stepmother foils kids in curious sa vage What happens when you mix together one fiesty matriarch, her three greedy stepchildren, five adults hiding from reality, and a teddy bear stuffed with a fortune? The answer is the Drama department's fall production of The Curious Sav- age, a delightful comedy by John Patrick. The story concerns the fate of the matriarch, Ethel Savage, who has been placed by her step- children Titus, Lily Belle, and Samuel into the Cloisters, a home for adults who have lost touch with the real world. The plan of the greedy step- Www children was to force her to hand over her share of their father's estate. Enter the guests of the Cloisters, and the fun begins. Production for the play started in late Septem- ber, and ran two months. The play was performed on November 4th and 6th. The cast and crew worked hard to make the play a success, often staging rehearsals late into the night and on Sat- urdays. Commented Mrs. Dekavallas, director, It was very gratifying to work with such talent- ed and responsible young people. Q if N 1
