A Glimpse at the Une-Acts id you ever get the feeling that you were nobody or maybe that your life was just a bunch of short takes? This year's winter One-Acts, Glimpses, Hold Me, and l'm Nobody, were held on January 31st and February lst. They displayed what these feelings were like. They showed the different lifestyles such as high society in the south, dealing with divorce and death. They also talked about being fat, popular, having acne, braces, and needing clothes and money. There was also a short segment on the school system and how it works in that certain community. lt has insight to different view points, said Beth Westbrook, '85. The One-Acts are good for people who aren't usually in plays, said Leighton Christiansen '86, There are enough parts for anyone who wants to try out their talent, but don't want to go as far as the Spring Play. Tears were brought to the actors and actresses on opening night, as the crowd ex- pressed their feelings. As a whole they went pretty good, but on Thursday night the audience wasn't the best, said Tlm Sipes '85. Other than the first night going wrong it was a good experience for everyone involved. I got to meet some really neat people, said Adrienne Storm '87. l had fun doing these and now l'm going to try out for the Spring Play.
