On Friday, March %, and
Saturday, March %, at 8 pm.
the curtain will rise once again
on Gaithersburg High Schools
annual "Follies." For the win
ter weary, this years show
titled Last Resort" promises
respite from the winter winds
and SHOWS. The show has its
setting at a summer resort and
centers around kind-hearted
Uncle Max, played by Bob Field,
who owns the resort. A con-
flict arises when Uncle Max
finds he has no money left be-
cause he has been too generous.
His greatest weakness is his CO.
ed niece, Deborah, played by
Judy Fancy, to whose many
college friends he gives high
paying jobs requiring only short
hours. When the kids realize
the financial situation, they put
their minds together to come up
with an idea for solving Uncle
Max's problem.
Between the rising curtain
and the final bows, several
romances bloom and songs and
dances add to the setting and
plot. Apart from the serious
romance of Deb and play
wright Romeo, played by Allan
Thompson, there is a comic love
affair between Uncle Max's
lawyer (Bill Bond and Suzanne
(Sue Waters), the nurse en-
ployed by Abigail Douglas (Sue
Christie) who Is a wealthy
matron, a hypochondriac, and a
very busy matchmaker.
Heather on the Hill, Little
Tin Box, and Food, Glorious
Food, sung by the college wait
ers are only a few of the songs
to be heard. Among the dances
are two unusual ones: II Won't
Dance" and up the Lazy
River" In which the dancers al
most never leave the comfort of
their rocking chairs. These
dancers, as you may have
guessed, are males.
Still wondering how Uncle
Max's problems turn out? Why
not come and find out for your
self and have an enjoyable eve
ming for only 81 for adults and
80 cents for children.
