THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Page 3
Fifth Row Center
By MARGARET EDWARDS
The curtain opens and there is the beginning of a spectacular
performance of “The King and I.” It is spectacular because of the
marvelous portrayal of all the characters to their fullest. The king
is absolutely vibrant and holds the cast together as he gives the
impression that he is actually the King and not one of the students on
stage.
Lady Thiang comes very near being the Lady Thiang that you
saw in the movie. She feels her part and this creates a most wonderful
. atmosohere throughout the audience. Her songs ring out and make each
onlooker live the part right along with her.
Mrs. Anna Leonowens, portrayed by Anne Glaske, is another part
that is played in a very convincing manner. She is a sweet person
and the audience can’t help but love her as she reasons with the King,
thus making him a more pleasing character. She has grace, poise, and
a command of the audience as she moves across the stage, speaks
^ her lines and captivates the audience with her songs.
' The children who take part in this wonderful play are sweet and
one can’t help but fall in love with each and every one of them. I can’t
help but mention the children, for they play a very vital part and are
quite charming. Even though these children are on stage, they don’t
loose their individuality as the children they are, thus making it all
the more enjoyable.
Tuptin, played by Nora Petersen, is a gentle young girl who is
K given to the king as a gift but is in love with another man. You will
feel the sadness in her heart and appreciate her as a person who is
torn between her love and bound to fulfill her obligation to the king.
Her songs are breathtaking and create a hush over the entire audience.
You will walk the steps she takes across the stage and breathe every
breath with her.
(Lr-' This play takes place in 1862 in Siam. You will take your first
^ step when Mrs. Anna Leonowens arrives in Siam to fulfill her position
as an English school teacher in the royal palace. By bringing Mrs.
Anna to Siam, the King hopes to bring what is best in the Western
•culture to his country. She is to serve in the capacity as school teacher
for the royal children by teaching them to speak English and of the
Western culture.
ft The King, throughout the whole play, is undergoing an inner-conflict
because he wants to be the supreme ruler like his father and at the
same time, he also wants to be fair, just, and democratic. Every bit
of the struggle that is going on inside him can be felt in every gesture
he makes and every word he utters.
The costumes and the scenery are well done and really help to
create the atmosphere. Without these two, the play -would not be
^ nearly as colorful. It would still be a great play and the acting would
still be superb and very worth your while but it would lack some of
the authenticity it has.
It is very hard to find words enough to describe the beauty of the
play, the good work, and excellent performance of each actor involved,
so I therefore strongly suggest that you take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and come see it for yourself. If you don’t, I feel you will have
W^issed something that you will later wish you hadn’t.
Just a reminder, opening night is November 2, at 9:00 p.m. and
„ thei’eafter it will be showing beginning at 8:15 p.m. every night Wed-
nesday through Saturday. Hope to see you there!
