Zomething Different The cast of ALL OVER TOWN gives an out-of-the-ordinary performance By Darlene Smith Buddhists, flamboyant homosexuals, and half-naked people are an unusual sight at this campus, to say the least. But everyone got their eyes full of them when the theatre department opened its production of Murray Shisgal ' s All Over Town. In this racy adult comedy, a case of mis- taken identity goes a little too far, causing a chaos of outrageous scenes. The first time we [the cast] got together and read through the play, we laughed so hard we were almost in tears, said ' Cid ' ' This was the most physically demanding play I have ever done -Steifon Passmore PSYCHO BUDDHIST SCIENTIST Dr. Lionel Morris (played by Brad Morris) points out the mountain of slime rising out of tfie ocean. Pfioto by Shannon Wells Haley, who played the part of Sybil. The action begins when Lewis (played by Steifon Passmore), a shoe salesman, gets mistaken for Louie (played by Brentwood Reid), a rather promiscuous fellow who has fathered nine children from five different women. Louie had been sent to a psychia- trist to be examined for a study about the New York City welfare system, but Lewis got there before him while delivering a pair of shoes. When Lewis discovers what is going on, he decides to have a little fun. And while Lewis is having fun, Louie is coming on to every woman in the play. And so, as the buddhist shrink says, it became Chaos! Absolute chaos! Added to all of this were two thieves, a homosexual, a few swooning females, and the buddhist ' s spiritual adviser. We chose this play because it had a lot of wonderful roles, and this year we had the right people to play those roles, said Jim Davis, the director. At some other time we might not have been able to do this play. Davis said there is more to the play than just being funny. People do jump to con- clusions about other people on the basis of race. That ' s what this play is about. But Davis was more concerned about the audience having a good time than learning a lesson in life. All the students enjoyed being in it, and 1 think the audience enjoyed it also, he said. They laughed a lot. Besides being a lot of fun for the actors, it was also a lot of hard work. This was the most physically demanding play I have ever done, Passmore said. The show was a definite test of our ability as actors. Comedic timing was essential. Passmore credited Davis for bringing the show all together. He has an astounding sense of timing, he said. The show was first presented by Adelai Holzer in 1974, and was directed by Dustin Hoffman. Passmore says that even though much of the action used in the play has since become television sitcom cliche, it stil worked well on the stage. We brought an interesting dimension to it as actors, and Davis as director, he said. TOM ED MOORE, assistant professor of the Music Department, makes a special cameo guest appearance as Dr. Morris ' s spiritual adviser. Lewis (played by Steifon Passmore) looks on in amazement.
