‘Shenandoah’ Returns

il tiiP.fi,
SCOUTS REPRESENT BAHAMAS - Brownies In
'Troop 32 perform a dance In costumes depleting the
country of the Bahamas at Saturday’s Thinking Day
program which attracted a record crowd of parents and
Olrl Scouts. Hie Brownie troop tied with Brownie Troop
157 asflrstplace winners and will perform at the annual
meeting of Piedmont Council.
"Shenandoah," the long-running
New York musical hit of 1976-76, will
be brought back by popular demand
to the Plnevllle Dinner Theatre. This
will be a limited engagement of
three weeks only beginning March 8
through March 27th.
The show gained a Tony Award In
the spring of Its first season In New
York (It played there 18 months In
1976-76) for having the "best
libretto," of any musical during that
season. It gained this laurel for
having an unusually strong, am
bitious story that dared to be tinged
with sorrow.
In this plum, award-winning role,
Mr. Dennis (Charlie Anderson) will
be seen as a farmer living In the
much fought-over Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia during the Civil
War, who not only refuses to take
sides In that conflict but also refuses
to let his strapping sons "go out to
look for strangers to kill."
Tbe score, by Gary Geld and Peter
Udell — Is replete with some lUtlngly
jubilant songs. In one of these, five
of the farmer's sons not only sing
joyously that "Next to Lovin' I Like
Flghtln" they also perform to It a
vigorous, booted country dance.
Another of the show's zestful
songs, entitled simply "Freedom” is
partly an Infectious cake-walk,
partly a stage-stomping, rafter-
ringing hoe-down. Other songs range
from a sentimental wedding ballad
to jolly country music from a lullaby
to a hymn.
Anthony B. Doren Is directing this
emotlon-spiinkled musical. Scott
Sigler, Sean MGulrk, Charles
Bromber, Terry Klrvln and Greg
Ganakas will be seen as the farmer's
adult sons, whom he determinedly
keeps out of military service on
either side. North or South, and
Gary Todd (Robert) as his youngest
son, who Is shanghaied with
poignant results. Nora Mae Lyng
(Aiuie) will iqipear sui the wife at the
eldest son. Pam Jaye will play the
part of the daughter. All told there
will be a cast of twenty.
Don Bridges is designing a unit-set
to represent Interiors and exteriors
of the Shenandoah farm house, and
various landscapes nearby, and Cliff
Waters Is designing costumes of the
cavil War period.

When Barbara (Mrs. Clarl)
DeVane was Invited by Lyn and Pat

young proprietors suggested a
Victorian garden-type motif to
enhance the antique 1817 vintage

the epitome of good taste and
charm.
