group tours production
Two childrens plays
produced by Theatre Arts
classes at South Huron
District High School, toured
area elementary schools last
week. Mr. Colin Lowndes
Theatre Arts 400 class gave
performances of their play,
"Go Jump in the Lake , to
students at Stephen, Hen -
sail. Zurich and Mt. Carmel
schools, Monday and Tues-
day.
"When Love Brings
Spring". a play written by
student Debbie Piercey, was
performed by Ms. Glenda
Burrell's class when they
travelled to Usbourne,
McCurdy, Huron Centennial
Grand Bend and Exeter
public schools.
Both productions received
"excellent responses" from
their audiences, according
to Burrell. The production of
"Go Jump in the Lake",
which had been rehearsing
for nearly two months,
received letters and pictures
of appreciation from
students in Zurich after the
performance there. -
The protagonist of "Go
Jump in the Lake" is a girl
named Mildred, played by
Patti Melocke and' Jackie
Bedatd who can only fight
back. when her classmates
tease her about her name.
After she runs away from
home. she meets up with two

breathe fire and a skunk
(Jody Hay) that can't smell.
At a circus, the group meet
up with some black knights
who want to slay a dragon so
that they can marry
princesses.
In this crisis, the skunk
beathes fire, the dragon
smells and Mildred most im-
portantly thinks her way out
of the situation and has the
princesses flown in and
married to the knights
without the traditional slay-
ing. The play concludes with
the dragon escaping to the
giitter of Hollywood, the
skunk on the cover of Life
Magazine and Mildred back
in school.
In "When Love Brings Sp-
ring," Sally (Debbie
Piercey), Mindy (Lisa
Miller) and Sidney (Pete
Miller ) travel to the land of
the "Meanies", where it
always snows.
Spring will come only
when the mean people are
taught to love. With the help
of a wizard (Gaynor Mullin)
and his magic potion, the
children teach the Meanies
and their leader Sarsk (Tim
Watcher) to love. Harold
Borden and Melanie Lovell
adopted music to go with the
play.
