final scene of the premiere per
formance of “Dark of the Moon”
Wednesday night, a capacity audi

curtain call after another for the
cast, whose initial performance

the hearty commendation of the
audience.
Following close behind, 17-year
old, vivacious Bari Hodes, turned

es rate applause were Anne Mc
George, as the slatternly Miss Met
calf, Kieth Cockburn, as the simple,
