Party For
Playhouse
The Parkway Playhouse,
summer theatre of the Univer
sity of North Carolina at
Greensboro, ended its trium
phant 1974 season Saturday
night.
An annual farewell party for
all participants of the Playhouse
was held Sunday at Ogle
Meadows by Mr. and Mrs. L.
Henry Read, Jr., and the
George Downings. About 80
were present.
While the weather wasn’t
good enough for sight seeing, it
was good enough for a touch
football game with “Woody”
(Lauren K. Woods) Managing
Director, as one of the Captains.
It was unusual as some of the
young ladies participated and
held their own.
A group of ten sat and sang
for two hours and others
wandered, enjoyed the beauty
of the Meadows, talked and
made plans for the future.
After dinner, “Show Time”
was announced and everyone
gathered in the large living
room. Doug Preis, who played
Dr. Henry Higgins in My Fab-
Lady did character impersona
tions. Songs and skits were
presented including a perfor
mance by Joanne Aceto who
played Eliza Doolittle in My Fab-
Lady and Larry Alford, Asso
ciate Director, winding up with
the talented and highly amusing
“twosome” Ellen and Lauren
Wood.
Songs from My Fab- Lady
were sung by all including “Get
Me To The Church On Time”
led by David Hart who played
Dr. Doolittle in My Fab- Lady
and Mrs. Read.
Cortland Raby Jr., Manag
ing Director and Royanne Raby
who ran the cafeteria for the
Playhouse contributed to the
refreshments as did The Yancey
Journal.
A note written by Eleanor
and Frank Sikorsky, Banks
Creek, reflects the thoughts of
all who attend and support the
Parkway Playhouse here in
Yancey County. Quote: “To
“Woody” and “Pete” and all
the great bunch at the Parkway
Playhouse: Thank you for a
wonderful and entertaining
summer”.
A great time was had by all
at the party and they look
forward to the 1975 season and
hope everyone will take advan
tage of the season tickets which
are only available during the
first show. Remember that
financial contributions will make
it possible for talented students
to attend the 1975 summer
training program. Make checks
payable to the Parkway Play
