Students load a van and bus with scenery and begin their journey to the grade school selected that day. Upon arrival, they must erect sets, get into costume, put on their own makeup and make all necessary preparations for the show. The students then give one, two or somet imes even three performances of their hour long musical fantasy. The response from the attentive young audiences has been remarkable. After the performance, the cast may have some time to talk to the audience before they begin loading the show to take back to East campus. An additional performance of "Sing Ho For A Prince" will be given Friday, May 17, at East campus at 8 p.m. It is open to the public and tickets will be available at the door. STAFF PHOTOS BY WAYNE GAYLORD Throughout last week and continuing this week, the East Campus Drama club "touring company" has been traveling to area grade schools and presenting a taste of the magic of live theatre to youngsters from first through fourth grades. The group of twenty-three, under the direction of Miss Shirley Erdei, is performing "Sing Ho For A Prince", a musical version of "Sleeping Beauty". Performances were given last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at Valley View, Montini and Johnsburg. They will continue this week at Hilltop, Landmark and Ringwood schools. All of the work such a production entails, usually performed by several crews, is done entirely by Miss Erdei and the students. This includes moving sets and props, costumes and makeup. The company includes twenty actors and three musicians.
