Audiences laughed as they watched the multitude of funny scenes in Mash. However, some funny scenes were only observed by cast and crew members. Like the comic characters they played in the show, the cast members of Mash were michievious and witty in their own right. An exam- Ele of this was when one actor stuffed alloons (which were supposed to be caused a fellow actor to crack up with laughter.

Miss Geible was inside. Despite the crazy atmosphere of rehearsals, the cast did work at learning personalities for their characters. Their end goal was to convey a message to the audience. Mash is not merely a play about war. It tells about the valiant ef- forts of doctors and nurses of the 407th to find humor in their daily lives. Without this optimistic outlook on hfe, they would have been overcome by the horror of seeing young men die, and roundings. The cast, whose backstage antics equalled (maybe even topped) the onstage antics of the Mash unit, cer- tainly had no problems getting their message across. Fall Play 15
