Theatre Offers Fine Selection of Pl his year Smoky Hill Theatre present- ed three entertaining plays, The Curious Savage, Once Upon a Mattress and Our Town. The Curious Savage, their first produc- tion, ran November 17, 18, and 19. It was a comedy which dealt with a small group of emotionally disturbed patients, who one day meet a vibrant woman whose children have placed her at the 'Cloister, because they want the family inheritance. Her children soon find that she has taken the money and converted it into a bundle of bonds. The rest of the play was a riotous romp to find the missing bonds. At the end, Mrs. Savage leaves and we finally saw the inmates as they see themselves. Once Upon a Mattress, the year's musical, was presented on February 16, 17, and 18. The musical, satirized the fairy-tale, the Princess and the Pea. The queen has decreed that no one in the kingdom may marry until the prince finds a princessg however she makes it difficult for the princesses to pass a real princess test. One real princess crashes the castle gate and passes her test then the ladies and lords can be wed and everyone, of course, lived happily- ever-after. Our Town ran April 19, 20, and 21 and was their Spring production. It was an expressionistic examination of life in small town America, written by Thorton Wilder. The three events of daily life, marriage and death common to most of America are presented through the eyes of and with commentary by a Stage Manager. Smoky Hill couldn't have presented these three productions without the extreme dedication and commitment of the National Thespian Society, Troupe number 461, and the school's Drama Club. 88 Theatre
