Winning top honors were the Outcasts with their entry “In The Beginning,” in which God reflects back on the original sin. According to Tim Smith, co- director of the winning group, his cast was a hodge podge of people with only one thing in common--the desire to have fun! “We had a real cross-section of students--two international students, people from Brentano, Hale, Moore, Hughes, the tennis team, campus security, Lambda Chi, The volleyball team and people who don’t belong to any organization. It was quite a mix.” Hughes Hall won second place with “Springtime in Germany” a look into the personal lives of Adolf Hitler and Eva Gardner as they reflect back on their Golden Years together.
