I I I The crowd waits impatiently for the opening of the doors. An incident breaks out between two rowdies to eliminate the boredom. Finally, the entrance is opened. A mad rush directly heads for the front row. After another period of seemingly endless waiting, the lights dim. A roar of excitement overcomes the smokey atmosphere. As flickers from lighters anticipate the performers’ light show, distant screams and chants in unison envelope the audience in mild madness. From the dark depths of the unknown stage, the gleams of flashlights meander recklessly as the musician is shown the way to his position. The volume of the climate is gradually increased, A sudden burst of sound and light breaks the surroundings. Gradually the live music and performance puts the audience in a hypnotic trance. From this day on, the audiovisual experience of live performance will last as memories in the form of albums, t-shirts, posters, programs, photographs, ticket stubs, and most of all the thrill of seeing favorite artists in person.

Councilman Banks (Kevin Mock) appeals to the audience as Miss Laura Vorndran and Kathy Lahr are Masters (Grace Osborne) looks on. the voices from beyond. “Venus in square with Uranus. Avoid reality at all costs ... Virgo is descending, but thats her problem . . . Your lucky number is 355466495867402. Watch for it everywhere. ” These and other such expressions were seen and heard during the Thespians’ presentation of “You Were Bom On A Rotten Day. ” The play centered around Claude Jones (Mike Green), a struggling physics instructor, who couldn’t even get the school to buy him a bunsen burner for his lab. He was further angered by the new astrology craze which swept through his classroom and mezmer-ized his students. In an attempt to discredit astrology and to gain a few necessities, especially a telescope for his class, Claude disguised himself as Pto- lomy — a world famous astrologer. As Ptolomy he made two crazy predictions and amazingly both came true! Consequently, astrology’s popularity grew simultaneously with the romance between Claude and a beautiful English teacher (Renee Barney). Through astrology he helped her to develop a better image of herself. A conflict arose at this point in the play. Should Claude admit he was a fraud and destroy the girl he loved, or should he carry on with the hoax and destroy astrology? The answer was simple. Ptolomey told the people “to vote funds for their school” and then predicted his own disappearance. The financially rewarding play was a hilarious look at astrology and its powers.
