The County Times Thursday, March 21, 2013 34 LHS to Interpret Mame By Alex Panos Staff Writer Leonardtown High School’s spring musical will bring to life the eccentric styling of Mame this weekend. The show has been a hit on Broadway both as a musical and play, and been made into a movie. Set in the early 1920s and in to the World War II era, the play revolves around Mame Dennis, an eccentric socialite, whose life is disrupted when her brother dies and she becomes responsible for her 10-year-old nephew. Instead of becoming upset by the sudden change in her situation, Mame continues to “live life to the fullest” and introduces her nephew to her lifestyle, says Technical Coordinator Guy Barbato. She teaches the boy to experience things, even once the Great Depression hits and all her money is lost. Once she loses her money, Mame attempts to find a new job – leading to disastrous, yet comical, events. Eventually, Barbato continues, Mame is rescued by a wealthy southern aristocrat with a plantation in Georgia. After sending her nephew to boarding school, marrying the aristocrat and going on a honeymoon around the world, she eventually returns home to find her Photos Courtesy of Guy Barbato Leonardtown High School is set to produce Mame, pictured here are scenes from last year’s musical. nephew has changed for the worse. She helps bring him back to his senses just in time, doing so with her trademark flair. Barbato believes people will enjoy the “mostly family event” because of its upbeat feel and Mame’s “live life to the fullest” attitude. “The music is a lot of fun,” said Barbato, noting people will be surprised to recognize some of the songs, such as “I’m a Little Christmas.” Barbato added, the songs are uplifting and will leave the audience in high spirits. Barbato noted a large pit band comprised of Leonardtown High School’s band members will be utilized for the song-heavy musical. “It’s just a fun show.” The cast has been rehearsing since early January five nights a week, and Barbato is looking forward to seeing the finished product this weekend. So many aspects are coming together, he explained, from choreographers, stage crew, band music and the cast, the kids in the play are sure to feel accomplished when their work culminates on Saturday. He concluded, “It’ll be neat to see all this come together.” The performances are set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. Saturday will feature a matinée at 2 p.m. as well. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children and seniors. To purchase advance tickets or for more information visit lhstheatre,org. alexpanos@countytimes.net
