The Life O' the Party This one act farce revolves around Betty Lou Maxwell, played by Anne Carman, who is having her first party. She wants it to be a great success, so she doesn’t invite her brother Wilber, played by Pat Ostmeyer, which is much against his constitution. But when his older sister, Connie, played by Barb Wikoft, asked him to help tragedy occurs. He has to pour the car- bonated water into the punch and then take his father, played by Leroy Rietcheck, the bottle of sleeping medi- cine. But a very dis- gruntled Wilber absent-mindedly pours the sleeping medicine into the punch and carts the carbonated water up to his dad. From then on it’s one great big holocaust of confusion, as a very bewildered and shocked mother, played by Deb Scham- berger, and Betty Lou watch her guests drop off to sleep one by one. The party guests are Bernadine played by Jill Karnes, Sharon Brookshire as Mary, Coleen Foster as Judy, Mark James as Jack, Paul Campbell as Bob, Scott Wente as Cliff, and Brad Richmeier as Frank. A. Whip him now father! B. I ain’t done yet hombre! C. The boy needs a lesson, John. D. ZZZZ E. Are you in a bad mood dear? F. I’m pretty burned up, Pop! 24

In a fast-paced poker game, with the aid of the bar- maids, Sally, played by Jill Davis and Flo, played by Joan Porsch, along with Aces, played by Mark James and Cactus Jack, played by Mark Karnes, join into the game and lose to a gamblin’ woman by the name of Lou, played by Suzann Ste- phens, who produces one big ace from some secluded place” to win the deed to Katy’s estab- lishment. With the help of an eastern dude, Casper, played by Brad Rich- meier, who’s a rude crude prude, and Little Nell, played by Jill Karnes, and Katy, played by Joan Schieferecke they make their plot to retrieve the business. The morality of expediency is then explored as Nell insists that Black’s not white, and wrong’s not right.” Nell’s plan turns the tables unexpectedly in a surprise ending to rewin the deed to Katy’s marvel- ous saloon. 23
