bottom.
The major characters include the

Queen Aggravian by Lynn Todd,
Prince Dauntless by Jim O’Connell,
and Princess Winnifred by Sue
Niskey. Other important characters
are played by Juan Fernandez, Pau-
lette Niznik, Amanda Faut, and
Tom Krupa.

the direction of Donald Hopkins and
Florence Sherwood. It will be
presented in the Dallas Senior High
Auditorium at 8:00 p.m. Tickets will
cost $1.00 per student and $1.50 per
