MC students will direct March 9-11
production of Cyrano de Bergerac
Fabulous Hero! Famous Nose! Alpha Psi Omega, the dramatics honorary
society at Manchester College, has chosen the love story Cyrano de
Bergerac for its annual production.
Edmond
Rostand’s play is about a poetic and brave young guardsman who has a
bulbous nose. Certain he could never find a woman to love him, Cyrano
uses his talents to help another man capture the heart of his wealthy
and beautiful cousin, Roxane.
Directed
by senior Steven Grubb of Goshen and junior Will Patch of Otterbein, the
student performers take the Wampler Auditorium stage at 7:30 p.m. March
9-11. Tickets at the door are $1 or a canned good for a local food
pantry. Reservations are not necessary.
“Alpha
Psi Omega always does a student-directed spring play at Manchester,”
Grubb said. “It's up to the students and their peers to make these
shows work and it's always a memorable, successful experience. The
completely student-run element gives the actors and directors a
different experience than the plays directed by professionals.”
Sophomore
David Moan of Goshen is Cyrano, senior Katie Leese of Kokomo is Roxane
and first-year student Ryan Deeter of South Bend is Christian de
Neuvillette.
The cast
is large, with 38 characters. Other actors: Fiona Mills-Groninger,
Jason Adams, Alicia Smith, Jeff Combs, Pete Dobberstein, Brian Koczan,
Eli Hersberger, Heidi Gonyea, Reaunna Murphy, Aaron Hostetler, Nicolas
Kauffman, Judith Nicci Small, Jeff Combs, Tedra Tague, Jesse Reid,
Rachel McFadden, Allyson Gonzalez, Colleen Hamilton, Breana Lindsay,
Andrew Bylsma, Kacie Gauby, Meghan Siroky, Amanda Patch, Megan Leese,
Ben Martin, Colleen Hamilton, Tabitha Hufford and Russell Holl.
