Blame Pierce and to keep striving toward them," said Pierce. According to Pierce, "Man of La Man-cha" Man-cha" is full of contrasts. "Tucker ( Kathy ) has done an extremely good job of blending people who can portray this contrast well. We have some very good chemistry between people. It has been a challenge for us all. It just shows that to do something really worth doing lakes a lot of effort." As Aldoiua, Julie Hansen plays a common com-mon kitchen maid forced by circumstances cir-cumstances to live a life of degradation. Julie is well known on the Vernal stage. She and Blaine starred together as the King and Anna in "The King and I" lliree Til 1J i- - Julie Hansen Betty Griffin years ago. "Our roles are so completely different in 'Man of I-aMancha' that Its hard to compare them. Aldonza is nothing at all like Anna. I am finding the role of Aldon-2a Aldon-2a with her transition to Dulcinea an exciting ex-citing challenge. She is a different type of character than 1 have had a chance to play before. The many emotions she portrays por-trays have really helped me to grow. The company of 'Man of I-aMancha' has been so fun to work with, it's been a choice experience. ex-perience. Its has been a great experience working with Kathy as the director. She works so well with the cast. She knows what mood she wants to portray and is able to communicate it to us. She has been very helpful in helping us to develop our characters and has used time very well. She is a super director," said Julie. As Sancho, Don Quixote's loyal squire , and friend, Betty Griffin shines. This veteran actress has been in many productions pro-ductions in the Uintah Basin, in California, Califor-nia, Wyoming and in Logan where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She is a master at characterization characteriza-tion and has captured the humor and loyalty of Sancho extremely well. She provides the energy and humor which !teeps the show moving smoothly along. Blaine, Julie and Betty and their fellow cast members are putting the polish on their characters as they look forward to opening night April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Uintah High School auditorium.
