 l s ctara 7a6e tctco i By: Soundhra Lakshmanan What does it take for students to become actors? Desire, good obser- vation skill, and hard work were the three major areas stressed by Mr. Middleton, play director. These three characteristics are exactly what make up the cast for this year's play. See How They Run. The play is a British farce with plenty of fast action, rapid fire dia- logue. ridiculous characters, mistaken identity, and just plain fun. The play was first produced in 1949 in London. England, and is from in that time peri- od. The tryouts for the play were held January II and 12. However, the actual performances will be held to- ward the last weekend in March. One might ask. why almost two months of practice for just a school play?” It takes this long because students need plenty of patience and practice to learn their parts. By the end of March the cast will have practiced almost 93 hoursl The student director is Karen Thompson and the technical assis- tants are Kevin Wallace and Eric Wat- ers. The following students were cho- sen as cast: Beth Bashum: Kristi Bee- son: Eli Braden: Monica Carroll: Julie Chitty: Steve Cone: Ricky Daniels: Terrell Doolen: Shawn Donoho: Melin- da Evans: Dan Helpingstine: Emiley Morris: Joe Puffer: Derek Stevens: and Jimmy Tucker. Middleton has been directing plays at SCHS for five years. When asked to sum up the play in one word he replied. Hilarious! 16 Plsy
