Shepherd's contribution to the 1962 Shepherdstown bi-centennial celebration was the presentation of the The Con- trast by Royal! Tyler. This uproarious play was the first comedy written in the United States. The Contrast was first presented in Shepherdstown in 1791 four years after it was written. This example of an eighteenth-century comedy of manners provided Shepherd thespians with an interesting change of pace. Between rehearsals, set design, and prop construction, well over o thousand man hours were put in before the first night of performance.
