 This year’s fall play. Jabber- ■■ wock. presented on November 9 10. had a special interest to many residents of Columbus. ■■ The comedy is an autobio- graphical sketch of Columbus ■■ native James Thurber and is £ set in the capitol city. It was especially appropriate to the ■■ students since they have stud- ied Thurber in their American Literature courses and could understand his style of writ- ing. The play was chosen not ■■ only for these reasons, but also because there are a lot of opportunities for students to perform on stage in the pro- - duction. This is especially im- portant when more than 100 actors try out for a produc- tion. as was the case with Jab- — berwock. £ Jon Westguard was cast as James Thurber and Paul Wil- - kenson and Sara Johnston as his parents. Other important roles included: Rachel Harris portraying Georgiana Little- - field. Andy Reed as her father, and Mark Taylor and Brian £ Zumhagen as Thurber’s broth- ers. Jack Plotnick portrayed M Grandpa Fisher, who added many laughs to the play. Under the direction of Bron- wynn Hopton, the performers. as well as the back stage crew, made the Thespians’ perfor- mance of Jabberwock a huge success.
