PG. 8- PLAINDEALER - FRI. MAY 9, a 1969 Young members of the cast of "Little Mary Sunshine" gather at left stage for instructions from the drama advisor, Allen Lyndrup, while other students are engaged in making sets on / 1 % «? \ \ MUSICAL COMEDY BRINGS MEMORIES OF ANOTHER ERA May 15 through the 18 will see a bit of nostalgia in Mc- Henry. Those are the dates the High School Drama club and music organizations will present "Little Mary Sunshine", a musical comedy in the style of Rudoph Friml, Jerome Kern, and Victor Herbert. The musical satire presents, in a mock-heroic style, the exploits of a hearty band of forest rangers who have just marched from the Canada border searching for the renegade Kadota Indian tribe. That's very noble indeed, except there are only three Kadotas left after a long mortal struggle in the law courts of the land. The plot thickens when the young ladies from the Eastchester Finishing school come into the picture. They are looking for a quiet mountain resort, but find instead the excitement of the happy forest rangers at Little Mary Sunshine's Colorado Inn. The plot is further complicated by a dangerous secret mission, a retired opera singer who seems to be in excellent health, and a general who has quite an eye for young ladies. All of these elements are added together and boil over into a hilarious conclusion that will delight even those too young to remember the musical comedy days when men were undaunted heroes and ladies were sweet, innocent, and utterly wholesome. It goes without saying that this show harkeris back to a time when the only qualification needed to get into a military uniform on the stage was a good baritone voice, a smiling face and a pleasant manner. Cast in the roles of Little Mary and Captain Big Jim are Cheryl Elberson, sophomore, and Tom McGowan, senior. The mistake-prone Corporal Billy and naughty Nancy are portrayed by Perry Moy, senior, and Cindy Jones, sophomore. Sophomore Todd Baker is General Oscar Fairfax, retired, and his romantic interest comes in Mary Fagan, junior, playing Mme. Ernestine Von Liebedich. The show is being directed by Allen W. Lyndrup, with the music by John Leighty and Bill Toalsen. The musical will be presented at West campus in the auditorium Thursday through Sunday nights, May 15through 18. Tickets are available from cast members or can be reserved by calling 385-9761 between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. week nights until the play.
