'Good News' is opener

By BILL SPURGEON There’s good news — and no bad news — this week for playgoers at the Enchanted Hills barn theater at the east end of Wawasee. And that’s the name of it: The Enchanted Hills company’s season-opener |his year is the early 1930 s musical comedy, "Good News," and it would take a critical critic indeed to find much the matter with it. Doing 1930 s plays in 1978 contains a certain element of risk, because as unhappy as most of us pushing into middle-age are about it, 1930 s plays are nowperiod pieces. Thus when a group of young actors and actresses such as those at Enchanted Hills can handle a play like "Good News” with ease and polish, it tells you something we’ve remarked on for several years now - these people are talented, individually and collectively. "Good News" is a "rah-rah" college story about the star football player who can’t play unless he passes a make-up exam in astronomy, a course taught by a woman professor who, when she was in college, was in love with the player’s coach (but who gave up on him because he would only think and talk football). Enchanted Hills veteran (third season* T. Doyle Leverett is wellcast as the frustated and apprehensive coach, and newcomer (from Louisville. Ky.,) Debbie Thomas is a credible Prof. Charlotte Kenyon. Handling with ease and aplomb the roles of college men and coeds of four decades ago are Rick Nesbitt of nearby Noble County as the threatened-with-flunking football hero; Scott Whiteleather, in • his second season here, the perennial guy-on-the-bench; Debbie Shively, the winningly-aggressive coed \|ho sets her sights on the benchwarmer (she's also a returnee from last season); Lynn Wintersteller, an Ohioan via Maryland who wins the heart of the football hero; Michelle McCarel, another 1977 returnee, who loses him; Larry Hunter of Fort Wayne, the football hulk who tackles the bugle player because his uniform wasn't the same color as his and that’s what the coach wanted; and Kevin D. Cost ley. who has joined Enchanted Hills as costumer this

I eragwEs J a ‘GOOD NEWS’ CONTINUES — This is the last week of the Enchanted Hills presentation of the 1932 musical “Good News.” The play will lift spirits with songs such as “Keep Your Sunnyside Up.” “You're the Cream in My Coffee,” “Varsity Drag” and many more. The presentation continues this week from June 28 to July 2 with showtimes at 8 p.m. Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 8:30, Saturday.

year and whose caricature of a beany-wearing freshman may not be believeable, but is fun. In supporting roles as additional coeds are Mary Kathleen Gordon and Lee Anne Stewart, and in a lesser supporting role is a small puppy and would-be football mascot who is carried on and off stage by Doug Stark, whose portrayal of the football team trainer —a major role — frequently elevates the comedylevel of "Good News’’ to that of near-hilarity. Stark is one of those people who can complement any kind of a cast, and steal the audience's heart without upstaging a soul on stage. Choreographer Mary K. Perkins is back again this year and that’s good news, too: the dance numbers moved well — even an all-male chorus line. Costumer Costley did his homework well, and set designer Beth Rouse and set adaptor Mark Denzler came up with a sufficient number of believable sets that worked, both when they were populated by the actors and actresses and when they were being changed between scenes (there are a total of 19 scenes!). "Football trainer’’ Stark directed the show, and like most productions in which he has a hand, it is well-paced, moving quickly and logically from start to finish with few noticable bobbles. The orchestra — small, with four instruments — is directed bySteve Bailey, Ball State graduate and North Webster music teacher, and if the reports were true that they hadn’t seen the score until less than a week before opening night, it sure didn’t show by the time of the second performance. If you like an evening of lightcomedy laughs, with the extra dividend of songs like "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "Button Up Your Overcoat," “You’re the Cream in My Coffee,’’ "Varsity Drag,” (yes. “Varsity Drag!”); “Together," "Life IsJust a Bowl of Cherries," and last but not least, "Good News,” you’ll enjoy “Good News." This reviewer would bet that you’ll leave the theater smiling and. if you can’t sing, humming. "Good News" runs this week Wednesday (tonight) through Sunday, with 8 p.m. curtain times (except Saturday, which is 8:30).
