This play was written in 1978,and Centreville’s setting it in the1980s. Formerly on Broadway, theshow is currently in revival in Chi-cago.

“Studs Terkel interviewed doz-ens and dozens of people all acrossthe country, doing all sorts of jobs,”said Hudson. “He wrote abouttheir lives as they helped build thiscountry, economy and society.They’re generally the unsung he-roes — the ones you never hear

It doesn’t matter how young someone is — he orshe can make a significant contribution to helpothers in the world. A group of local, high-school

students is proving that via their nonprofit organi-zation, The Hollow Trunk.

Attending Westfield, Chantilly, Fairfax and ThomasJefferson high schools, plus Robinson Secondary,members of the group banded together in 2009 andheld bake sales for seed money. Soon, they weredesigning and selling T-shirts and wristbands andattracting volunteers to help them in their charitableefforts.

“The results have been quite impressive and inspi-rational,” said group treasurer Kavita Khanna,mother of The Hollow Trunk’s chairman and CEO,Priya Khanna. “To date, they’ve donated nearly

$2,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association, over $4,000to the Red Cross’ Haitian Relief Efforts and nearly$1,000 to INOVA Fairfax Children’s Hospital.”

In addition, said Khanna, the students have raisednearly $500 for the National Suicide Prevention Life-line, donated more than 100 T-shirts to the childrenof Haiti and are sponsoring a young girl’s educationin Afghanistan.

Now, The Hollow Trunk is raising money to reno-vate an orphanage in Guatemala. Toward that end,it’s holding the Project LIFE 2K/5K Fun Run/Walk,this Sunday, April 28, at 8 a.m., near Westfield High.Cost is $25 for the 5K; $20 for the 2K.

The USATF-certified course starts at the far end ofWestfield’s parking lot near the Cub Run Rec Center.It loops around Conference Center Drive and returnson Stonecroft Boulevard to the start. Walkers arewelcome in both events; registration information isat www.thehollowtrunk.com.

Participants will receive raffle tickets for gift cardsdonated by local merchants and restaurants. Theyare: Pinkberry (frozen yogurt) in Fairfax Corner, Pac-ers Running Store in the City of Fairfax, Foster’s Grillin Centreville and Baja Fresh in Chantilly.

“I’m also impressed with thededication of the dancers,” shesaid. “They come out of here ex-hausted, but I can tell they’re hav-ing a ball. After a long, hard dayof teaching, I work with the kidsat rehearsal and always come outsmiling and singing.”

The family-friendly show is arollicking retelling of the Biblicalstory of Joseph and his coat ofmany colors. And Pike said cos-tume designers Carrie Nye andKatelyn Reimer have “truly out-done themselves to create magnifi-cent and breathtaking costumes.They developed a prototype ofeach one and almost created anassembly line of workers to pro-duce 377 costume pieces plus ac-cessories.”

Pike also praised stage managerElisabeth Bloxam, assistant stagemanagers Taylor Reese and EricaSchmidt, plus director’s assistantKerowyn Brewer for their contributions, aswell as set designers Ozzy Tirmizi and AnnieDykstra.

“They created a huge, structural pyramidfor the actors, plus two side pyramids forthe choir and 20-piece orchestra,” she said.“We’re also bringing in some of the faculty’syoung children to sing with Joseph,” saidPike. “It’s truly a community project and Ithink everyone will enjoy this high-spirited,fun-loving show. I am so proud of the workthe kids have done.”

Senior Kevin Clay plays Joseph, the fa-vorite son of Jacob. “He’s the youthful,Prodigal Son of the Old Testament,” saidClay. “The coat’s a gift from his father, andhis 11 brothers are jealous of him becauseof his favoritism. He can also interpretdreams, and he dreams of 11 sheaves ofcorn and 11 stars bowing down to him. Sohe believes his 11 brothers will one day bowdown to him in his greatness.”

Naïve, Joseph tells his dreams to hisbrothers, never suspecting they hate him.So they fake his death and sell him into sla-very to get rid of him. But when the pha-raoh learns Joseph can interpret dreams,he has Joseph do that for him. Impressed,the pharaoh makes Joseph second in com-mand in Egypt. Then when famine hitsJoseph’s homeland, his brothers go to Egypt

and beg its prince for food — not knowinghe’s Joseph.

“It’s a story of perseverance and rising outof the ashes,” said Clay. “The whole show isa cantata — all sung — and it’s great tosing songs that suit me and that I enjoy sing-ing. My favorite is ‘Close Every Door,’Joseph’s big ballad of desperation and hope-lessness when he’s been jailed. It’s beauti-ful, sincere music that stands out againstthe flashy nature of the rest of the show.”

