Laurie Killoch CLiatj and Dave Esdale fLt. Cablej sing Younger than Springtimei' as they stroll on Bloody Mary's island. South Pooz' io Time: World War Two 5 Place: a group of tropical islands. This is the Set- ting of Rodgers, and Hammersteinas immortal musical South Pacific. On March 29 and 30, 1963, this play was presented by the Westbury High School Thes- pians. Those who had a hand in theproduction deserve the highest praise. Direc- tor Miss Jeanne Sadlow did an excellent job of casting and working with the actors, as did student directors Linda Katz and Marjorie Cohen. All of the beautiful art work was created under the supervision of Mr. Robert Heist. A group of skillful seamstresses, guided by Miss Eva Bronner, designed the cos- tumes. The musical accompaniment was provided by the Westbury High School Band, under the direction of Mr. William Kupferberg. Basically, the story is one of romance-between Emile de Becque, a French planter, and Nellie Forbush, an American nurse, and between Marine Lieutenant Joseph Cable and Liat, a native girl. Other important characters include Bloody Mary fLiat,s motherl and Luther Billis fa Seabeel. Westbury Highls production of South Pacigc was a rewarding and interest- ing experience for both those behind the footlights and those in the audience.
