LOVE'S LABORS LOST The clown, Costard, prepares to attack Armando, the fantastical Spaniard, while the lords and ladies look on in amusement. The Shakespearean comedy Love's Labors Lost is the 1969 three act play. Mrs. Nebel was the director of this up dated version of Shakespeare. The cast was costumed in modern clothing and the addition of rock and roll music made the version complete. Love's Labors Lost is the story of the King Of Navarre, played by Ric Smetak, and three of his lords, Berowne, loe Campbell. Dumaine, Al Scherwinski; and Longaville, Bill Tomczak, who made vows of fasting, study, and abstinence from women. Shortly after, the princess of Acquataine, played by Vicki Svehla, and her three ladies, Rosaline, Cai Hannemann; Maria, leannette Cehring; and Katherine, Martha Pritzl, visit Navarre, and the men fall in love with the ladies. The comic exploits of their foresworn relationships are heightened by the comic subplot characters. Boyet, (Brock Miller) is an aid to the ladies; Don Adriano de Armando. (Dan Stangle) is a fantastical Spaniard and Costard, (|im lohnson) a clown. The Curate, Sir Nathaniel, (Larry Brimstein), the old schoolmaster, Holofernes, (Dick Welty), and Anthony Dull, the constable, (Tom Thompson) added to the hilarity of the show. Armando's page Moth. (Dan Hoffman) and the country wench laquenetta, (Mary Fremming) also add to the comical progression. The April 25th and 26th presentations successfully demonstrated the up- dating of William Shakespeare. Lady Rosaline and the Princess of Acquataine exposed the folly of the King and his court. Dumaine sings songs of love to his lady, while Berowne, behind the bushes, makes light of the whole matter.

The King and his lords, Berowne, Dumaine and Longaville, make their appearance amid cheering crowds. Shortly after, they make vows of study and fasting, and also promise to not talk to women for three years. Sir Nathaniel delivers poetry in his unique way to the wonderment of Anthony Dull, the constable, the enjoyment of the old man, Holofernes, and the indifference of the maid, laquenetta. Vicki Svehla is made up for her performance as the Princess of Acquataine. 17
