Ellen Brownhill, Kay Erskine, and Chris Hixson, three Witches in 4 Hats, await the arrival of Mrs. Meanie. Potpourri consisted of a cutting from a Shakespearean comedy, a spoof on turn- of-the-century melodrama, a panto- mime play, and a quasi-happening. The production was under the direc- tion of Ed Chilla, stagecraft teacher at Sheldon and graduate student in drama at the University of Oregon. This show was experimental in that the audience sat on the stage, the performers them- selves playing on a raised platform in the center.
