Hollywood, here we come! Although small, Theatrical Workshop made itself famous through its winter production of YOU CAN T TAKE IT WITH YOU. It was generally agreed that the play was entertaining as well as profes- sionally performed and staged It took a great deal of dedication and long hours of free-time practice to bring off such a quality production. Mr. Chris Schulte, moderator of the club as well as director of YCTIWY, commented that the growth in the people involved was remarkable. The theatrical workshop is an adjunct of the drama department, allowing stu- dents who are interested in theater but are not enrolled in drama classes to take part in play production from acting, sets, costumes and makeup, to stage manag- ing. Club members looked back over a year filled with hard work and the satisfaction of a job well-done. Ellie Roten remarked, It was a good year filled with happy memories, stings from the show-biz-bug, and special friends.
