Creature Creeps Form Family After the first couple weeks of rehearsals, our very bizzare group of cast members began to ques- tion our comedic talent. The script was hilarious, but ioke after joke with no audience there to laugh was like a kick in the stomach with every silent punchline. Most of us had little or no experience, and the fact that this show would go on no matter what, scared us to death. We consisted of a mad scientist and his helper, his wife and her sisters, his dizzy daughter, her college roommate, her fiance', a frantic maid, and a mysteri- ous creature in the cellar. The unorganization of the plot seemed to coincide with our own confusion. We suddenly realized that alone, each of us meant noth- ing. No one was better than anyone else, and without a group effort, we feared our ultimate failure. Consequently, we banned together and achieved something no other cast could ever come close to accomplishing. We became a true family. A creepy, Transalvanian one at that. When the curtain opened on opening night and we heard that magnificent audience scream, all our fears were put behind us as we went on to perform for the biggest audience for a comedy in Conant's history. Every line merited an uproar of laughter and applause. It overwhelmed us that we could make so many people happy and have so much fun doing it. I can't thank the cast and crew enough for such an incredible Senior year. The Drama department has given me a great sense of worth, along with some of the very best friends anyone could ever want. I am extremely jealous of all the future Cougars who will continue to shine on the Conant stage. It is a feeling like no otherg one which can never be forgotten. tClockwise-right!
