Lc cade. om alee Gli LS 36 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 10, 1988 Nobody Loves A Dragon this weekend Well, Port Perry, this coming weekend - Saturday, May 14 - is the day - at 1:00 p.m. and again at 8:00 p.m., our DRAGON will appear one more time at the Town Hall for your watching and listening pleasure. And speaking of "listening" pleasure - one of the key (pardon the pun) ingredients to a wonder- ful musical are the musicians. For those of you who saw Dragon last November, you're in for an added treat this time, since the musicians will be an actual part of the on stage play. Award-winning set designer Leslie A. Parkes has been very busy since Dragon was selected to represent the Central Ontario Region at the provincial Fesitval in North Bay. He is designing a place for the musicians so they will be a part of the on-stage visual presentation. One of the very few citicisms made by ad- judicator Sandy Macdonald was that he wished he could have seen the musicians. Let me just say here that Les has certainly taken care of that - but I'm not going to give away any more than to tell you - it'll be a treat for the eyes. Director Chris Rollow felt very lucky to have found Music Direc- tor Deb Thompson, as well as her partner, Tricia Fewer. In an in- terview with Chris, she express- ed her awe of the talents of these ladies, particularly their ability to look at the written score and just from that be able to "hear" the music. As Chris explains, she knew right from the beginning what she didn't want - the traditional plunk- ing piano - but rather to have the instruments represent the UIERPRIS) PRODUCTS and SERVICES for the BUILDING INDUSTRY * Residential Design.
