(From an Extrav. rehearsal.)

Cyril Bustin is this year's stage manager. Although this is his first "extravaganza" his experience will ensure that few "snags" will arise during each performance. Cyril has had varied theatre experience in Auckland and Wellington. Among the long list of shows with which he has been associated are: "The Vagabond King," "One For the Road," "Babes in the Wood," "The Pied Piper," Fifty-seven Varieties," "High Spirits," "Quiet Weekend," "White Sheep of the Family," and "The Moon Is Blue." This year he is also stage-managing "Kiss Me Kate" for the Wellington Operatic Society.

Jeff Stewart is this year's choreographer. For the last few years he has been in Canada working in "Theatre Under the Stars" in. Vancouver. While there he worked with such stars as Robert Ronas ville, Mary La Roche and Sally Forrest. Many ideas for Extrav ganza's musical numbers are a result of study with Ada Broadbent the American choreographer. Jeff has appeared on TV and in night clubs and has the practical ability necessary for a successful staging of a show such as Extravaganza.

Peter Coates will be best remembered as Dad Brown in "Vat '59." This year he is back-stage as a set designer. Peter is a school teacher with a flair for art. During the summer he participated in a school for set-designers conducted by Raymond Boyce.
