Theatre Presents: One-Acts Every year the sophomore and freshmen Lancers do 1-Act Plays during the fall. This year they paid their tribute to the famous “tragi-comic” writer, James Thurber. The play, based on nine different short stories, was entitled “Thurber’s Carnival”. The nine stories which were done are; “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of his Wife”, “The McBeth Murder”, “If Grant had been Drinking at Appomatox”, “The Little Girl and the Wolf’, “The Unicorn in the Gar¬ den”, “The W olf at the Door”, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, “The Last Flower”, and “The Night the Bed Fell”. This year a new addition was added to the play, a revolving set. This new idea was very appropriate because it accomidated the nine different settings of each story. The teachers which helped the students put this all together were Mr. Frank Wins¬ low, Mr. Ron Isom, and Mrs. Jemima Owens. The student directors were Liz Jah- ren, Eddie Evans, and Kevin Vogt. All of these people did a great job, but most of the credit should be given to the students who put their time and effort into making this play for our enjoyment. 1) Ryan Robinson expresses his emotions to Jodi Dean in the play, “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of his Wife.” 2) Brian Tallant relates, “The Night the Bed Fell” on his father. 3) Monica Rodriguez awaits to be operated on by Pat Swierczek and Alex McHugh in the story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” 4) Phillip Evans and Kelly Hobbs try to solve “The Macbeth Murder Mystery” 5) In “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” pantomimes were used to help relate the sto¬ ry to the audience.
