“The Pajama Game” opens tonight

After months of preparation, the Darlington fine arts department, with cast and crew of more than 50 students, presents opening night of “The Pajama Game” tonight, 8 p.m., at the Rome City Auditorium.
This romantic comedy explores the dangers of mixing union negotiations with workplace romance. Major roles are played by Elyse Moody, senior, as Babe Williams, Russell Evans, senior, as Sid Sorokin, Brittany Pittman, junior, as Gladys, and Paul Kountz, senior as Hines.
Sets designed by Rob Davis are usually constructed in the Zelle Drama Room, while the cast rehearses in any available room. However, this year, the Darlington Players were fortunate enough to have Ira Levy’s warehouse for set construction.
Now that the time to move the set has arrived, a moving truck has been rented, and the Darlington Players have spent two days loading and moving into the auditorium. The sets, designed by Rob Davis, take longer to construct than rehearsals for the play do. Not only do they have to meet the specific requirements for staging the play, such as the number of doors, but also they are restricted in size to the space limitations of the stage on which the play is performed.
In addition to tonight’s show, the play will be presented again on Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, students, and seniors. Tickets are available at the door.
“We could never do a play without the support of the Fine Arts Booster Club, our parents, the administration, faculty, and staff,” Linda Hom, fine arts volunteer, said.
