Gamblin ' Guys Dancin ' Dolls Choreographer Debbie Roth and her daughter Ashlee read along through a script book during one of the first practices. As a stripper and a gambler, junior Lynda Grams and senior Doug Amburgey get ready for the opening night of Guys Dolls. Senior Gordon Miller gives up on fighting i Debbie Roth cake on the makeup. nd lets ... and then they took off their dresses and threw them into the audience! What ' s this? Strippers at our school? No, it ' s just the characters some played for the musical Guys Dolls. Guys Dolls was about a gambler who had been engaged to a dan- cer stripper for fourteen years and finally got married. His thoughts On marriage were ex- pressed in one line, We all have to go someday! They didn ' t actually take off all of their clothes; they merely stripped down to something a bit more comfortable. It does get quite hot under those lights!! The play this year got off a little late, but after things got going the cast was really hot! It was performed on April 24-26 and prac- tices for the play didn ' t get started until a couple of weeks before spring break. When the kids came back from their vacation on Monday, Mr. Snider was ready and work- ing them hard. T he lead roles were taken by seniors Cheryl Nicole as Miss Sarah, Gordon Miller as Nathan Detroit, and Greg Stieglitz as Sky Masterson; juniors Kym Campbell as Ad- elaide, and Stan Gerig as Benny South - street; and sophomore Matt DeLong as Nicely Nicely Johnson. The students didn ' t have much time for anything while in prep- aration for the musical. Most of the practices were held in the evening and they lasted three hours or until Mr. Snider was pleased enough to let them go home. Mr. Schlatter was in charge of most of the vocal training while Mr. Snider was the director. Debbie Roth was the choreographer and helped out wherever she was needed. She commented, With so many different areas of this musical, I felt sometimes a bit over- whelmed, but working with such an out- standing group of students proved to be rewarding. The ' Guys Dolls ' production was a great success. Reflecting on perfor- mances versus practices, she was pleased and proud to see the students and their portrayal of their characters come to life. And with about 1500 people there for all three nights, it was a success. When asked about her mistakes, junior Kym Campbell commented, I panicked and tried to cover it up as well as I could. One of the many students that went to see the play noted that the cast this year was a bit more polished than the previous year. Mr. Snider summed up the play by commenting, Cre- ating a musical production pushes anyone to the limits of their abilities — cast, crew, and director. But the - ultimate ' magic ' of theatre and rewards of seeing a story come alive through the combined work and talent of everyne working together is certainly worth it! ' Guys Dolls ' was a wonderful prod uc- tion! Amy Yoder 28 MUSICAL
