Meet Randy Gingiss By David Lias david.lias@plaintalk.net Anyone who has been a regular audience member at the annual performances of the Vermillion Community Theatre (VCT) has been greeted by a familiar face onstage. Randy Gingiss, a recently retired professor who taught at the University of South Dakota School of Law, has transformed himself from a campus lecturer to a new persona on the stage of the Vermillion High School Performing Arts Center nearly every summer the past decade. This year is no exception. Randy is taking part in the VCT’s upcoming production of “Oliver!” The show runs July 2528, with performances at 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Monday. There is a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, July 27. Ticket prices are $14 for adults, $7 for students K-12 and free for children five and under. Callie Hisek is the director, and Anthony Burbach is the music director. “I started nine years ago with ‘Guys and Dolls.’ That was the first time I think I had been on a stage since I was 14 years old,” Randy said. “I think it was probably my best part. I was Arvide Abernathy, I had a solo song, and nobody threw any rotten tomatoes at me when I was through. “It’s just been a newfound joy. It’s an awful lot of fun, it’s a nice group of people, and when the shows are over, the leads are on the floor taking the tape off the stage along with the rest of us,” he said. “There are no prima donnas, and that’s a nice atmosphere.” Tragic circumstances surrounding a student at the USD law school approximately 10 years ago led to Randy’s regular contribution to VCT musicals. “We had a student whose husband had died of cancer. She wanted to make a better world for her boys. In her second year (of law school), she comes down with cancer,” he said. When it became apparent that she wouldn’t survive the disease, the Student Bar Association at the law school held a fundraiser so that Christmas presents could be purchased for her boys. Law school faculty members’ names were placed on jars, and the jar that received the most contributions was deemed the winner. “I won, and so I sang karaoke to the student body,” Randy said. “This was a cause for which I was willing to make a fool of myself … I decided if I was ever going to be called to make a fool of myself again, I was going to take some voice lessons, which I took CHRIST OUR SAVIOR Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod: Worship Sunday 6:00 p.m., Bible Study Tuesday, 9:00 p.m., Neuharth Center, 624-5398 or 1-800-998-1234 CHURCH OF CHRIST, 102 Prosp: Sunday Worship 10:00 a.m.; Bible Study 9:00 a.m.; Bible Study 12:00 noon; Wednesday Night Classes, 7:00 p.m. Concordia Lutheran Church (LC-MS) 7 South University Street, Vermillion.

Appropriately, the solo number Randy sang in the musical as the character Arvide Abernathy also involved the character Sarah Brown, who was portrayed by Gretchen. “That year, I was Gretchen’s grandfather,” he said. “I’ve been Gretchen’s husband, father, and grandfather in different shows.” Randy’s role as law professor involved him standing before an audience of students as he gave his lectures. Appearing on stage in a musical production is much different, he said. “The stage sort of awakes your nicest Career & Tech Ed Classes O?ered for Area Students Will your son or daughter be enrolled in grades 9-12 at one of these districts - Avon, Bon Homme, Gayville-Volin or Irene-Wakonda this fall?

Every time I audition, I figure I’ll put (Laurence) Olivier to shame,” Randy said, smiling, “but you’re surrounded by nice people, and everybody is having fun.” In the past nine years, he was unable to participate in only two of the VCT’s productions – “Our Town, and “In Every Generation.” “I will keep coming back as long as I can remember lines,” Randy said.
