20 Activities James Mentas, a senior and returning performer, got tumultuous laughs as Father Drobney, an eccentric priest, in the charming little Communist country that is the setting for the play. Though only a sophomore, Jenifer Swanson is hardly unfamiliar to Los Al au- diences with her roles in last year's drama successes, This year she was a wild, crazy, rolling-pin wielding chef. l A veteran to the Los Al stage, Malcolm Womack, portrayed the bumbling, well- intentioned Axel Magee with his usual adeptness. Axel's romantic misadventures con- tributed to the comedy's quick pace and pleasant humor. , Walter Hollander was hilariously costumed and performed by Darren Glaudini, another familiar face in the drama department. His unusual attire and fine characterization ofa grumpy, frustrated, wanted tourist was a highlight. ! l
