Drama troupe delights audiences in tali production with fast tempo, colorful costumes, elaborate stage The 1971-72 drama season was opened with William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew opening on the evening of November 19 and 20 under the direction of Mr. T. M. Hissam and students Mike Mahaney and Shirley Mautz. Auditions were open to all three grade levels with scores of students sharing the roles and 100 others manning the various committees. The first act of the play revealed that Kate (the shrew) could never be wed because of her temper, but her father Baptista arranged for her to wed Petruchio. The rest of the play presented Petruchio's trials and tribulations. The two leads were shared by four students: Dana McKean and Rick Heaton played Petruchio while Kate was played by Amylou Pyle and Debbie Vaughn on respective Friday and Saturday nights. In addition to the two evening presentations, an afternoon matinee allowed students from the three jun- ior high schools to see the program.
