J. McEver, Jeff Hull, Katherine Novak Tent Theatre Scholarships, Internships Est Grants Because of new federal regulations, virtually all members of the Tent Company are required to enroll as tuition-paying students. The average enrollment for the summer is approximately S500, and student enrollment has increased over 50%. It is through the generosity of our audiences, who buy fans, t-shirts, cokes, ice cream and chances on dinners for two, that we have been able to support this tuition program in the past. Through the years, we have also had a number of patrons who have given us money for scholarships. These scholarships have been used for tuition for numerous talented students. With this summer's changes, a full-tuition scholar ship is S500; a half-scholarship, S250; and a quarter-scholarship, Sl25. Dona tions of any amount are welcome and soon add up to provide tuition for another student for the summer. For further information on this scholarship program, please call Byrne Blackwood, Managing Director, at 836-5039. Some of our patrons for this summer include: Candy Trogolo lim and Judy Reynolds Barbara Oberlander Bernie and Pam Burrier Through the years many of our patrons have contributed to Memorial Endowed Scholarships that earn interest enough for a full-tuition scholarship each year. Listed below are the Memorial Scholarships and the students receiving them this tent season: BOB COMER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP (BOX OFFICE) T.J.

Michener Director Jack Parkhurst Musical Director/ Conductor Michael Casey Choreographer Rhythm McCarthy Technical Director/Lighting Designer Steven George Scenic Designer Jeff Cole Costume Designer Cynthia Winstead Sound Designer Thomas Oster Assistant Musical Director Heather Chittenden-Luellen Director's Notes It seems particularly appropriate to revive South Pacific in this anniversary year of World War II. Just as that was fought to defeat hatred and prejudice, this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic explores these ideas on an intensely personal level. I'd like to thank the entire ensemble that created this production: actors, musicians technicians, business personnel and directors. Finally, we would like to dedicate this performance to Dr. Mike McElhaney in honor of his retirement. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
