Woodrow Wilson

In October 1979, the
Woodrow Wilson Drama
Club began making plans for
its production of PIPPIN.
Since more than two hun­
dred students auditioned for
parts in the play, the direc­
tors decided to double-cast
in order to utilize most of the
students who wanted to be in
the production.
The show, which took
almost four months to
produce, became the all-time
box office champion here at
Wilson. The sell-out crowds
were dazzled by the talented
performers, the beautiful
sets, the colorful costumes,
and, of course, the great
musical score.

Mr. Voipe and Ms. Saidman,

Hutchinson and Mrs. Hilden-
brand made an invaluable
contribution to the success
of the show by contributing
their musical talents by
playing the piano and the
organ respectively in the Pit
Band. Special thanks are in
order, too, for the work done
by Mr. Kervitsky, the stage
manager, and his technical
crew. Mrs. Jaffe, Mr. Har-
tung, Mr. Martin, and Mr.
Fogarty also helped to make
the play a reality by assisting
in many ways with the many
chores that had to be taken
care of to stage the play.
