Steven Dallas HS to present Mame For the first time in twelve years, Dallas High School will present a musical comedy in what is hoped will mark the resurgence of the tradition of musical productions at Dallas. The students are in rehearsal for the comedy Mame, to be presented on April 6, 7, and 8 at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The production will be directed by Donald Hopkins, assisted by Audrey Ide, with Cho- ral direction by Cassie Palfey, in- strumental direction by Todd Hunter, and set construction by H. Blaine McKeown. The show evokes memories in the adult population of Angela Lansbury's memorable creation of Mame Dennis, an outspoken sophisticate who suddenly be- comes the guardian to her young nephew Patrick. The funny and heartwarming episodes are filled with memorable songs including "It'sToday," "Mame," "Bosom Bud- dies," and "My Best Girl." The stage crew is busy creating a glitzy Manhattan fable with colorful sets and costumes created by the stu- dents and theater staff. The cast includes seniors Norah Krakosky (Mame), Abby Ahmad (Vera Charles), Ashleigh Ide (Agnes Gooch), Jeff Levinson (older Patrick), and Morgan McOwen (Pegeen). Other cast members include Joe Goryl, Ethan Lewis, Tina Burakiewicz, Sarah Martin, Tally Thomas, student choreog-- rapher Jen Roman, and stage manager Chris Riley.
