5-4-3-2-1: Blast off! Abbie Ander- son, played by Heather McGlynn ' 83 set off for the planet Venus. She lost contact with the tower and ground control, voices by Laura Miles ' 83, Karen Spencer ' 83, and Lisa RudiciU ' 83. The spacecraft was plxinged to the dastardly planet of Meanus which was inhabited by three perfectly awful people: Lord Groucho, David Schulz ' 84, Sir Groan, Jim Peterson ' 84, and Lady Grumble, Michelle Moye ' 84. After being arrested for singing, Abbie met another stranded refugee named Zebulan Zook, played by Andy Schulz ' 85. Both Zebulan and Abbie fovmd themselves in hot water when they displayed unmistakable signs of happiness which was forbidden on the planet Meanus. They were forced to await their dreaded Smile Trial. In order to free themselves, their task was to make the terrible trio laugh. Sir Groan easily was made happy by a salami and cheese sandwich which he welcomed as a change from drab food pills. Zebulan tickled Lady Grumble ' s fancy with a joke he had learned on his own planet, Mirth. Lord Groucho was harder to sway. It took a pie in the face before he realized that being happy was easier than being mean and nasty. Together the five of them set off to escort Abbie back home to earth. This fimny fantasy tale, entitled The Planet of the Perfectly Awful People by Joseph Robinette, was performed by PM Tliespians at Win- chester, MacArthur, and Burkhart Elementary Schools. Mrs. Connie Wininger, sponsor of Thespians, explained that this play was picked because it had a good message and it didn ' t demand exten- sive props. Mrs. Wininger got the idea for doing a children ' s play from her previous experience in college and from input from Mr. James Head. Mr. Max Oldham, principal of Win- chester Elementeuy, was pleased at how entertaining the program was for his students. He added that it was good exposure and a great example of fun activities that are open to kids in high school. 18 THESPIANS
