The play was about a group of crazy, clumsy, egotistical adults who are trying to produce a one-act play for the community. Clara Sheppard is a woman in the play who is unable to perform due to the death of her husband. As Nelly Fell, the official promptress, would say, lt's not as if she'd lost someone very close to her or some- thing. Clara is replaced by Paula Ritter, an extremely talkative amateur in the field. Mrs. Pampinelli is the director of the play. She is a rich, conceited, Mrs. Know-it-all who. with the help of Mr. Spindler, her right-hand man in charge of cues and prop- erties, succeeds in bringing the play to total ruin. David Smalley, the director of the play about a play , admits that The Torch- bearers had no plot, but the cast mem- bers' perfection of slap-stick comedy had the audience rolling on the floor through- out the performance. The play received a standing ovation on opening night, which was proof enough that The Torch-bear- ers was another of Basic's successful dra- ma productions. All-School Play 23
