Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl Editor's Note: Al Ser- radell portrayed Mortimer fthe villainl in CU's produc- tion of the melodrama, Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl. The play took second place in the American College Theater Festival, Oct. 17-20. We asked Al to give us a first-hand glimpse of the goings-on backstage. By Al Serradell Often it is not the produc- tion itself, but the backstage activities that actors remember with the greatest fondness. For those of us who have been performing on the Cameron stage for three or four years, it was those backstage activities of Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl that seemed to be as engaging as the pro- duction itself. One of the most intriguing factors of rehearsal was the 'inability of the actors to show Shelley Unsicker, Crystal Stin- nett, and Mark Ericson capture the mood and spirit of 1890's melodrama and vaudeville. up on time. The excuses were often as creative as the actual performance. Angela Prater was late numerous times due to the ill-fated wet blue jeans that had to be dried before rehearsal. This tendency on Angie's part raised serious - if not humorous - questions in our minds. Suzanne D'Spain was late because she had to drive all the way from Duncan, Frank Blocker tended to fall asleep in the auditorium, and Scarlett Miller could not tear herself away from Placido Domingo records. Each actor lent his or her own brand of craziness that, I think, made the show work. It was backstage that Shelley Unsicker was herald- ed by the cast as the new Goldie Hawn. It was backstage that became the playground of Dana Todd and her fuzzy, icky tarantula, King George. Charlie Curley was rather relaxed, but then again he was subjected to my often tasteless jokes, and that could make anyone truly comatose. Scarlett tossed sharp- edged instruments about while performing an in- teresting tap dance routine. Suzanne was the earth mother figure as she tended to the needs of Rocko, the stunt baby. tHe was the only Equity actor we could find.J Brad Stevenson had a most unusual attraction to mir- rors, but perhaps itis best not to get into that. Exposing the others for their zaniness does not ex- clude myself. I paced like a nervous cat, delivering my lines to innocent and unfor- tunate ears. Of course, these are only the printable activities that occurred. You know what they say: Get a bunch of ac- tors together and you get trouble. But it was a lot of fun! Mortimer Frothingham tAl Ser- radellj is insistent in his evil ap- proaches upon Purity to win her love. iStaff photos by Kevin Bartraml Heaven Will Protect 25
