Sirens mark sprin opening Lights were flashing and si- rens were screaming. Pa- tients did not have to look far for help. The cast of The spring play was prepared to handle any emergency with its hit comedy, Emergency Room. The set imitated a true emergency room at a hos- pital, since the crew sup- plied props and equipment that actually came straight from a hospital. Ingalls Memorial Hospital was a great contributor to the play. They supplied beds and other necessary equip- ment that were found in a regular emergency room, stated Mr. Rob Nerius, direc- tor. Even the costumes were authentic. Stacy Brown, who played The part of Nurse Thor, obtained some of the hospital's uniforms from her mother who worked at Ingalls. Dan Bron- son, who played Doctor Shienfeld, said, Wearing a doctor's uniform really helped me to become my role as a doctor. The play itself was about a Chicago hospital emer- gency room on a busy Sat- urday night. People who were brought into the hospi- tal ranged from fast-talking city slickers To punk rockers. They were all greeted, nonetheless, by an air- headed receptionist who would rather do her nails than tend to the needs of the patients. The receptionist was a good role because Maria got to introduce all of the characters and interact with them, stated Kris Lov- ell, senior, who played Ma- rua. The play was a challenge since there was a cast of 32 people, and a normal size cast has about 7. Also, the play was finished with only two weeks of rehearsal, so each rehearsal was very in- tense. ER's practices were different from any of the other practices l've ever been in because ofthe tight time schedule. We also had many who had never per- formed before in a play, stated Julie Nelson, cast member. ER incorporated strange events and circumstances, but the end result was both chaotic and humorous. ala f s'f.s .
