11 I ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Clumsy Custard Strikes With a taste of the bazaar, the three act play. The Clumsy Cus- tard Horror Show , also had a dash of silliness to it. Supporting a cast of 16 actors and many crew members, the play was a major production for the Highmore Dra- ma Club. The Highmore FHA pro- vided dinner before the play as they have done in previous years The characters were varied and many The part of the director was played by the real director herself. Barbara Roseland. Grant Garrigan was the slightly senile storyteller. Arnis Boheme. his helpers, the Ush- ers. were played by Lori Newton and Cathy Faulstich. Worfle. the three-horned beast and loyal friend to Swashbuck Valpariso. was played by Justin Runestad The part of Swashbuck Valpariso. master of fast feet and a hero of unparalled proportions, was por- trayed by Mike Jetty.

Sir Prize. Sir Vival, and Sir Cumference who were played by Dan Lusk. Gary Schmidt and Kip Kusser re- spectively. Patty Kilber was Head, a forlorn women whose head was disengaged from her body when she refused to love Dacron. Steve Oligmueller and Jodi McDonnell were cast as the traitorous Mal- force and Alphasia. Matforce. who is. chief advisor to the king and Al- phasia, nanny to an unsuspecting Princess. Then of course there is the Clumsy Custard, an amoeba- like creature that feasts on royalty and peasants alike. The Custard was domesticated by the evil Da- cron and Dacron uses the Custard as a torture tactic. With the masterful storytelling of Arnis Boheme. the tale was told. The setting of the play is a magical kingdom called Zob. Of Zob there are two parts. Zob Proper and Zob Improper The plot twists oround the motive of Dacron to success- fully woo the Princess Prince. How- ever. Dacron is not the only one who seeks to woo the Princess. Swashbuck Valpariso also wishes to woo her Rumored to have fallen prey to the Fungus people. Swashbuck and Worfle encounter everything from turkey spiders and mistaken identity to the evil designs of the Ice Cream Clones. Polly and Ester, in their quest for the Princess. After one failure. Dacron manages to capture the Princess with the aid of Malforce and Alphasia Swash- buck. learning of the capture, sets out to find her. But alas, with a heavy heart for he has fallen in love with a scullery maid who is really the Princess in disguise. Meanwhile, the Princess believes the young Swashbuck to be an itinerate raisin washer. With the help of his clones and Malforce. Dacron manages to take away the power of fast feet from Swashbuck However, while Dacron looks for an escaped Prin- cess. Worfle applies an antidote, supplied by the reformed Head, to the weak Swashbuck. Swashbuck gets back his fast feet and does away with Dacron. The end of this tale was a typi- cal ending as Swashbuck and the Princess recognized each other as the scullery maid and the raisin washer and lived happily ever after with the Clumsy Custard as their pet And anyone guilty of treachory was reprimanded Jockie Neuharth wds assistdnt director while Doug Hinkle was in charge of lighting and sound ef- fect.
