Starr's Mill takes audiences to 'South Pacific'

The colorful

Bloody Mary, played by April Greenway, and the scheming sailor, Luther

Billis, played by Craig DeLorenzo, provide comic relief.

Set on two

tropical islands, the stage will be elaborately decorated with tropical

flowers, palm trees and breath taking scenery. Such memorable songs as

"Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger Than Springtime,"

"There is Nothing Like a Dame," "Bloody Mary," "Bali

Hi," "Honey Bun," and "You've Got To Be Carefully

Taught" help bring intense emotion of the powerful love story to

a climax.

This year's

show features a cast of almost 50 people, complete with a full pit orchestra.

The annual

musical at Starr's Mill High School has become a treasured community tradition

with very successful productions of "Oklahoma," "Fiddler

on the Roof," "Crazy for You," and "You're a Good

Man, Charlie Brown." The musical is a combined effort of the entire

fine arts department with over 400 students having some role in the production.

David Spearman,

drama teacher at Starr's Mill, directs the show accompanied by Dan Lane,

the school's choral director. Diana Gardner, the assistant choral director,

has choreographed the show and assisted with musical direction.

The school's

art department under Todd Little have painted the backdrops and the school

band under Tony Daniel, Steve Tyndall and Stephen Fields have provided

with pit orchestra preparation. This is one of two combined presentations

offered each year at Starr's Mill, which incorporates the entire fine

arts department.

The show is

billed as family entertainment but there is a small bit of profanity.

The box office opens at 6:15 p.m. and the doors open at 6:40 p.m. Curtain

is at 7 p.m. nightly.
