Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale Each year the drama department gives four presentations, one of these is devoted exclusively to a children's audience. The Children's Plays as they were called were put on by students in Drama I classes. The students presented three playsg Memories of Mother Goose, Gilligan's Island, and The Princess and the Pea, on Saturday, February 19 . Children met Little Bo Peepg Mary, Mary quite contrary, and other Mother Goose characters in Memories of Mother Goose. The play consisted of several short scenes that were joined by Mother Goose rhymes, each rhyme led into the next scene. Gilligan's Island, was invaded by sorority girls who journeyed to the supposedly deserted island to win money. The girls discover the castaways and steal all their belongings and as usual this was all blamed on Gilligan. The Princess and the Pea, told the story of a king and queen who devised a unique test involving a pea and twenty mattresses to find a princess their son could marry. The proceeds of the plays went to T.A.O.T.A. Cast members were: Sandy Allen, Tom Athans, Russell Beck, Robby Buford, Carol Clark, Debbie Dean, Barbara Gainer, Ole Segaard Jensen, Kevin Johnson, Ramona Kooken, Mike Koperski, Diana McDonald, Libby McLean, Karen McOsker, Danna Neal, Gretchen Redwine, Sandy Ryburn, Sherrie Sanders, Deneice Skaggs, Danny Souders, Sandy Stump, Larry Thoele, and Mike Woods. 1.
