FOR Pat Franken, Kim Koehler, Kelli Moore, Tom Martinez, Becky Clary, Shelbc Theis, Mike Goss, Cindy Campbell, and Denise Miller, meeting Mr. Sheridan Whiteside (Kevin Needham) seemed very exciting at first, but Sheridan, seated in wheelchair, was quick to change their minds. WORKING hard and having fun while you do it is what the cast experienced. Front row: K. Needham, J.G. Koehler, R. Sigrist, B. Clary, M. Goss, S. Theis, J. Simpson. Row 2: P. Franken, K.

'Disaster7 hits Wheelchair comedy rolls Act I, Scene I began on an early December morning. The curtain rose to reveal Mrs. Daisy Stanley, Becky Clary, as she opened the play by intro- ducing Sheridan White- side, played by Kevin Needham. The Man Who Came to Dinner was chosen for the all-school play. It was presented to the grade and middle schools, Thurday, November 20, to the the high school Fri- day afternoon, and to the public Friday evening. This play was a very hard one to perform, and I thought the students did very well, said Mrs. Rockey. The play was about Mr. Sheridan Whiteside, a famous radio personality, who had come to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Er- nest Stanley for dinner. Disaster struck; Sheridan broke his leg, and it start- ed the beginning of many complications in the home of the Stanleys. One main event occurred when Maggie Cutler, Mi- chele Rooney, fell in love with the newspaper re- porter Bert, J.G. Koehler. Sheridan brought in Lor- raine Sheldon, Julie Goss, who tried to break up a perfect love affair. Richard Stanley, played by Robert Sigrist, and June Stanley, Shelbe Theis, were the two chil- dren of Daisy and Ernest. First, Richard made the mistake of seeking advice from Mr. Whiteside who told him to go ahead and take off to explore the world with his camera. Sheridan messed up again by telling June to run off and elope. To add to the expected punchlines, many unex- pected happenings oc- curred during the play. John, the butler, played by Tom Martinez, acci- dentally pulled one of the doors off the set during a performance. In the final scene, Kevin Needham was given a girl's coat to wear as he departed from the Stanley house. Watching Kelli Moore give Kevin Needham his dessert during practice was very memorable, chuckled Mike Goss. Many other catastrophes were encountered during the play in the lives of the Stanleys; all caused by — The Man Who Came to Dinner. I GOING from one practice to another is sometimes very hard, but Becky I Clary and Shelbe Theis like a challenge as they try to memorize play. With 23 1 practices averaging two hours each, they were both well on their way to 1 opening night. 1 BUILDING and painting sets, gathering props, preparing the stage, and doing makeup were just some of the tasks accomplished by the stage crew.