Clay said the audience will like the com-bination of “the upbeat music, incrediblyhigh-energy dancing and colorful costumes.The fast pace is appealing, and the show’sexciting, the whole time.”

The three narrators also play major rolesin this production, and senior MichelleLerch is one of them. “We’re singing in al-most every song,” she said. “It’s really coolbecause we’ve added so many harmoniesto the show and our voices are alto, mezzoand soprano. We make the story come tolife for the audience. In the beginning, weeven come out of a storybook.”

Delighted with her part, Lerch likes howthe narrators stand out and she loves themusic, especially the “Joseph’s Coat” num-ber. “Joseph comes out in this cool,multicolor coat, and the brothers, Josephand the narrators sing about the different

colors, all at once,” she said. “It’s awesomebecause the song builds and builds, and thecostume people put together a gorgeouscoat.” She said the audience will be dazzledby all the costumes, as well as the show’scolorful lighting that’s “bright and fun.”

Another narrator, senior Sunny Vinsavich,said she and the others drive the plot. “Theshow needs strong narration, and the dy-namic between the narrators has to begood,” she said. “You also need a good bal-ance of voices; it’s demanding because wesing 70 percent of the show, but it runs likeclockwork between the three of us.”

“Because the narrators sing so many dif-ferent types of songs and have to have awide music range, there’s so much you cando with this part,” continued Vinsavich.“And at times, we break the boundaries anddraw the audience directly into the show.My favorite number is ‘Go, Go, Go, Joseph.’It starts out sad and somber because he’sjust been thrown in jail. But then everybodyin the company comes out in different col-ors during a big, disco number and urgesJoseph not to give up.” She said the showwill connect with people because “it’s abouta guy who faces challenges in life but keepsfollowing his dreams.”

Also narrating is senior Ariauna Heck.“We present the rest of the cast to the audi-

ence,” she said. “Because of thesongs’ quick rhythms, it’s hard find-ing a place to breathe, but I’m en-joying the process. It’s my first leadat Westfield, so it’s exciting.”

She especially likes the song,“Potiphar,” about Joseph as a slaveand the wife of his master, Potiphar,trying to seduce him. “I really enjoyits jazzy style and rhythms,” saidHeck. “It’s a fantastic show, and themusic, dancing and choreographyare amazing.”

There are nine, big productionnumbers, plus several smaller ones,and choreographers Colby Dezelickand Avery Hobbs are both danceveterans of Chantilly’s Encore The-atrical Arts Project. That experiencehelped them, said Hobbs, because“We have many varieties of dance inthe show and Encore does lots ofmusical-theater styles of dancing.”

Since the dance styles in this showinclude country, 1950s, 1960s,French and Bob Fosse-type jazz,

Dezelick said the toughest challenge was“trying to make each number distinctive andfiguring out what style worked best for eachsong.”

“We’ve been dancing together for a longtime and it’s been so much fun teachingeveryone the dances,” said Hobbs. “To fi-nally become choreographers of a show wasawesome.”

Dezelick’s favorite number is “One MoreAngel in Heaven,” featuring a huge hoe-down. “The dancing is quick and challeng-ing,” said Hobbs.

“But the dancers are working so hard andthey look awesome.”

“It’s such a goofy show, it makes the au-dience want to stand up and join in every-thing,” said Dezelick. “It’s funny, and every-one is having such a good time on stage,the audience can’t help but enjoy them-selves.”

“It’s really campy, and the brothers workso well together that the audience will feelthe cast’s chemistry,” added Hobbs.

Said Dezelick: “We have a huge pool oftalent — all really athletic — and they re-spected us and understood our role in theproduction.”

“And they all caught on so quickly, eventhose who’ve never been in a dance studiobefore,” said Hobbs. “We’re so excited.”

Priya has volunteered at a homefor Alzheimer’s patients since 2007and, years ago, she wanted to holda fund-raiser for them. “I gotfriends to help but, as youth, weran into so much red tape,” shesaid. “So we formed The HollowTrunk as a channel through whichwe could work to make a differ-ence in the community.”

The organization is run andmanaged by a board whose mem-bers all live in the Chantilly/Centreville area. Its name comesfrom the novel, “To Kill a Mock-ingbird.” During the story, charac-ter Boo Radley leaves gifts for thelocal children in a hollow treetrunk. So, said Priya, “We adoptedthat name because we believe thebest gifts come from unexpected places.”

LIFE stands for Leading Initiatives to Foster Edu-cation. “This is our first project under that name andour largest Hollow Trunk project, so we’re all ex-cited about it,” said Priya. “We hope to do a 5K everyyear for a different beneficiary.”

