Moppet Players Present Mitchell's drama department set a precedent this year by presenting a chiIdren's theater production, The Land of the Dragon by Madge Miller. The Mop- pet Players, composed of students from Mitchell and the area junior high and grade schools, were directed by Mr. George Raabe. Oriental styling characterized the Chinese fantasy. A stage manager was the narrator, and the simple scenery was placed on stage by a property man. Following a basic Cinderella-like theme, The Land of the Dragon featured Jade Pure and Road Wand- erer as the heroine and hero. There was also a villain, Covet Spring, and a villainess, Precious Harp. Mr. Raabe described the play as a school and community endeavor. Mitchell students gained exper- ience in children's theater, and children of the com- munity were given the opportunity to perform. Linda Libasci and Vicki Bryan were the assistant directors. The stage and property crews, headed by Mark Ewell and Cindy Martin, worked together on the simple stage decorations common to the Chinese theater. Debbie Rogers and Heather Dalgleish led the costume and makeup crews that, with assistance from the mothers of the children, transformed the seventy- five cast members into Chinese. Supervising the light crew was Dave Thompson, aided by Mike Chisman. Carl Hostetler was the sound technician. Julie Hawkins handled publicity and all Drama I and Drama ll students assisted on the var- ious crews.
