Longtime LHS drama coach Beth Atkinson directed her last play in the LHS auditorium, Anything Goes March 3-5 and 10-12. The performances showed that the cast is dedicated to making every performance better than the one before it.
  Anything Goes is set in the 1930s on an ocean liner, the S.S. American, sailing from New York to London. Billy Crocker, played by junior Marshall Fisher, sneaks onto the ship with the help of Moonface Martin, played by sophomore Carl Snyder.
  Although the play was three hours long, and there were some slow parts, it was still enjoyable. The acting was engaging, as was the singing and dancing, and the plot was interesting. The set was well put together, with construction by students and painting by LHS art teacher, John Patterson. It was distracting, though, because of the bright white that it was painted, which was blinding when the stage lights were turned up.
   There was definitely some racism and sexual innuendoes tucked between songs, but that can be attributed to the play being set in 1930s America. Puns made by Billy, the eight angels and Moonface Martin were funny, but otherwise it was easy to miss some of the jokes because the humor was a bit dry.
  The cast and crew put a lot of work into making the play as successful as it was. Notably, junior Jada Cortese, had an hour or two to learn all the parts of one of the Chinese converts due to another cast member’s illness. The cast was great because the characters fit their personalities. Standouts included juniors Tony Murillo, who played Sir Evelyn, and Fisher, who played Billy Crocker. Their personalities fit their characters’ parts well and made them believable, which was enjoyable to watch on stage.
  With assistance from Kim Haverfield, the costumes including hair and makeup were well put together. The tap-based choreography was fun to watch and it was obvious that the actors put a lot of work into learning every step precisely.
  The best part of the play was watching the actors put their all in every single performance. Even with the somewhat dry humor and bright set, the actors still showed their skills and made the show enjoyable. With all that said, this production earn an 8/10.