“We want to help facilitate improved educationaland recreational facilities for chil-dren across the world,” she con-tinued. “We selected Casa Guate-mala, an orphanage devoted to thenurturing, health and education ofover 250 children, as the benefi-ciary of The Hollow Trunk’s firstannual Project LIFE initiative.”The funds will help the orphanagestaff repair the classrooms and li-brary, re-paint and add lively murals to the class-rooms, and provide medical, hygiene, physical edu-cation, teaching and school supplies for the children.

“The projected cost is $3,000, so we hope to raisethat amount through the 2K/5K,” said Priya. “Andwe hope to carry out a supply drive for the class-rooms through our schools.”

She said The Hollow Trunk wanted to do a hands-on project and looked at various orphanages online.

“Guatemala is an underdeveloped country and I havea distant uncle from there who knew about CasaGuatemala,” said Priya. “It has a nonprofit base inCalifornia that will receive the money, and I hope tovisit the orphanage eventually with my uncle to seehow the work is going.”

Hoping for a good turnout for this Sunday’s run/walk, she said, “It’s a great way tostart Easter day by contributing toorphans in an underdevelopednation and supporting The HollowTrunk. And it makes people feelgood about themselves becausethey’re helping the youth of thecommunity make a difference inother people’s lives.” Those unableto participate in the event, butwishing to contribute to the

project, may make tax-deductible donations. Sendchecks payable to The Hollow Trunk to 5428Chandley Farm Circle, Centreville, VA 20120. SaidPriya: “Any amount would be greatly appreciated.”

way. This campaign began Sunday, April 17, andtargets aggressive and reckless driving, includingspeeding, texting while driving, following too closelyand failing to pay full time attention.

Motor squad officers, along with patrol officersfrom several district stations throughout the county,plus State Troopers, will be assigned specific enforce-ment duties along the parkway.

Play Celebrates Everyday Lifeters’ emotions.”Senior Kristina Rathjen is the assistant director and

also portrays a waitress named Delores. “She’s quirky,middle-aged and not the best waitress,” said Rathjen.“She’s been working at her job for 16 years and isthe star of the diner. She talks about what it’s like tobe a waitress — balancing checks and dishes — butin the end, she really likes her job.”

Rathjen enjoys her role be-cause she’s a part-time hostessat Rosemary’s Thyme Bistro, soshe’s familiar with waitresses.“It’s a challenge because Ihaven’t done many musicals,but it’s working out,” she said.“And I love playing Delores be-cause she’s so ‘out there.’”

Her favorite song is “It’s anArt,” which she sings. “The lyr-ics are funny and it has bothtango and ballet music,” saidRathjen. “And I do three typesof dancing in it.” She said theaudience will like the show’sreality. “It’s down-to-earth withtruthful statements and reallyneat elements to it,” saidRathjen. “Plus, we get to climbon 10-foot-high scaffolding,and the live orchestra is cool.It’s all coming together nicely.”

Playing ironworker MikeDillard is senior Mitchell Cole.“He’s proud of what he does, but wants people toappreciate his hard work,” said Cole. “He buildsbuildings, but no one knows he did them, so hewishes he could have the recognition for them. He’shardworking and doesn’t show his emotions, but ispassionate about his beliefs and his work.”

Cole likes his part because of Dillard’s pride andthe way he stands up for what he believes and wants.“He doesn’t let people walk all over him,” said Cole.He especially likes the song in the finale, “Somethingto Point to,” because “it sums up what the show’sabout and will leave a lasting impression on the au-dience.” Overall, he said, “They’ll like the fact thatthey get to see so many different types of characters,and there’ll be someone that everyone can relate to.”

Junior Anthony Ingargiola plays several roles, in-

cluding a migrant worker, stonemason and firefighter.“Tom the fireman is my favorite,” he said. “He usedto be a cop and switched to firefighting because helikes people. Sometimes, when he was a cop, he couldfeel the hate coming in to him.”

Describing Tom as “gruff and tough,” Ingargiolasaid he also has a sentimental side which gives thecharacter more depth. “He has a monologue and itisn’t something you expect an average fireman to be

talking about,” said Ingargiola.“It’s a challenge, but also fun, toshow all his depth in a brief pe-riod of time.”

Ingargiola likes the song, “It’sGreat to be a Newsboy,” best.“Binta Barry, who sings it, is re-ally funny, and it’s one of themore upbeat numbers in theshow,” he said. Ingargiola calledthis play is “a mix of everythingyou could get in a musical. Butit’s not like your average musi-cal — there are no main charac-ters or plotline. It’s people shar-ing their experiences and ex-pressing the stories about theirlives and jobs.”

