Drama Club Productions: March Madness, “There’s No Business Like Show Business”; Satire, “The Mouse That Roared” Students proved they were as funny on stage as in class during Drama Club ' s productions. The Mouse That Roared and March Madness. Old time vaudeville met revival as the Master of Ceremonies and Company concocted impressions and slapstick routines which tied together the 12 acts. As in past years, singing was the dominant talent. The songs of Donna Urschel ( Anticipation ' ), Paula Morphis ( The Sounds of Silence ), The Group Five ( Up, Up and Away ) and Joe Banana and The Bunch, filtered through the audience. The Mouse That Roared examined United States foreign policy with a satirical view. Duchess Glori- anna (Julie Bibler), Tulley Bascomb (Brad Dibkey), Mr. Benter (Joe Golando) and Count Mountjoy (Keith Wet- more) portrayed befuddled leaders of a tiny duchey that waged war on the United States and won. Local drama productions stole possible playgoers from The Mouse That Roared. However, the play was a personal success for its participants.
