Do blondes truly have more fun? Brunette discovers real answer How could a cute blonde have brown hair? The script of last year ' s Thespian play, MY SISTER EILEEN, had Eileen characterized with blonde hair, but Kristi Clark, who played the role, had brown hair. As show time grew nearer, the problem still went unsolved, yet they didn ' t give her a Clairol job, nor even make a trip to the local beauty salon — a blonde wig finally did the job. Ripplites enjoyed the play, which illustrated the hectic, fun, and sometimes crazy life of two sisters trying to make it on their own in New York City. Eileen ' s older sister, Ruth, played by Elizabeth Appel, seemed to be a little more responsible than Eileen and somewhat held the two together, yet craziness prevailed as the girls lived their lives. With the final performance of the play, Ripplites rolled right into another major production, the Ripples Acts. The acts ranged from IT ' S A SMALL WORLD, directed by Jim Hale and Sally Talbott; to WHAT THE HELL?, directed by Mark Hilton, Tony Stone, and Peter Chastain; to the winning act BATTY MAN, directed by Alan Hague and David Dawson. BATTY MAN, as the name implies, was a satirical take-off of the popular T.V. series, Batman. The plot involved the antics of Batty Man (Todd Blake) and Sparrow (Andy Dove) as they diligently fought such criminals as Kitty Litter (Flesia Dailey), Queen Tut (Debbi Dawson), the Puzzler (John Tensmeyer), the Smoker (Greg Jones) and the Duck (Brett Foster). Intermission entertained the audience also, as it featured various acts also performed by students. Janice Cummings took Best Intermission Act for her talent in singing. Ripple ' s traveling group of dramatists, O.B.R.C, displayed their acting ability on May 12, in An Evening With O.B.R.C. They performed a variety of mimes, short skits, and finished up with the ever popular human machine . The night was highlighted with the introduction of the new members and the serving of refreshments on stage afterwards. With the closing of the curtain, another dramatic year at Ripple came to a close, but the stage waited for many more actors and actresses to play scenes in the spotlight of the future. FROZEN SOLID ... As punishment for the greatest sin of all , inhabitants of hell are frozen in a giant ice cube in the act WHAT THE HELL? HANDS OFF . . . Struggling to get away from her over-friendly landlord, Eileen (Kristi Clark) uses all her strength t o push herself free. Spring Productions 25
