The High School Advanced Actors
presented
Mercifully, Much Ado About Nothing, ends happily so that we have a romantic
comedy rather than a moral comedy. No fewer than nine of its seventeen
scenes
deal with overhearing, eavesdropping, or out-and-out spying! Eleven scenes
deal with falsehoods hiding truth behind masks, fiction plots, or emotional
facades. What a mess of misfortune! We've enjoyed putting it together
for you.
On another note, I need to acknowledge the efforts of a terrific theater
department that has pulled together in our times of misfortune. I
want to applaud the
extra efforts of Rob Gutowski and David Chapman to create the glorious
Spanish hacienda. In the back room Ruba Mounajed and Lynda Halabi
have taken on the
task of costuming the actors. The teamwork for this show was exceptional.
Many thanks to you all!
