This was the second effort of the two who directed Honk! last year. Hartman started helping with choreography the previous year on Willy Wonka. The year before that was Seussical which was hit by a weekend snowstorm.
Sunday’s performance was the last of a grueling four days on stage, beginning with a show for students on Thursday and the evening performances on Friday and Saturday.
This plus countless hours of practice and coordinating the acting of more than 50 students made it a daunting test which they finished handily–at least as far as the audience was concerned. This year’s play may be the best-attended ever.
But when the play and thank you remarks were finished, Hazell said: “OK. That’s it. I’ve got papers to grade.”
“Into the Woods” was a great experience for students. The abundance of fairytale characters provided starring roles for many.
Their acting provided an enthralling time for youngsters who sat on the floor right up front on either side of the main aisle. Among them probably were one or two who will be starring in their own St. Paul Drama Club play–not too long from now.
