The plays took place on Nov. 7th and 8th, At the beginning of 'juvie' the characters' crimes have just happened, so they were still in shock. Then each character had a re-enactment of their own crimes, which was really trying, said senior Martha Lauber.

So then they'll be ready for. Lights, cameras, action! to one longer play. The two plays, juvie and Roomers both by jerome Mc- Donough were chosen because ofthe sharp contrast between the two themes, and the fact that they were by the same author. Director Carol Svoboda said that it gives the students a chance to look at the style of theatre known as repertory. juvie is a very important work on juvenile crime, so the cast will have a Chance to do a very serious piece and then a farce such as Roomers . The play juvie is designed to give the side of thetroubled individual, stated cast member seniorjames Baylor. 'juvie' is the nickname given to a juvenile detention center, and this story is the happenings ofone nightthere.Theyare in there for shoplifting, drinking and for all other sorts of crime, said cast member senior Kyle Dyas. Neither of the plays have a real main character, said Dyas, and that's the way that it is in practice, no one acts superior. Everyone accepts each others character, and how they present it. Both plays are ensemble plays, which means that the people in the cast all have relatively equal parts. One char- acter might have more lines, but all parts are still equal, said Baylor. All ofthe hard work and frustrations of the many weeks of hard practice was pulled together and used in an all-out performance by the cast of juvie and Roomers on opening night. -Michelle Dyer Fall Play!21
