Discussing Charlie ' s condition Pro- fessor riemur an d Beth make un- sure conclusions of what exactly will happen to Charlie and Algernon in the future. Explaining the technicalities of surgery to Alice is one of the many jobs that Dr. Strauss has to do. Senior JefTCrabill played the doctor in the play Flowers for Algernon. Charlie (Dan Zimmerman) smirks at his own brilliance after making a narrow escape for Algernon at the convention while Professor Memur (Mike Qanaway) angrily knows of Charlie s plans to hide the mouse in the play Flowers for Algernon. Flowers for Algernon re-enacted During the spring, the drama department chose to reenact a play that they staged several cars ago. As it read on the back of the program. Flow- ers for Algernon is a very special drama. Even though the play has been presented before, this was the first year that an in-school perform- ance was allowed. The money that was raised dur- ing the school performance will go to back a musical in the fall or the spring of next year. The story line for Flowers for Algernon was rather sim- ple to follow and easy to get into. In the beginning of the play, Charlie Gordon, por- trayed by Dan Zimmerman, is used as part of an experi- ment to increase intelligence through an operation and the use of learning aids. During his learning time, Charlie is visited by his old teacher, played by Kim Wis- dom. Charlie learns many things through his lessons, but his emotions still remain on his previous level, leaving him unable to sustain a romantic relationship with his teacher. Charlie continues to learn and is brought up against a mouse who has had an oper- ation identical to Charlie s. At first, Charlie dispises Al- gernon, but goes on to be- come the closest of friends. Because of his increased intelligence, Charlie is kick- ed out of his menial bakery job for being too smart, and after this, Charlie begins to remember his terrible child- hood. Once Charlie reaches the top of his world, things begin to go wrong. Alger- non s brain reverts to the past state with Charlie di- rectly behind him. After Al- gernon dies dies, Charlie loses his intelligence and is sent back to the state home. During Flowers for Alger- non, the entire cast shows the audience the cruelties that human beings inflict upon one another as well as the joys and happiness that they can share if they try. The audience was able to follow Charlie through his pains and even shed a tear of sorrow for him at the end. Zimmerman did an excel- lent job taking Charlie to and through his date with destiny. He put on a strong performance, drawing the audience in with his changes in voice and intelligence. With the last curtain came the close of Zimmerman s acting career at Wayne. Four other senior actors (Jeff Crabill, Mike Qanaway, Jackie Miller and Kim Wis- dom) drew greatly on emo- tions during flowers for Al- gernon. They all kept the audience alive with their fighting, screaming, and tears. We all enjoyed the moving drama, and some of Wayne s all time best theatre people bid their farewell to Wayne s stage.
