Who's Who in the Cast |

| Michael Radkovich, the Scarecrow, starred in Oliver and was seen in Brigadoon and David and Lisa. Recently selected to compete in the state's drama festival, Mike's acting ability has earned him amembership in the Thespian Troup. He is also a member of the school's drama class. | |
