Their mission: to capture the audience with their talent using the musical 'South Pacific'. Did they complete their task? Most of the time. South Pacific is a colorful, spirited musical of World War II. Romance fills the tropical air. The main love affair is between a widowed Frenchman, who has two children, and a sparkling navy nurse. Another love is between a leiutenant and a native girl. Rodgers, Hammerstein II and Logan provided us with an illustration of the happier side of the war; with love affairs, parties and entertainment gatherings. The play was successfully put on, but sometimes it felt like an assembly line; dialogue, change sets, dialogue, song, change sets, song, dialogue etc. The actors played their roles with ease. Jill Hockin was always full of life; excellent at acting out drunkiness. Kevin Anyan played his role of Stewpot with enthusiasm. Mark Rutherford did his job well but his accent was something else. He should have kept singing all time, then you could tell it was 'l'accent de France'. In the story the best part is the musical number 'Honeybun.' The guy with the honeybuns was Scott Irvin. He kept the audience laughing with his err . . . physical appearance and movements all through the number. " The Tremeer children, Michelle and Todd, are future entertainment stars. They gave no indication of nervousness and sang their lungs but. The Pit Band directed by E. Tremeer and J. Crookshank delighted us with lively, relaxing music. When not playing, the musician looked bored and some looked as if there was a ball and chain attached to them. Act alive guys! The make-up crew coordinated by Jan Leak created masterpieces. Bloody Mary's face and teeth were great. Someone went wild on Steve Jones and gave him chocolate coated cheeks. Each actor had at least three costumes. Praise goes to Jennifer Jandron and the rest of the costume staff. The set and prop crews created lovely, ingenious scene decorations. Many props had multi-uses. The garden furniture was bright and perfect. Van Belle Florists Florists donated large tropical plants that added the perfect touch. Changing scenes was done with little care. Their blackouts were not that black. The crew could of at least wore dark clothes. In some scenes the use of the back curtain helped cover unused props which was a change, Wendy Edge's dance steps were simple but most effective. This year the drama club did not do their best. Their past performances were put together with more care and could be seen in every part of the play. But still this play was worth the money and time.
