CINDERELLA 1P7 5 CINDERELLA CONCERT — By PETER iMcISAAC All the choir members were now standing smartly straightening their ties and combing their hair. After a short wai t we walked into the hall proudly with big grins on our faces. Wc had funny feelings in our stomachs from all the excitement of being in the concert finally after all the practise. Looking around I saw people talking, smiling and looking in the choir for their ' darling sweethearts. ' The lights went off. Everything was so silent you could have heard a pin drop. The play began. Soon the choir stood up and sang a song called Tally Ho , a song about the prince ' s hunters going on a hunt. Many times I was tempted to look back but I knew a good choir boy would never do that! So I just had to sing and listen. I saw the lights go on and off on the choir and actors with many different colours. The songs were varied very much. Some were graceful, some soft, some gay and some romantic. Then there was an interval. We talked about our mistakes and hoped we would do better in the next half. Finally it was over. Our voices were strained and hoarse, but we received much applause so we knew that we were successful. Taking part in Cinderella was exciting for me. I was chosen as the father of Cinderella, The Baron Stoneybroke. I thought I could never memorize the lines 1 was given, there were so many! But we got underway with the first practice, learn- ing where to stand, what to say and what to do. We practised for weeks and then months, until finally we got the whole cast ready. A few weeks before the actual play we had our first make-up treatment. Grease was put on my face first, then cream, lipstick, powder and white spray to make me look old. Mrs. Bean was in charge of putting the make-up on me. I had to squint my eyes and do all these other things. The make-up was ridiculous! Now I know what women feel like when they have to put on that yuchee stuff! ! Then it was the night of the play. I had butterflies in my stomach but they felt more like cowboys and Indians fighting each other. The performance was then over. The play did not have many technical, mistakes but it was nicely done. On the whole all of us felt good! JEAN PAUL MARKS. J4W. I was Prince Charming in the Christmas production, Cinderella. It was fun and I think all the other people who took part in the play had a good time too. We spent weeks, and months practising dances and parts before the show got off the ground. We had terrible grease and make-up all over our faces. I felt nervous when the trumpets blew and the curtains were drawn. Life was not so nice because people teased me everywhere I went. I did not mind too much but my opinion of those people has changed greatly. We had short times for changing and we had to do it with great precision. One time one of the ugly sister ' s zipper got stuck the wig was thrown on and we hoped the audience did not notice. At one time Cinderella ' s tiara got stuck in her hair when she changed into her rags. The stage crew had to work very fast changing the pumpkin to a coach, but as anyone who watched the play saw they did it in time. We imported a wizard! Cinderella was a great success and I look fonvard to fur- ther productions. MICHAEL STUBBS. J4W.
