Local talent presented in musical play
By JAN DANFORD
The brilliant and versatile
voice of soprano Marie Waggoner
highlighted the musical play
"Promised Valley" presented last
week by the local Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. Ms. Waggoner portrayed
the youthful Celia and the role
of her husband, Jed, was ably
sung by Brian Burgess.
"Promised Valley," a two-act
play, depicted the journey of the
Mormons as they trekked
westward in 1847. At this time
the United States was revolved in
a war with Mexico and asked the
Mormons for men to augment a
battalion commanded by Major
John Broderick, played with
realism and sincerety by Beta
Dan ford.
While the soldiers marched to
Mexico their wives and children,
parents, siblings and comrades
traveled toward Utah. Poignant
interludes of song reveal the
anguish of separation endured by
Celia and Jed Cutler. While Jed
serves with the army, Celia bears
their child.
At long last the migration
ends near the Great Salt Lake.
With many misgivings the
Mormons view the dry and arid
land, differing decidedly from
the green and fertile valley of
their dreams. The soldiers, having
marched to Mexico, return with
the non-Mormon Major by way
of California and

THE CAST OF PROMISED VALLEY fills the stage of

finale. The two-act musical brought to public attention the

Eighty-five voices swelled in
joy and sighed in despair when
the entire cast appeared on the
stage of the Shelton High School
classitorium in several scenes,
perhaps the most impressive of
which was that which showed
the sighting of crickets as they
clouded the skies to descend
upon the ready-to-harvest crops.
Suspense builds as the
stageful of adults and children
gaze above the heads of the
audience to watch the heavens

"Is it dust?"
"No! Crickets!"
Suddenly the heretofore
quiet crowd becomes a frenzy of
activity as individuals slap, swat,
brush the insects. Bodies turn
away from the invading swarm,
and adults attempt to shield the
little ones from the attack. A
chant materializes to accompany
the rhythmic contortions.
"Crickets! Crickets! Crickets!
Crickets!"
Onlookers beyond the
footlights may well have felt the
crawling sensations, the
hard-hitting blows of fast-flying
crickets, the panic produced by
the pests as they zeroed in on
the hard earned fields of grain
and plots of vegetables.
And then a silence falls
across the stage, and once again
the cast watches the sky.
Pandemonium changes to an
awed reverence as their fervent
prayers were answered. Sea gulls
materialize to devour the crickets
and the harvest is saved.
Although the play does not
define the fact, the viewer is led
to believe that the grim and
skeptical Major Broderick may
