T l 1 if You are limited by the script, so I look at the appearance of the actors, their person- alities and intelligence, how they move, and their speaking abilities. If there is no problem in finding characters, as in Har- vey, I usually have a double cast. The spring play, George Washington Slept Here, was also a comedy which was presented equally as well as Harvey. It took place in a farmhouse in Pennsylvania which was supposedly the house in which George Washington slept. lt was later announced that Benedict Arnold had slept there instead of Washington. Comical situ- ations developed as the city family tried to adapt to country living, and the fact that there was no water was no help to Anna- belle's terrible headaches. She never real- ized how much she liked living in the old place until Mr. Prescott tried to force them to move out so that he could buy the prop- erty. The Fullers then had to rely on their wealthy uncle who was actually not rich at all, to give them the five thousand dollars needed to pay off their debts so that they could keep their house. The play came to an end when the entire family sat happily drinking and Uncle Stanley had tricked Mr. Prescott into believing that they had the money and could now keep their house. Although each presentation called for an average of 250-300 hours of practice, and there came times when props and furniture were hard to get, the casts remained organ- ized and both plays went over smoothly. As long as Lafayette continues to receive stu- dents with such acting abilities, it is certain that Bob Gardner will continue to direct promising plays in the future. 20 f Plays 4 4 2 gs, F 1 . f ?'C,.,.A' fa ia i ef sfrf yy .
