Fun At Any Age The production. Silver Whistle, was about old people living in a home. They seemed to be just sitting around waiting to die. They were lonely and had shut out the rest of the world. Then Mr. Oliver T. Er-wenter adventured across the old peoples home and thought of a scheme to get free room and board. His scheme was simply to tell the people at the home that he was 77 years old when he was really only 47. He told them of a potion, Twingsti, which made him look and feel younger. The old people weren’t sure if they should believe him. Through the play, Oliver tries to make them believe. The Production was the first senior class play which was a comedy under Mr. Sylwester's direction. The play set off the PHHS auditorium roaring with laughter. In act two Oliver, Mr. Cherry, and Mr. Beebe were out in the garden passing around the potion of Twingsti and Scotch Whiskey, when Mr. Beebe decided to stand on his chair and yell dirty words. Being drunk he staggered and fell back into his chair. On the closing night, Mr. Beebe landed on his chair wrong and it broke. The audience broke up with laughter and the actors on stage quickly covered up for the accident as the show must go on.
