Rehearsals went smoothly once they adjusted to dealing with an adult performance." The set for the "Sound of Music" was the largest used in years in a Harding production. Hindered somewhat by the presence of the "Rainmaker" set on the Ad Building stage until November 22, the set crew for the musical worked until the day of the first performance to complete the construction. "The biggest pressure on the whole show, " commented one cast member, "was trying to live up to the movie, which was of course impossible. Film and stage are two different media, and the story could not be handled in the same way in both. After we got into rehearsals the show took on its own personality, and we forgot about the film and began to interpret each scene in our own way. I believe that after the first few minutes, the audience began to enjoy the show without thinking so much of the movie, also ." Of director Charles Parker, assistant professor of speech, one cast member said, "Those who had never worked under Mr. Parker learned what it is like to be really dedicated - and what kind of work it takes to make a quality production. At the start of every show Mr. Parker directs, he dedicates it to the lord's glory. That sets the highest possible standards for himself, the cast and crew. The whole thing was a real learning experience, with everyone doing his best. II ~ 1.
