Peo- ple mumbling, pacing — suddenly a hush came over the stage, the music stopped, the lights dimmed, and the curtain rose. The Admirable Crich- ton, by James M. Barrie, under the direction of Mrs. Syburg, had finally begun its run. Months of rehearsing, memorizing, and late-night studying culminated in just three perfor- mances: Friday, Saturday, and Sun- day, October 24-26, 1986. Tor many of the actors and ac- tresses, this play drew on their re- markable talents like nothing they had attempted in the past. It chal- lenged me as an actress because of the role reversal my character under- went during the play. , said junior Ta- sha Gutting (Polly). Laura Matthias (Agatha), also a junior, agreed, My character was fun because I was in- credibly stuck up, then I changed dra- matically to a savage during the is- land scene. ■ riot only was there a challenge for the people onstage, but quite a bit of effort went into running things behind the scenes as well. Bro. Chris Dreyer had a handful just creating the sets for the three act play, especially the bamboo hut for the second act. Ju- nior Mike Elgass and senior Tim Fair- wig made sure that everything was running smoothly backstage by per- formance time. All the endless hours paid off when the actors and crews came together for the performances. The emotions backstage rose to incredible highs, then dropped to tears as everyone re- alized it was truly over. As Laura Matthias exclaimed, I can ' t wait until next fall. Fall Play 13