Portraying housewife KateRushton is junior Emily Dwornik.“She’s in her mid-40s, withyoung kids,” said Rushton. “Shegives everything she has to herkids and is always thinking ofthem. In her solo, she lamentsthat people dismiss her as just a

housewife and don’t realize all the hard work shedoes.”

Rushton loves her role because “it’s really openedmy eyes and made me appreciate the work my momand all mothers do. I think it’s the greatest job be-cause you get no pay, and yet, it’s the most reward-ing because you raise strong, independent children.”

She likes the number, “I’m Just Movin’,” sung byMaryKate Goff as Babe, the grocery checker.“MaryKate puts so much energy into it, and it’s afun, upbeat song,” said Rushton. On the whole, shesaid, ‘Working, the Musical’ will help the audience“appreciate the little things in life and the work theydo. And they’ll definitely like the show’s energy. Wecare so much about it — it’s our baby.”

“She giveseverything she hasto her kids and isalways thinking ofthem. In her solo,she laments thatpeople dismiss heras just a housewifeand don’t realize allthe hard work shedoes.”

— Emily Dwornik

HAULING HAULING Generally speaking, given my less thanideal health circumstances; my tolerance, mypatience and my willingness to accommodateand/or understand alternative (not mine origi-nally) points of view, opinions and/or actionsis pretty much at an all-time low. Not that it’sa conscious decision, although I am mostlyconscious when I’m making it, it’s more that,to quote Curly Howard from The ThreeStooges: “I’m a victim of soycumstance,” andI really can’t help myself, sort of.

I imagine the feeling is similar to what sol-diers, emergency responders, medical profes-sionals, etc., experience when under stress:they focus and act on their training. However,I don’t have any training – as a terminal can-cer patient, that is. As such, I’m not exactlysure how to live my life, what’s left of it, nowthat so much of what I thought remained hasbeen remaindered. I guess what I’ve donethen, is fall back on instinct, some of which Ican control and some of which is a kind ofemotional/personality reflex-type action.Reactions just sort of happen; I care, I don’tcare; I never really know in advance until thesituation/conversation presents itself.

One recurring situation that is agitating meof late is excessive courtesy. And by excessivecourtesy, I don’t mean the simple “Please,”“Thank you” or “Excuse me,” one hopefullyencounters throughout their day. No, myproblem, my overreaction comes from cus-tomer servers expressing over-the-top grati-tude and appreciation and empathy and offersof assistance – from my bank, my cable pro-vider, my phone service, credit card issuer,even the M.V.A. Enough already! Too much ofa good thing is still too much. I don’t need allthis emotional reinforcement. I’m OK, really.Just answer my question and stop with all thehand-holding (figuratively and euphemisticallyspeaking).

Don’t get me wrong. I want to – anddeserve to – be treated like an adult, respec-tively and courteously, but this recent depth ofconcern – for lack of a better word, is toointrusive, almost. I’m not that needy. I’m notthat sensitive. I’m not that mad or distressedabout any of it until – you’re so busy caringand concerning yourself with my overall satis-faction/feeling about the exchange, that you’rewasting my time (which, returning to my origi-nal point, I may not have a lot left of), ratherthan simply and efficiently answering my ques-tion and addressing or acknowledging my con-cern. Don’t say you understand, understand!Don’t tell me how glad you are to help, help!Do your job, politely of course, but stop tryingto anticipate my angst about the process, justmove the process forward to a logical and rea-sonable conclusion. I don’t want to die waitingfor an answer – or worse, a supervisor.

If I had to guess where this overreachinglevel of courtesy/willingness to serve a cus-tomer comes from, I would blame the“politically-corrected” world in which many ofus inhabit. Not only can you not look at any-body cross-eyed (figuratively speaking), youcan barely straight-talk anybody about a myr-iad of subjects – both personal and profes-sional, without fear of reprisal or worse, a law-suit. You’re better off being safe (avoiding thesubject/discussion altogether) rather thanbeing sorry. “Sorry” will likely cost you yourjob or your reputation, and maybe even yourcash reserves.

I don’t want anybody bending over back-wards for me. I would rather they just look mein the eye and speak to me directly. I realizemy perspective may be a little skewed, but Ihope I’ve made my point. And I’m not sorry ifI haven’t, and I don’t need further assistanceand I’m not interested in whether I’ve addres-sed all your needs, and I definitely don’t wantto wait to complete an automated question-naire about the experience.

