arts______________ Actors come to life in Christie’s ‘Death’ By Kristi Blackman Of The Print Agatha Christie’s play “Appointment With Death” presented by the Theater Dept, at the College was one of those “whodunnit” mysteries that makes the audience try to out- think the murderer (s). Veteran actor Neil Hass (Dr. Gerard) brought a realism to his character. The strength of his performance was an asset to the stage. He makes the art of acting look so easy, a very talented man indeed. Patrick Sterling who por trayed Raymond Boynton, a devoted and dependent ‘mama’s boy’ also did well. Every line and action that came from this man made me think that acting is second nature to this guy. Sterling has an ap titude for this art and if he is to pursue his talent further, look out Broadway.

Her character played well against Rod Ragsdale (Aiderman Higgs), another Englishman who’s cockney accent and character wasn’t afraid to give the fair lady a bad time with witty reparte. Ragsdale’s character was so believable you can only wonder if the beer he’s drinking in one gulp is as warm as only a true Englishman would drink. Mrs. Boynton, played by Carol Kyle, was the center of attention, and the plot as well. Kyle is a newcomer to the theatrical department and to acting. In the beginning of the play, her character was very forceful but she seemed to be a bit nervous, caused perhaps by jitters. Her jitters wore off soon ■ case, Starting g c $2.49.

Another veteran of theater, Victor Toman had the “Dragoman” down to a “T!” Toman’s ambitious perfor mance was so creative it was exciting to watch. His en thusiasm as the “Dragoman” will be one that will be remembered by the audience. He livened up a character that could have been very dull. Newcomer 12-year-old John Schnell, who played the obedient “Arab Boy” was very good for his first production performance. I hope the ex perience he has had working with some of the best actors the College theater has produced will only encourage him to fur ther explore the many roles that lie ahead. Lynn Meyers who por trayed Dr. Sarah King was the right one for the role, she treated the character with a strong personality anda feminine touch. Nadine Boynton, played by Maureen Rust, could have had a little more facial expres sions, at times the lines looked as though the words were just flowing from her mouth and there was no meaning behind them. Kristin Black (Ginevra Boynton) first looked to me as though she resembled actress Tatum O’Neil and her facial ex pressions and deliveries of her lines (even though they were very much her own) resembled that of the professional. Black portrayed a nervous girl who was suffering from severe men tal anguish, she was excellent, and will be someone to watch for. stage performance shows a great deal of acting ability. Even for a small part I think The Hotel Clerk, F. T. Morris, was very good. You could see the sickly sweet niceness that the desk clerks in big hotels have, and how peo ple who work with the public must always satisfy the customer. The Costumes for this pro duction were so appropriate, and the baggy high watered field pants worn by Dianna Hardy (Miss Pryce) fit the per sonality of the character as well as for the rest of the cast. A stroke of genius by Costume designer Stephanie Feldman. Also, the set is worth going and seeing. Jefferson Cope, played by Joe Schenck, wears the three piece suit beautifully, and it seems as though he played the naive young gentleman with an extreme amount of knowlege towards his character. His research for this part was well done. Russel McMillen (Lennox Boynton) left an impression that his character was very wishy-washy. Maybe it was due to his delivery of the lines, but made for a non-outstanding performance. , Pehaps you could say Etta Leonard was a natural for her part as the Italian Girl who didn’t say very much. But her As the British would say; “Good Show!” College offers classes with twang By Brett Bigham Of The Print If you’re interested in play ing country music, Clackamas Community College is offering the class for you.
