Forsan one-act cast to present 'Our Hearts' on stage tonight

By LYNDEL MOODY Staff Writer

The Forsan High School one-act cast will present a public performance of its contest play "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," at 7 p.m. today.

Set in 1923 aboard a cruise ship, the play revolves around two 19-year-old girls Cornelia Skinner and Emily Kimbrogh played by Keisha Christen and Rachel Clinton who are heading to Europe.

"They get into some crazy situations," said Director Jim Rhodes. "They meet a number of mad-cap characters."

Rounding out the main cast are Skinner's parents, played by Abby Janca and Jonathan Moore.

"I wanted to produce a comedy this year," Rhodes said. "I felt we had the cast to do this, and I like period pieces."

The curtain rises for the 40-minute play at 7:30 tonight in the Forsan High School Auditorium.

Supporting cast members are Matt Posey, Jonathan Gomez, Cory Reyna, Tim Ballard, Crystal McNew, Ruth Kaelin and Kyle Briggs.

Crew members are Candis Snowden, Casi Graves, AaRika Thixton and Levi Johnson. Jeremy Higginbotham serves as the assistant director.

The one-act cast will take the performance to University Interscholastic League contest Saturday at Crane High School. Also competing will be Coahoma, Seagraves, Colorado City, Stanton and Crane high schools.
