1981 Yearbook
Description
FLEDERMAUS
Dave Resnick is giving
his prologue to the show.
Dave portrayed the title
part of Dr. Falk — Fladermaus
FLEDERMAUS — "the Bat," is the story of the
revenge of a practical joke. Dr. Faulke, (Dave
Resnick), was abandoned after a fancy costume
ball in a bat costume in the middle of the public
square by his friend, Eisenstein, (John Ruess).
Falke sends an invitation to another masquerade to be given by the bored Prince Orlofsky,
(Mary Brown), to Eisenstein's maid, Adele,
(Kim Dryden) knowing that Eisenstein will
make a play for her. Falke also arranges that
Eisenstein's wife Rosalinda, (Carol Chouteau),
be there in disguise as a Hungarian countess to
witness his embarrassment as Adele's true
identity is revealed.
An old flame from Rosalinda's past, Alfred,
(Jim Turilli), reappears only to be mistaken for
Eisenstein who is to now due to start serving a
jail sentence. To preserve Rosalinda's "good
name" Alfred goes to jail.
After much champagne at the ball, Eisenstein
directs all his attentions to his wife, whom he
does not recognize. Rosalinda sings her way
into Eisenstein's own heart.
After the final waltz of the evening, the party breaks up and Eisenstein realizes he must go
to the jail to begin his sentence. The drunk
jailer, (Clark Rodgers), now has two Eisen
steins. The entire cast converges upon the jail
and the plot is unmasked and the final waltz
concludes.
