AGING p A j£ZFOf HANOe They're card sharks. They're heavy drinkers. They're into music and vio- lence. They're definitely dan- gerous. No, they're not Mafia members, drug pushers or es- capees from Alcatraz. They were the cast members of The Man Who Came To Dinner. Actors and actresses in the spring three-act play escaped the pressure of rehearsals and performances by having fun. Before the first performance on Thursday, April 24, sever- al cast members attempted dangerous feats on Marc Slanger's skateboard. They soon discovered the pain ex- ceeded the folly. Jeff Schlegel rode the wheeled monster before opening night. When he fell off, the skateboard went sailing into the audi- ence and hit Palace director Betty VanNewkirk on the leg. We tried not to laugh but I turned my back and lost it! giggled Emily Smith. Backstage during perfor- mances, the cast members got restless. Michelle Kamauff and Stephany Whorton, who appeared only in the first act, took orders and then sprinted to 7-11. Slurpees and Big Gulps piled up on the props backstage. The music of Whitney Houston quietly played from a box backstage. Cast mem- bers began to sing along with the music but the stage man- ager intervened and stopped the music performance be- hind the dramatic perfor- mance. Some unlucky soul took cards one night. A setback game started, and fifty-two cards ended up being ripped in half. Acting isn't as easy as snap- ping your fingers but back- stage at the Palace is a blast. Spring Play 9l
