The 1970's

Once a new high school opened across town, and Columbus High School became two, North Drama was born and became a program on the move.  Literally.  They were performing plays wherever they could:  Memorial Gym, Room 109, the cafeteria, or even East High School.   The new auditorium at East created an actual theatre space for a North show to be produced.  However, this was enemy territory.  Fortunately, a strong friendship developed between T. Joe Tower at North and Ray LeBlanc, the theatre coach at East High School.  The large North musicals were produced there until North opened its own auditorium in the next decade.   1979-1980      Anything Goes 1978-1979      Funny Girl 1977-1978      Arsenic and Old Lace, Can Can 1976-1977      The Importance of Being Earnest, The Pajama Game 1975-1976      The American Dream/The Zoo Story, How to Succeed in Business Without      Really Trying 1974-1975      Member of the Wedding, Guys and Dolls 1973-1974      The Skin of Our Teeth, Hello Dolly!, The Sandbox 1972-1973      Mame 1971-1972      My Fair Lady 1970- 1971      Finnian's Rainbow 1969-1970      Impromptu
