'Oklahoma' opens playhouse season

By BILL SPURGEON They're off to a roaring start for the 1981 season at Enchanted Hills Playhouse. “Oklahoma," the time-tested Rodgers and Kammerstein musical about life in the rural southwest around the turn of the century, opened to a full house last Wednesday, and tickets for the second and final week . beginning tonight will likely be deservedly scarce. Artistic director Jeffrey Koep and producing director Jill Stover have put together a good show, utilizing the singing, acting and dancing talents and technical ability of a number of well-picked young people. Our favorite in the cast was Donald Lee Hahn as Curly and not far behind was Myrona Lou Laws as Laurey, the winsome young lady whose attention he pursues. Darryl Maximilian Robinson was a convincing Ali Hakk'im in pursuit of either a few coins as a door-to-door peddler or a young lady's attention when he was not selling something Suzanne Freshley as Aunt Eller, Tom Lamb as Jud Fry, Randy Clinker as Will Parker and Dave Kiefer as Andrew Carnes also were well-cast as was Susan Sams as Ado Annie Carnes. The music and songs were treated tenderly when required and boisterously when appropriate, a tribute to Dr. Koep's fine-tuning; Douglas Bomberger as pianist-director of the pit

One of the cards was used the evening before at the Syracuse Branch Bank, withdrawing $25. The cards disappeared sometime after June 11.

orchestra appropriately conducted the score to compliment, not compete with, the voices on stage. The dance routines and ballet also showed polish and talent, and the simple set by Tom Miller tastefully underlined the rustic bareness of the Oklahoma countryside in which the play is set. “Oklahoma" is one of those shows where a familiar plot and comfortable music make an audience feel at home, and on opening night, with a party in the lobby afterward for season ticket holders and other patrons, it was a happy homecoming indeed last week at the barn theater east of Lake Wawasee. If “Oklahoma” is a sample of the quality of production we can expect this year at Enchanted Hills, 1981 will be a good year for local summer theatergoers. “Oklahoma” continues tonight through Sunday. Some tickets may be available. “Oliver" opens for a two-week run July 1. Koontz operating concession stand The Syracuse Concession Stand, located on the edge of the Syracuse Public Park and Beach property, W. E. Long Drive, now offers more products for sale than before. Available items include: Dairy Queen products such as Dilly Bars, ice cream sandwiches and flavored sundae cups; Pepsi oroducts; a variety of candy bars; Seifert’s snack items such as potato chips; cigarettes; and sun care products PJ's Pizza, from the Wawasee Village will also have some of their submarine sandwich line foods available. “We’re trying to get an ice machine for there, so bagged ice is available,” explained concession stand manager Harry Koontz. The idea for a varied concession stand began when Syracuse Park Board member Kip Schumm asked if the DairyQueen was interested in servicing the Syracuse community at the stand, according to Koontz.
