ENCORE PRODUCTION,
'DEBBIE"
a musical about teenagers
Deborah C. Barrett, "Debbie," is a typical 15 -year-old girl, born and raised in the United States and
coming into adolescence.
Our show opens as Debbie rises on her 15th birthday. She has received a diary from her grandmother,
in which to set goals and record her feelings. Debbie refers to her diary as "Solomon," after King Solomon
in the Bible. Solomon becomes a figment of Debbie's imagination, as someone she can turn to in limes of
need. Solomon's character is that of all the goodness and morality that has been instilled in her through
her upbringing but which is suppressed by the confusion of the times and being faced with issues of
acceptance.
Solomon is Debbie's confidante and someone in which she can confide her feelings about dating,
boys, and inner struggles with peer pressure. Faced with her first date with a boy named Arnie Brazier, she
finds herself feeling out of place with her friends and out of touch with her family. She questions her
boundaries and personal growth. "How Can I Know How Far I Can Go?"
Debbie's thoughts often turn to God, questioning who He is and the role in her life that He plays. She
finds herself asking, "I Wonder If He Loves Me."
Debbie then meets Stan Ford (Stanford), who is outgoing and loves to be the center of attention. He
too is faced with the obstacles of self -growth and combatting his feelings of loneliness. He also feels the
isolation of being torn between the child he is and the adult he is becoming. "If Someone Really Cared."
Debbie now turns 16 and wants desperately to be popular and accepted by her schoolmates.
"Popularity."
Solomon and Debbie have a failing out over Debbie's judgement and lack of responsibility. Solomon
then fades away, leaving Debbie confused. Unable to turn to her older sister Jana for support, Debbie finds
c fort in her father. "An Ordinary Man." She then begins to form a stronger bond with her father as a
z.. w -found adoration grows for her father and the part he plays as her male role model.
Solomon then reappears as Debbie finds herself faced with the issue of confrontation with a new boy
who has come into her life: Charles. She's faced with an uncomfortable date and the prospect of his calling
to apologize. She turns to Solomon for the answers to her dilemma, yet solves her own questions in
"Pure and Simple No."
Intermission.
Conquering new heights, Debbie then meets Joseph Hunnington Gardener, "Joey." "Once Upon a
Star." Debbie then celebrates her 17th birthday and is now more attracted to boys. Questioning these new
feelings she writes a letter to her father asking, "Can You Do Wrong and Feel Right?"
Graduation finds Debbie faced with a new obstacle: going away with Joseph Gardener or spending the
evening with her friends and Stanford. (Reprise) "Once Up on a Star" and "If a Woman Loves a Man."
She finds herself caught between her fascination with his striking good looks, prestige, and powerful
persuasion, and that which she knows is right. Debbie rejects Joseph Gardener and then finds the answer
she's been questioning all along. "The Light Shines More Clearly.
The tables turn in her relationship with her sister Jana as the two find a friendship they never knew.
Debbie for the first time confides her true doubts and feelings to her sister, finding they both have the
same questions about the men of their dreams in "Where Are You Now?"
Stanford and Debbie's friendship flourishes. Debbie finally realizes what she was looking for was there
all along. She had overlooked the most important aspect of a successful relationship, a true friend.
Realizing her misjudgment of Joey, Debbie sees Stanford in a whole new light. Stanford then explains
his feelings and his desire to be baptized. Stanford invites Debbie and Jana to his baptism at a local
community church. "New."
As Debbie reaches the end of her diary, which is now a journal of wisdom and youth, she says
farewell to Solomon and goes off to college. "Set Saii with the Wind."
Curtain.

Pelton is stili hurt and angry, and it's
not herd to see why.
"Phone calls were made, and things
were done bxhind the scenes," Pelton said
this week. "But honestly, I still don't
understand."
In early October, Pelton, an actor and
director, applied for an opening on the
commission. He submitted a hand-
written statement of why be wanted to
serve along with a resume of his
professional and theatrical background,
which is extensive.
As it turned out, he was the only
applicant. On Oct, 20, City Clerk Alice
Reimche called Pelton and told him he'd
been selected. The City Council, she said,
would act on the appointment at its text
meeting.
Silence on second
Pelton was delighted. The job doesn't
pay anything, but it is a chance to serve,
to make a contribution.
**Within an hour, I probably told 20
people," Pelton said.
lint at the council meeting, when
Mayor Jim Pinkerton moved to appoint
Pelton. there was no second. Instead,
there was a motion to continue the
appointment. It passed 4-1, with
Pinkerton opposed. Pelton, who was at a
rehearsal and couldn't attend the
meeting, assumed he had been appointed,
an assumption that was boured when a
small news story appeared saying he was
the newest member of the commission.
"I thought it was a done deal," he said.
Instead. if was a deal that had come
undone. The next week it fell to Reimche
to call Pelton and inform bite he was Dot
'the newest member of the Ladd Arts
Commission after all. Other applicants.

Councilman Jack Siegiock said he heard front
commission members who gaged the council to hold
off appointing Pelton so other applicants could be
considered. In deference to those members, he abided
by that request.

happened.
Pinkerton maintained it's the first time a mayor'
nomination has been blind -sided.
He believes Pelton should have been appointed d
the !Inst go -round, as planned. If there were
objections to the man, they should have been yokel
long before they was, he said.
