Seniors Work but Enjoy Play Rehearsals Cast members for the senior play practiced for approx- imately six weeks before giving a matinee and an ev- ening performance, November 16 and 17. The comedy involved a rich lady whose children tried to get her committed to a mental institution so they could get control of her money. Trying to stay in character, memorizing lines, practic- ing a long time without props, missing cues, messing around backstage, putting on all that make-up, and blowing a few lines during the final performance all added up to a play that must have been hysterically funny by the way the audience was laughing.
