Se U i 'Play LET ME OUT OF HERE The play had its setting in the 2-room apartment shared by Bona Lynn (Annette Dakin) and Eve Boyd (Ann Bowling) who were working together as typists. Angela Boyd, Eve's wealthy aunt (Mary Theander), wanted Eve to marry her second cousin, Gifford Morton (Oliver Shupe), while Eve could hardly wait to meet Bona's brother. Garret (Jon Sawyers). Eve, wanting to be independent, led her aunt to believe she was attending an exclusive girls' school. Aunt Angela and Gifford arrived to visit Eve on the same day as Bona's brother, Garret, and his friend, Victor Ward (Joe Urban), came. There were hilarious moments when Victor accidently tore his trousers. While Garret took them to be mended, Victor had to pretend to be a woman to Aunt Angela and Gifford to explain his presence there. Later in the play Garret pretended to be a female member of the college faculty to convince Aunt Angela that Eve was attending college. Victor's father, Marshall Ward (Charles Swayze), arrived and while he was changing his clothes, Garret stole them and left to take care of his business appointment. Mrs. Bessie Rhodes (Reta Ranabargar), the landlady; Stevie Cobb (Lennie George), the elevator boy; and Hazel (Wanda McAllister), the maid; added to the confusion of the affair. And when it seemed that nothing could straighten out the mix-up, a solution was found and all ended happily. The Senior play, under the direction of Miss Evelyn Crouch, was given on April 25, 1957.
