It was the first play of the year, Sabrina Fair, and the first dram- atic production in the new auditorium. Built at a cost of nearly one million dollars, the auditorium serves as a theater for the per- forming arts departments of the school. It includes dressing rooms, costume storage, a scene shop, and an advanced light booth. Reportedly, it has the best back- stage light and sound equipment of any high school theatre in Arkansas. The auditorium provided many advantages to both student actors and student set workers. The scene shop allowed the students a place to work and a convenient storage area for tools. The dressing rooms had mirrors for make-up and were a step up from changing in storage rooms. Since the building is on campus, Mr. Bob Davenport, speech in- structor and Revelier sponsor, can take classes to the auditorium for practical experience or practice and Work at his discretion. '4Sabrina Fairv also showed 1 some minor faults in our aud- itorium. John Thiele, senior, remarked, 'tThere,s no sink in the boys, dressing room, and when w cut wood in the scene shop, the ne for an air vent is choking. Despite a slow start in pro- duction, Sabrina Fair,', was an appropriate opening for the auditorium. All new sets and flats were made, since the old ones we: destroyed at Ramsey before they could be moved. fcontinued on page 5 fa.-. X. vi! X S9 1 F 4, 'S it Could the Andrew Sister be returning?
