A Musical World Imagine taking twenty-five kids from all the different grades and cliques of Weston High School, dressing them up in what were supposed to be sixteenth century prison rags, and placing them all on stage with the hope of presenting both an enjoyable and meaningful play. This, I believe, is what resulted when Man of La Mancha was performed at Weston in late November, but this does not mean that the success of the play was assured from the beginning. Many long hours were spent by everyone involved with the play in endless practices, from the very first dry reading (or should I say monologue) to the very last dress rehearsal, and nothing seemed either enjoyable or mean¬ ingful about learning lines and songs. But soon this initial boredom was overtaken by the great feeling that maybe we could pull it off. Luckily for the members of the cast as well as the crew, there were many reasons for us to feel good about our play, whether it was our confidence in Joe Campbell, who played the part of Don Quixote with the charmingly diagonal” style and finesse that we always knew he possessed, or just the fact that in two short months the whole cast had shared so many common experiences that a very strong feeling of friendship had grown in all of us; everyone who was involved with the play in any manner walked away with fond memories as well as some new friends.
