Following his stellar performance as one of the anchors of the play and intermittent narrator, Costello said of the opening curtain, “I’ve probably never been that nervous in my life.” After he and the rest of the cast were met with a thunderous standing ovation, Costello said, “I’m proud of everyone here.” There was, in fact, a distinct sense of pride running deep among everyone involved with “Rent,” as well as family members and supporters, for the production that reached beyond the scope of the average high school play,dealing with themes such as homosexual- ity and transvestitism, drug abuse, and AIDS. “It’s a powerful show,” said Christine Costello, pro- ducer, musical director and pit band director. “I’m Shawn Kelley photo Shawn Kelley photo just glad that the audience loved it as much as we do.” From left, Jonathan Costello, as Mark Cohen, Cassie Ross, as Maureen Marissa Von Bleicken plays out a scene with boyfriend Roger Davis, Zachary Bachand, who is the gender-bending spiri- Johnson, and Lauren Boltz, as Joanne Jefferson. played by Stephen Ross. tual inspiration of the play, Angel Schunard, agreed. “The audience was very responsive,” Bachand said, “and the last thing you want is a dead audience.” Backstage, an emotional Costello said she felt very fortunate to be in a school system that embraces the arts as much as Tantasqua and that, “This is probably one of the most rewarding things in 18 years of teach- ing.” The accolade was by no means strictly for the sub- ject matter though. Audience members — and some of the performers — were blown away last night by the theatrical prowess of the young cast. Cheers could be heard as Adrianne Provost showed off a vocal range that would make professionals crooners jealous as part of the Company during the song, “Seasons of Love.” Cassie Ross, who has never had a major part in a play before, stunned observers as the funny and sexy Maureen Johnson. Heather Morgan, a junior at Tantasqua, and a class- mate of Ross, said never would have expected to hear the huge voice that came out of her petite body. “I never knew she could sing like that,” Morgan Shawn Kelley photo said. “She’s pretty much amazing.” James Keizer leans over the bed of his dying lover, Angel Schunard, On the whole, Morgan said of the show, “I had no played by Zachary Bachand. clue that our theatrical talent was this great. It blew my socks off !” Laura Jette, mother of stagehand Hannah Jette, said, “It was just fantastic. It’s amazing that a high school could put together such a quality production. The talent in the school’s unbelievable. It’s awesome.” Recognizing the lesson in the production, Jette added, “Through this, I think the kids may have learned to respect other lifestyles, and open their eyes to the world around them.” Director Eric von Bleicken said after the show, “I couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s an honor working with these kids.” Watching at his actors embrace and celebrate a beautifully performed show with one another back- stage, von Bleicken said, “This is a great, happy occa- sion … I’m speechless.” Additional principal characters include Stephen Ross as Roger Davis, Marissa von Bleicken as Mimi Marquez, James Keizer as Tom Collins, Joseph Conceison as Benjamin Coffin III, and Lauren Boltz as Joanne Jefferson. Three more performances of “Rent,” will be staged: Friday,Nov.21 at 7 p.m., Saturday,Nov.22 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Another turn of events this week as I look at not one, but two cars. I had written about both at their introductions earlier this year, but had the opportunity to spend a week behind the wheel with both, so it seemed like a good time to do kind of a head-to-head comparison between the Lincoln MKS and the Hyundai Genesis. Unlike some comparisons, I’m not going to make you wait until the end to find out who wins. It’s the Hyundai Genesis. I think it’s the bet- ter car of the two. Let’s be honest, though. Both are really strong cars. The Genesis is just a better over- all vehicle. And the winner is … the Hyundai Genesis (above). The Korean manufacturer has entered On the outside, it’s a better- into the near-luxury market with a winner. The looking vehicle.
