THE HANDY MAN Stepping in front of the footlights on the night of December 8 we amateur actors and actresses felt equal to any performance ever given by the greatest of the theater idols While in front of the curtains it may have seemed to be all peace and calm, behind the scenes it was a different matter. There was someone who would persist in shutting the door after the actor was on stage who would change into the wrong clothes would come in on the wrong cues while the ones on stage wondered what happened next, or someone who would laugh at something back stage and then feel stupid when the audience didn't share his sense of humor. There was Miss Kerr, our patient director, who was valiantly struggling to keep up when somebody would skip a mere few pages of the script. But we mustn't forget the matinees, where all ten lights didn't go off at once. Then there was the time Bill Hendrick couldn't fall through the bottomless chair because it suddenly had a bottom. We almost forgot to mention how all the cast turned painters with every- body getting out of class to help. Some of the mem- bers went wild and started painting the wall tyou realize they did this in the form of namesl. THE CAST Mitzi ........ ....................................
