Shining Stars Capture Center Stage Limeiigi t Rookie end vereron ocrors combined ocr Ing rolenrs, capturing cenrer sroge, memo- rizing lines and sacrificing sleep. The lure was rhe glirrer, rhe applause, rhe laughs and rhe rhhlls of being on sroge. In rhe fall a casr of six seniors presented BAREFOOT IN THE PAP.K. Transforming rhe bond room into o cozy one room fifth story New York aparrmenr, the directors, octors and crew opened BAREFOOT on Novem- ber 14 and 15 ro o full house borh nights. For two nights, two newlyweds pacified rhe overly protective mother-in-law, Ethel Dante The attic neighbor, Victor Velosco odded to the hilarity, ond interspersed among these zany main chorocters — a supporring telephone man and a delivery boy interjecred their comments regarding the agonizing six flight climb to the oport- ment. The comedy received standing ova- tions each performance in spite of uplonned actor challenges such as o stuck door, dropped lines, and knichi fighrs. During Februory, dance and vocal work- shops began for the prospective cost of the spring musical — WEST SIDE STORY Pessimis- tic onlookers teased, You ' ll never moke Ir! It ' s too hard ' You ' ll never get the guys you need! Instead, musical auditions drew huge turn-out The directors: Louise Jones, drama, Kelley Pierce, dance; and Sue Nelson, music, constructed a cast of 40. BAREFOOT IN THE PARK Paul Drorrer Jeff McKinley Cone Drorrer Korhi York Erhel Donl s Morcio r oser-ie Vicror Velosco Todd Drown Telephone Mon Dill Smirh Delivery Doy Dill Drown Mr. Dean Roy designed and constructed the fire escape and brick walled scenery with rororing, inrerchongeoble sets. Musical practice began in March, and wearing swear pants, old f-shirts, leotards, and tights, dancers learned grueling dance sreps. Warming up before rehearsals, ocrors rronsformed rhemselves inro charocrers with either a Brooklyn or a Puerto Ricon accent. WEST SIDE opened to sold out audiences on May 6 ond closed on May 8. As o modern day version of Shokespeore ' s RO- MEO AND JULIET, WEST SIDE presenred the street conflict existing between whites and Puerro Ricons in New York and the resultant tragedy when Puerro Ricon Maria and American Tony fall in love. Wairing for cues ro enter, cost members grew nervous — Whar if I lose my ac- cenr? What if I blank out on the donee? As soon OS they rromped on srage, they forgot the what ifs and produced a show deserved of rhe standing ovations. In spire of costume problems, sore throats, pulled muscles, lost voices and a hole in the stage, the cost felt a glowing sotsifoction from do- ing o show as difficult as WEST SIDE, they hod met the tounted challenge of You ' ll never moke it ' They, indeed, hod cap- tured the limelight WEST SIDE STORY | THE JETS: ( if( Todd Drown Tony Steve Swing Action Andy Sipe Arab Dill Smith Doby John Kyle Former Snow boy Kevin Shull Dig Deal Jel McKinley Diesel Kevin Morshous Any body b Korhi York THEIR GIRLS: Velmo Michelle Fischer Grozieiio MorciQ n.osene Lynn Engle.
