Spring Hops with Brigadoon5' Spring Musical, sponsored by the Illini Union Student Activities, annually highlights Mom's Day weekend. The 1965 production featured four performances of Brigadoon at the Assembly Hall. This romantic story depicted two lost hunters who stumbled upon the magical town of Brigadoon. Stephen Wallace, James Javore and Gary Gardner alternated in the lead roles of the two hunters. J. Phillip Burwell portrayed the avenging boyfriend who threatened to put an end to the town which appeared only once every one hundred years. The cause for all his ill feelings was the beautiful damsel, Jean Mac Laren, played in tandem by Barbara Casserly and Karen Larsen. Jean's pert sister Fiona was double cast with Patricia Martin and Judith Einhorn. Including the chorus, orchestra and staff, over one hundred students were involved.
