Back in Time - On the Stage
 |
| cast of the Bermuda Triangle play Wheatland High School Wheatland, WY approx. 1977 or 1978 |
This was the first play I directed in the new theatre, and I remember selecting this script because it could be staged without a proscenium curtain, which wouldn't be installed for several months. The lacy screen in the set is actually the plastic rings that holds a six-pack of soda together. The rings were stapled together and spray-painted black.
Looking at this cast photo, I can remember many of the students' names and wonder where their lives have taken them and if they remember performing on the Wheatland High School stage.

This is such a weird coincidence, because the other day I said to my husband, "What ever happened to the Bermuda Triangle?" It used to be in the news just about EVERY day!

Too funny as my husband just mentioned the Bermuda Triangle the other day as well. I bet it was a lot of fun to direct the plays.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you have lots of great memories of directing the kids in the school plays. Drama wasn't my "thing", so after only directing 1 school play I was so happy that another staff member wanted to do it. Love going to plays, but I wasn't at all talented in directing those student actors.
ReplyDeleteThose students will ALWAYS remember acting in the play!!!
ReplyDeleteYour students will always remember you! WOW. You have done so many great things in your life and you continue to . Nancy you inspire me
ReplyDeleteGreat memories. I’m sure your students remember their days on stage. It’s amazing how those days remain so vivid.

What fun! I bet all those students remember you! I always wanted to be in a play, but I was a bus kid and there was no late bus to allow being part of a Drama group:)
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! I remember drama class being my one highlight in a miserable senior year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great memory! Thanks for sharing!
