Martin, he said. “This play involves a woman, Lady Isabell (Pattalee Ford) who soft-talked into leaving her home by one of the vilest villians (Warner Dahlberg) to ever stalk a stage ... to return once more in the last moments,” Sutherland commented. Other cast members include Steve Prescott, Jean Lloyd, Marion Wagoman, Wanda Daisa, Jesse Minkert, Harry Gooding, and Liz Minkert. “Pure As the Driven Snow,” the youth-cast play, is being directed by Jeanne Smith, with Mrs. Lee Chlemic assisting, and Lee Powell, student directing. “While ‘East Lynne’ is a drama, ‘Pure As the Driven Snow’ is a farce melodrama. It portrays the wacky activities of an oddly assorted group of characters who meet in a New England inn. The plot thickens as a terrible villian (Jon Hancock) tries his darndest to win the heroine (Susan Cart wright) only to be foiled by the hero (Richard Miller),” Suther land said. Cast members for this produc tion include Dick Taylor, Kathy Lofgren, Craig Anderson, Kay Slowey, Kim Diebel, Cora Simon, Debbie Lloyd and Becky Upham. Understudies include Kathy Lloyd, Joe Salmons, Trudie Klein, Frances Martin, Kerry Kacoby, Debbie Klein and Diane .Schu macher. “The situation of having two plays going on at one time has created several problems, two of which are scheduling rehearsals and costuming,” reported Mr. Sutherland. Costume mistresses Wanda Daisa, Jean Lloyd, Barb Bomn- skie and Jane Pretzer had to appeal to the public when they found there just were not enough costumes of the right style avail able. ' Scheduling problems arose when it was remembered that there was only one stage, but two plays to practice. Because of this productions had to take turns, with one using the stage while the other used either a smaller room or the porch. Productions will be held in the new StageCenter Theatre (Old Country Club). "East Lynne” performances will be July 4, 5, 6, 19, 20 with an 8 p.m. curtain, and July 7 and 21 wtih curtain at 3 p.m. “Pure As the Driven Snow” will come to life July 10, 11, 12, 13, 26, 27, curtain time 8 p.m., and July 28, curtain at 3 p.m. Entertainment, coordinated by David and Dianna Landmann, will highlight intermissions, Suth erland stated. Tickets can be purchased from any StageCenter members at $1. “StageCenter guarantees fun for the whole family,” summed up Sutherland.
