Audience Comes Alive Imagine going to a play and when the curtain opens, you find yourself dead! This was true of Boone County’s version of Jerome McDough’s play “Limbo”. This play included the audience and placed them in a graveyard! It addressed that age- old question about the here-after. The characters were shown going about their everyday lives, when suddenly, they found themselves in a room with strangers. It was built around their efforts to ex- plain what had happened until fi- nally they realized that they were in Limbo — the area between life and death. This play was entered in North- ern Kentucky University’s one- act play competition between schools in the Kentucky High School Speech League. Directed by Mrs. Ginny Kohl, Boone Coun- ty performed well. Behind the scenes. Barb Butler and Roy Ot- tino prep managers, and Angie Wallingford, prompter, helped the play run smooth. The cast in- cluded 13 well-qualified actors and actresses. Hillary Dietz por- trayed Min, the bag lady. Denise Mills manager of a reality Com- pany, was portrayed by Melissa Weatherford. Mrs. Gail Brauning was played by Mary Coleman. Brice, a former entertainer, was played by Jeff Baker, Kara Bo- shears played Suzanne, an ambi- tious corporate wife. David Bleir portrayed Hal, a wife-motivated corporate being. Trenton, a sec- ond hand philosopher, was played by Joe Pawlak. Shad, a young criminal, was played by Richard Eldridge.
