Selah Yearbook 1991-92

"The Little Foxes" The vicious promotional poster for "The Little Foxes" raised a few eyebrows and shocked s o m e m o r e sensitive passers-by, yet it also accurately reflected the tone of the play. The poster portrayed two snarling foxes attacking each other's throats, and the play w a s full of people doing just that. Selfishness, greed and pride were attitudes displayed by most of the main characters.

Jennifer Roberts performed spectacularly as the snobbish, greedy Regina Giddens. Excellent performances were also given by the rest of the cast, including Jeffrey Cole, Jeffrey Thomas, Nathan Alexandar, Christopher Rosevelt, Jeff Riffle, Jennifer Miller, Beverly Garrett, Natasha Marstiller, and Dejohn Porsch.

O n opening night, there were a few nervous stumbles and a couple of wrinkled tuxes, but, o n the whole, the play was very professionally done.

Directed by David Allison, the chairman of Liberty's department of drama, the play w a s set at the turn of the century with excellent stage design and costumes. It w a s an exciting plot, built around a money-making scheme in which Regina and her brothers, Oscar (Jeffrey Cole) and Benjamin (Jeffrey Thomas), are involved. Regina tried to get her husband, Horace (Christopher Rosevelt), to participate because she wanted to use the profits to go to Chicago and live in high society. Horace refused, however, and the plot twists and turns its w a y to an intriguing conclusion.

Not only w a s this play good entertainment, but it also taught several important lessons. Even a m o n g Christians, the effects of greed and materialism canbe widespread. This play showed that happiness does not c o m e from m o n e y and high position, and that doingrightis more important than being wealthy.
