It's more inter- esting to the students if they as- sume the responsibility and also receive the accolades for their ef- forts and achievements,” Hopkins said. Hopkins faith in his cast and his crews has enabled him to produce a variety of dramas and musicals in line with his philosophy that the students should be exposed to a variety of stage vehicles on the high school level if they are to be prepared for theater programs in college. His students have pro- duced such dramas as Sophocles’ “Antigone,” “The Crucible,” “The Skin of Our Teeth,” “Thurbur's Carnival,” “Spoon River Anthol- £ ogy,” and the “Miracle Worker." A( “Wedo presentations each year,” hs Hopkins explained. “We try todo a PD: musical and adrama. Last year we ir did ‘Thurber’s Carnival’ which had st some music and some dance. In hy the fall of 1990 we did a light ec comedy, ‘All Because of Agatha.’ a We try to provide a variety for the L7 audience as well as making it E worthwhile for the students. “Some years we have theater or class, other years we do not. This inl year we have no theater class but g we have a lot of the ninth grade ar students interested in drama, n{ many of them in the costume area. im We keep our costumes from year to lu year and sometimes we modify a them to suit the production,” C Hopkins said.

In his commitment to the pro- duction of Shakespeare's works, Hopkins alone in the Wyoming Valley has set a tradition of classi- cal presentations for the benefit of students and community. Dallas students have presented ‘The Taming of the Shrew,” “Twelfth Night,” “MacBeth,” “A Comedy of Errors,” ‘The Tempest” and “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” His observation of Shakespeare pro- ductions in Stratford and London has helped increase Hopkins’ commitment to bringing Shakespeare to Dallas. In addition to his work with the high school students, Hopkins is also involved outside of the school drama in College Misericordia’s “Theatre On The Green.” He also talked with Showcase Theatre about directing but he cannot because their presentations over- lap the high school drama. He also works with spring and Christmas productions at the school. But that is not all Hopkins has done over the years. He teaches six classes and has four preparations. “The variety of presentations we have presented-seven Shakespear- ean productions, Greek Tragedy, other dramatic plays as well as light comedy and musicals has sparked some of our graduates to continue in drama after high school,” Hopkins explained. “We have some graduates from last year now continuing in college. One has i Seminary has Middle School scholarships the test. However, all students are encouraged to apply for need-based financial aid. : President Packard also an- nounced the increased availability offinancial aid at the Middle School level. “This can make private edu- cation a reality for middle income families,” commented Packard. Currently there are openings at Wyoming Seminary's Lower School in grades 1, 3, 7 and 8.

This year's Shakespeare production of °‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’ prom- ises to be among the best. I hope: the community comes out to sup- port the students’ efforts as well as to enjoy this most fanciful of come- dies,” Hopkins said. Students and residents alike will have the opportunity to once again be entertained by Shakespeare's ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, Friday and Saturday, April 5 and 6, when the curtain goes up at 8 p.m. Admission is $2.00 at the door. The growth in the drama pro- gram at Dallas High School speaks well for Don Hopkins’ a quarter century of dedication to his stu- dents. This year's production should make his zbth anniversary truly silver.
