Attention! Curtain Call Opening night. Wobbling knees, actors’ chattering teeth and sweaty palms were just a few of the reactions as the curtains opened and the play “Flowers For Algernon” was about to begin on December 4. But let’s go back in time just to see what went on before the play even began. Try-outs were a nerve- racking experience, as students be- gan audition process by taking num- bers and waiting in nervous tension until it was their turn to read lines. After many long hours of listening to readings and call-backs. Mr. Scur- ato chose the cast. Students waited impatiently on cast list day until it was posted tenth period. When the 2:33 bell rang there was a mad rush to the main bulletin board and stu- dents left with smiles or tears. If students didn’t get a part in the play, they could still be seen in their Theater Arts class. There they learned production, acting and even performed skits. With these areas learned, they could look forward to trying out for the spring musical “Fiddler On The Roof”, where once again they would have to audition. But why try-out for a part in the play? One reason according to sen- ior Chris Brandt was, “You get to meet people you didn’t know before, and when the play is over you end up becoming good friends with them.” A power-packed punch.
