October 25,1995 12 Campus Extras Meet me in St. Louis promises to be a smash Play Review By Sarah White Meredith College is hosting the first performance in the triangle oiMeet Me In St. Louis, a play based on a novel written by Sally Benson. The musical has a cast of 23 actors including a chorus who sings the lyrics ofHugh Martin and Ralph Blane. All of the women artors are Meredith stu dents. Catherine Rogers, play director and theater professor, had an abundance of Meredith women try-out for the play. “I was fortunate, for 1 was able to pick the very top Meredith aaors. The supporting actors are just as strong as leading aaors. “It is a great play for Meredith be cause it has so many women in it, ” said Rogers. “The first time I saw the play was in New York in 1989.1 thought it was charming.” Meet Me In St. Louis takes place during a more simple time in history. A time where life was more cut and dry than it is now. The setting takes place in 1903 and 1904 at the World Fair in St. Louis. The play revolves around the life of the Smith family. “By the end of the play, you come to care about who the Smith family is and what happens to them,” said Rogers. Laura L. Morgan plays Ester, Lara Smith plays Rose, HizabethZ. Baldwin plays the mother, and Kimberly Debus plays Katie. Lara Smith is confident about the play. “I believe the play is coming along very nicely. Everything came together at the rehearsal last night, ” said Smith. But not only are the actors per forming nicely, the costume designer Suzette Pare, the technical direaor Bill Rogers, the choreographer Viki Atkinson, the light technician Kurt Landry and the stage director Kasey Reynolds are doing an amazing job. Catherine Rogers is impressed with the set she has to work with. “Bill has done a wonderful job with the sets. My favorite is the trolley song in scene two,” said Rogers.
