Our Town Comes “We all seem to live In the “fast lane these days and lose sight of essential things such as strong family ties and the enjoyment of simpler moments and events said Our Town direc- tor Jerry Worsham. “The cast and I have enjoyed our association with this script and what It says about mak- ing every moment count,” he added. Becky Pierce who played Emily Web In the production said, “We learn to work side by side with the cast and crew. This In- volved patience, under- standing, and sensitivity from everyone Involved It takes team effort and sup- port to succeed. The key word Is communication. We all strive for the final goal which Is to make It the best show we can possibly doI To be “In tune with the times” Is one reason why Jerry Worsham picked this particular play. “We had not done a play like this In sev- eral years, and It gave the students an opportunity for a different kind of staging. Also the mood of the coun- try has swung back to coun- try basic, and this play re- flects a lot of those values, Mr. Worsham explained. THE CAS1 (In order of thdk :jLl, STAGE MANAGER DR.
