LIVE! FROM WABASH! IT ' S SATURDAY NIGHT! HEART LIKE A WHEEL. Swashb nee upon a time in a ninety- minute satirical galaxy one thou- sand miles away, there lived a chubby Samuri Tailor who rip- ped seams out of shirts with a swipe of the sword, a foreign grill cook who was a whiz at serving up cheeseburgers and Pepsi (no Coke — cherry, classic, or otherwise), and a dutchy, Angela Davis afro- wearing little rascal named Buh- weet. The fate of Saturday Night Live may be uncertain due to cur- rent Nielson ratings, but here at WHS our own not-ready-for-prime- time players drew rave reviews from hometown critics. In November audiences were treated to a laughable parody on the classic fairy-tale — The Clumsy Custard Horror Show. The cast, dressed in medieval costumes, in- cluded a beautiful, spoiled princess (Michelle Hall], a dashing young prince with deadly fast feet (Mark Mattern). an evil villain (Chris Mer- nitz) with a dastardly plan to kidnap the princess, a lovable, dim-witted king (Al Plummer), and of course, the Clumsy Custard, squishy pet of the evil Dacron. Clumsy Custard evoked both planned laughter (through one line zingers such as, I feel like two thousand grasshoppers are doing a square dance in my underwear! and I am a Royal Knight and Prince Proper of Valthusia. Conquerer of the Alamites, the Balamites, the Cala mites, the Fungus people, and Ralph Epstein, who I punched out in the eighth grade for hiding my athletic supporter. ) as well as unplanned laughter, like when Sir Vival ' s (Steve Smith) sword broke in two and went flying across the stage. On February 12 and 13, nine young actors presented the French comedy SganareJie by Moliere in dinner-theatre form. SganarelJe revolved around an hilarious love- triangle. Martine (Lori Chuch) thinks her husband Sganarelle (Tim Arnett) is cheating on her (and vice versa), and Lelie (Matt Baucco) thinks his fiancee Celie (Chris Gackenheimer) is married to Sganarelle. In reality, no one is cheating on anyone. Both CJusmy Custard and SganareJJe provided young actors and actresses with an oppurtunity to show off their comic geniuses. 00 ADMIT ONE tH -. O FALL DRAMA
