Schultz play You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown consisted of a conglomera- tion of main skits separated by short skits involving the characters from Charles Schultz's famous Peanuts comic strip. Characters included Theresa Brunetti as Snoopy, the dog with fantasies of gunning down the Red Baron, Jeff Barnett played the totally inept Charlie Brown, Katie Randall acted as Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally, Matt Norris played Betho ven 's disciple, Schroeder, Mari Teeman played Schroeder's unwanted girlfriend, Lucy, and Jim Billion portrayed Linus, the boy with a blanket addiction. The show tells the story of Charlie Brown and his struggles not to do idiotic things, such as making a fool of himself in front of his true love of his life, the little red-haired girl, and of trying to win a game of baseball for once in his life and amuses all ages his friend's struggles to be patient with his ineptitude during games when he invariably either pitches a perfect ball to the opposing team or misses the ball completely when he's up to bat. The scenery, a group of colored blocks in various shapes and sizes, served as anything from chairs to seesaws. The main skits included one in which the group lamented over several topics ranging from whether to wait until the next day to do the assignment, to how many words they could think of that are vaguely related to the subject of the book Peter Rabbit . A small pit band consisting of Mary Jensen, Jeff Hurley, and Sheila McGreevy accompanied the charactors during the musical numbers. Sara Spelts and Kevin Brick served as the directors for the play. 94

Actors work or superior How do I like myjob? I love it! It's a bore. The same thing over and over each day. I like it, except on Mondays. These lines echoed throughout many weeks of preparation, then finally, regional and state one act competition of our one act play, Working , an adaptation of Studs Turkel original version. With a cast of 14 members, the real working world was reincarnat- ed into an ensemble. Matt Norris' impersonation of a gas man brought the reality of the events of outside world into a humorous state. Mrs. Rose Hoffman, played by Katie Shaeffer, blended a successful interpretation of an old-time school teacher with the comical discipline problems of a classroom. Grocery shopping to the beat of The hips, the hands, and the register put rhythm into the shopping bag. Mary Ellen Doyle took the stage playing the part of an every day waitress. She loves her job because of the people she meets, and she wouldn't give it up for anything. For the 5th straight year, O'G's one acts have been rated superior in state competition. All actors received superior awards for par- ticipating in the ensemble. 96 J we 'E NX
