' T here’s a first time for everything,
^ and this was the first year Ralston
had ever done a Shakespearean play.
“Midsummer Night’s Dream” was also
the only play put on solely by play
production people. But that wasn’t the
only thing Ralston tried for the first
time: this year there was a play for
freshman and sophomores only.
“Bad Day At Grimy Gulch,” the
freshman and sophomore play, showed
a typical day in an old western town. It
had the typical “good guy” and “bad
guy,” and the lady in the middle of the
two.
Though “Midsummer” was a
Shakespearean play, the audience
found it highly accessible and
entertaining. Shakespeare wrote the
play to poke fun at the wedding
customs of the mid-fifteenth century.
Florescent make-up and florescent
lights were used to give the stage a
special glow. The costumes were
designed by Laura Stodola and the
lighting design was done by Tracy
Johnson.

Inadvertently put under Puck’s spell, Demetrius (junior Rob Ek)
suprises everyone with his sudden attraction for Helena (senior
Mary Kay Gilreath)
Reassuring his wife of his affection for her. King Oberon
(senior Ron LaRosa) attempts to subdue the sensual Queen
Titania (junior Susan Magisana)
