedy was an ever popular asset to the show. Organizations 133
