While the set was con- structed by Steve Lee, Rick Huntington, Gord Jones and Ryan Edgar, the painting was done by Taya Campbell, Katy Jay, Sara Hansen, Heather Kanabe, Julie Lamb, Lisa Para, Amber Park, Liz Saunders, Jessica Shaw, Daya Sturgess, Marta Van Camp and Jamie van Egomond, Det. wched ay, all students of Dennis Schilling's visual arts class at PPHS. Also giving the show visual impact is the wide array of bright, colourful costumes. The story tells about the arrival of an English woman, Anne Leonowens (Kyffen Gaudet) who has been summoned by the King of Siam (Dave Silvestri) to teach his chil- dren. Anna, an independent, unconventional British school teacher, and the proud and powerful but good-hearted king are at loggerheads with each other soon after her arrival. But, over time, Anna and the King come to a more mutual understand- ing of one another. While it's a dazzling cast of 49 that brings The King And | to the stage, Mr. Silvestri and Ms Gaudet are the main attraction. Both have appeared in Scugog Choral Society pro- ductions before, including Guys and Dolls and Into The Woods. Ms Gaudet, a French Immersion teacher at R. H. Cornish Public School, says the most difficult part of her role was learning to speak in a British accent. And to get accustomed to the role of the King, Mr. Silvestri had his head shaved. The hard part, he says, was getting used to the cold. Three generations of one Port Perry family star in The King And I. Gretel Cameron, who plays the part of Lady Thiang, is joined on stage by her daughter, Margie Barton (one of the many royal wives), and granddaughter, Shannon Barton (Princess Ying Yaowlak).
