Thespians bring Luke to Little Theater stage Many lives have been portrayed in the past 'few years at SLOSH, but never such a dramatic life as St. Luke's. Dear and Glorious Physician enjoyed a five- night run. For the year's opener the drama department pre- sented Century's Cabaret , a variety show featuring song and dance routines from early American to the present day. The inside story of what really happened to the prin- cess and the pea was told in the musical, Once Upon a Mattress. lt was particularly well suited to the high school stage because the story was fun, and not as serious as some of the previous musicals and did not require a full-scale orchestra. Taken on tour to all the city elementary schools was the annual children's play. The many children were fascinated with both Alice and the Cheshire Cat of the well known fairy tale Alice in Wonderland. BEGINNING OF THE END-The Virgin Mary, played by Vicki Nelson, confides in St. Luke in the last scene of Dear and Glorious Physi- cian. Bath in their late 5O's, this is where the book of Luke begins, but where the play ends fat rightt. COMFORTING HAND-St. Luke portrayed by Charles Lunn, sits by the side of Priscus, played by Garry Eister, his ill step brother.
