EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS I an Patti Zlaket, '87, gives a convincing perfor- mance as the cool and mysterious Miss Casewell. IDIIAII A t llZQl!Q195pxtIUIDIDIEID fall play delivers chills hodunit? That was the question in everyone's mind at the Poorman's Theater's fall production of the longest running play ever, The Mousetrap. This Agatha Christie thriller was both humorous and suspenseful, demanding the audience's attention throughout the performance. One aspect that was notably unique was the absence of main characters. The cast consisted of eight people, each with equal parts. The characters were Mollie and Giles Ralston, played by Suzi lmes, '87, and Mike Tearne '86, as the couple who ran Monkswell Manor Guest House, their five guests, played by lan Beutler, '88, Alysia Gray, '88, Dave Schnur, '87, Greg Ferro, '87, and Patti Zlaket, '87, and the detective, played by Jimmie Gyuro, '88, The audience turnout for The Mousetrap was exceptional. According to stage manager Kyle Wade, '86, Usually the fall plays don't have as good a turnout as the spring plays, but this year that wasn't true. lt started a really good season, said Zlaket. The mystery's surprise and uncertainty kept the viewers alert. I could tell that each audience got really involved with the plot. commented sound director Karen Gruber, '88. There was a remarkable closeness between the cast, crew, and the director, Mr. John Dadante. Mr, D, as he is affectionately known, demanded perfection and would not accept second best, according to Gray. He affected my life, commented Zlaket. John Dadante also made it all a learning experience. Said lmes, For someone who had never been in a play before, he was very understanding, and he taught me a lot. All who watched were amazed at the cooperation and the smoothness of the play. The cast seemed to be like a big family, everyone worked great together, noted Lisa Foran, '88, I thought the play was very well put together. lt had a certain quality about it that was enjoyable, said Rachel Quebedeaux, '88. lt was, as she said, an eyecatching production.