Girls Lacrosse: The Centreville girls’lacrosse team faced two tough oppo-nents over the past week, ending up witha 3-3 record for the season so far. A 10-2 loss to the Chantilly Chargers showedthe Wildcats scrambling to breakthrough Chantilly’s powerful defense.Flo Duong and Erin Sanders each scoreda goal early in the game. MaggieDulkerian and Mackenzie Johnson wereinstrumental at ground ball recoveriesthat failed to turn the game.

That was followedby the disappointing two defeats — toHerndon and T.C. Williams — going intospring break week.

The cast of Chantilly High’s “Stage Door” poses in cos-tume. The show runs April 28-30.

CHS To Open ‘Stage Door’

By Bonnie Hobbs

Centre View

When sound was firstadded to movies, it wassometimes tough for

actors to find jobs. And there was arivalry between film and stage ac-tresses about who were the “real”actors.

Chantilly High’s production of“Stage Door” is a behind-the- sceneslook at the lives of some of theseactresses in 1940s New York. It’ll beperformed Thursday, Friday, Satur-day, April 28, 29 and 30, at 7 p.m.each night. Tickets are $8 atwww.chantillyhsdrama.com and atthe door.

“The chemistry between the girlsis terrific, and they’re all doing agreat job,” said Director Ed Monk.“Besides the funny story, the audi-ence will also enjoy the costumesand set, and getting lost in a periodpiece is always a fun thing to do.”

There are lots of costumechanges, and the actresses’ hair isall done up in curves and waves. “Soin terms of hair and makeup, it’s oneof the hardest shows we’ve done ina long time,” said Monk. “But thekids are doing great and we havean especially strong group of girls— which is why I chose this show— because it has more parts forgirls.”

There’s a cast and crew of 41 and,in the play, several actresses are liv-ing in a boardinghouse. One of themis Terry, portrayed by junior AmandaMiesner. “The story’s about thestruggle between their wanting togo to Hollywood or stay on Broad-way,” said Miesner. “Hollywood wasconsidered more glamorous, butwas seen as ‘selling out.’”

Describing Terry as upbeat anddedicated to the theater, Miesnersaid, “She tries to remain true towhat she feels, although outside in-fluences are trying to push her indifferent ways. It’s really fun be-cause there’s such a large, emotional

range to her and she gets to inter-act with so many characters and gothrough so many different situa-tions.”

Miesner said the audience will likethe show’s comedy and set. “They’llsee the lobby of the boardinghouseand a spiral staircase leading up tothe actresses’ rooms,” she said. “Andthe story’s still relevant today be-cause — if you’re in movies — mostpeople have heard about you. But ifyou’re a Broadway star, most peopledon’t know your name.”

Junior Alex Johnson plays JeanMaitland, Terry’s best friend, whosells out and goes to Hollywood.“She’s not all that talented, but she’spretty, so she gets noticed more thanTerry does, although Terry’s a muchbetter actress,” said Johnson. “Butwhen she gets a screen test, she getsone for Terry, too. It’s a fun part be-cause Jean’s a typical ingenue — ashallow character using her looks toget through life.”

Johnson said the costumes andmakeup will be “awesome — trueto the 1940s era. Most of us have‘victory rolls’ — wide pin curls — inour hair, and the wrap dresses andevening gowns have cap sleeves; noshoulders are showing. And almostall of us cut our hair because theydidn’t wear it really long then.”

Playing Mrs. Orcott, who ownsthe club where the actresses singwhile waiting for acting jobs, is se-nior Tahlya Angba. “She’s very ec-centric,” said Angba. “She used to

be an actress in her day, so she’s fullof life and energy. She really caresabout the girls because they’re ac-tresses just like she was, so she’smotherly and helpful toward them.”

Angba loves playing Orcott be-cause “she’s so dramatic and over-the-top. And although she didn’tmake it big, she still thinks of herselfas an actress. She also wears loud,bright clothing, just like her personal-ity.” As for the audience, Angba said,“They’re going to really feel as if they’rein 1940s New York. They’ll also un-derstand the actors’ feelings and willrealize it’s not as easy to become anactor as they thought.”

Chloe Vasquez designed the setpieces and was in charge of the in-terior decorating. And seniorsLauren Phillips and Brad Vitale de-signed the set, itself, showing theinside of a tenement building, in-cluding the downstairs area wherepeople visit, plus doors leading tothe girls’ rooms. The most-promi-nent part is a curved staircase.

They started designing it in Feb-ruary, and construction began inMarch. The toughest part, saidVitale, was the curve of the wholeset. “If you put things end to end,there are gaps between the plat-forms and the actors could havefallen into them,” said Phillips. But,added Vitale, “Getting the exactangle to fill in the gaps was tedious.”

For him, the most enjoyable partof the job was “the building — see-ing it in progress.”
