'Brigadoon' enchants in community theater setting
By HEIDI BEELER
Collegian Staff Writer
It seems “community” is the key word in State College
Community Theater. One look at their production of
“Brigadoon,” and it was difficult to tell where the local
community members stopped and the townspeople of
Brigadoon began.
There was a closeness between the plaid-kilted and
mobcapped chorus and the audience of friends, relatives,
and neighbors that surrounded them on four sides in the
arena : style Boal Barn Theater. And that closeness helped
to pull together a variety of talent-levels into an enjoyable
show
Written by Alan Jay Lerner with music by Frederick
Loewe, the play centers around a miracle enchanting the
village of Brigadoon. To save the village from a band of
witches, the town was made to vanish only to reappear
one day every one hundred years. That was in 1747.
Now it is 1947, two Brigadoon-days later. While on
vacation hunting in Scotland, Tommy Albright (David
Hughes) and his companion Jeff Douglas (Mark Srock)
get lost in a forest and stumble across the village. Before
Tommy can learn the secret of the town’s enchantment, he
falls in love with villager Fiona MacLaren (Elizabeth
DeMark) and must decide between her and the world he
knows.

David Hughes did an excellent job acting and singing in
the role of Tommy Albright. His sincere belief in the
character’s struggle to find true love kept this classic
lover’s role from becoming cliche. And his voice was
strong and clear, singing such songs as “Almost Like
Being in Love” and “There But for You Go I.”
Although less-professional, than Hughes, Mark Srock’s
portrayal of the cynnical Jeff Douglas was successful. The
character’s witticisms (such as, “Witches? Yes, we still
have them, but we pronounce it differently.”) kept the
play from falling into a romantic mire. Although he made
a good-pessimist, Srock’s acting itself was for the most
part one-leveled and rather mopey. He also made a
terrible drunk on stage, but the role stands up to that. And
his casually embarassed attitude when he appeared with a
kilt over his long-johns (pants missing) was wonderful.
Elizabeth DeMark, who played the idealistic Fiona, had
a beautiful and powerful voice that rang through such
songs as “Waitin’ For My Dearie” and “The Heather On
the Hill.” It isn’t surprising, though, that she is a voice
major because her acting was not nearly as strong as her
voice. Often she spoke lines and performed actions be
cause she had been directed to, rather than because of any
need from within the character. For example, at the end of
the number “The Heather .. ~” she pulled away from
kissing Tommy with a calm smile, rather than out of any
embarassment or uncertainty.
Keep Happy Valley beautiful. Don’t litter.
Elizabeth Ritter played the bawdy Meg Brockie, who
tried to seduce Jeff but only managed to get his pants.
Ritter’s performance, like Hughes’, was another well
balanced one. Her voice was strong, singing “The Love of
My Life,” and her acting well-motivated, as she goes to
any length to catch a husband, although she could have
exaggerated Meg’s bawdiness a little more.
Michael Huckabee belted out a great “I’ll Go Home with
Bonnie Jean.” Lindsey Wood showed a lot of poise as his
shy bride-to-be. And the genuine jealousy and hatred in
Scott Neuhard’s portrayal of the over-looked Harry Bea
ton were fearsome to watch
Although some individual chorus members had difficul
ties projecting, the chorus as a whole had a lovely over-all
blend. (Imagine Walt Disney background music.) While
the band wasn’t always in tune, the variety of instruments
made the sound combinations both interesting and flexi
ble. And the musicians accomplished this without over
powering the singers. The chorus and the pit (loft?) band
did have some difficulties keeping together, though a
problem that undoubtedly comes from the band being
boarded up in the rafters without being able to see well.
The dances, choreographed by K.T. Huckabee, were
lively, although a little dragged-out toward the end.
Director Vance G. Ormes did a good job to keep the action
facing all of the audience. And while Tony Marinakos’ set
design wasn’t striking, the simple platform and use of
