Much better than Sominex and cheaper than a shrink Do you lie awake at night, racking your brain for the name of someone, anyone, who talks to strange, singing boxes? Have you chewed your nails to the quick as you wonder what has the capacity to roar the roar of an angry hamburger?” How many times have you paced the floor debating whether the tooth fairy has two arms, two legs, a mustache, and a pair of pajamas just like Daddy wears? For the answers to these, and other questions, you should have tuned into April Antics ' 77. Had you attended this year ' s show on April 16 or 17, you would not be suffering these fits of insomnia now. You would no longer need to worry about tattered finger nails, nor the path you ' ve worn into the new linoleum with your frenzied wandering. April Antics ' ll did, however, provide the audience with more than just the answers to the above questions. The show, directed by Mrs. Alice Noble, featured 14 acts in all, which included song and dance numbers, a circus collage, and more comedy routines. In contrast to other years, April Antics ' ll did not have a set theme. Directors felt that Broadway flash and glittery gimmicks were not necessary, as the show was made up of enough pure talent to stand on its own two feet. 1. In an imitation of the Andrews sisters, Denise Bolman, Stacie Fisch, and Lisa Benda belt out Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. 2. While discussing the fine points of milking a cow, Wesley Webb gives Dave Clark and Carol Hawkins an enthusiastic demonstration. 3. His mouth was an onion, ringed round the edges with catsup, his eyes were pickle slices, and he had no nose,” says Pat Holloway during his Burger Creature monologue. 4. Newcomer to VHS, Leanne Grant makes her debut with Melissa Manchester’s Party Music.” 5. While trying to catch their breaths, Jeff Roscoe, Michelle McGaffic, Marilee Lindemann, and Jim Moyer strike the final pose of Money, Money.” 6. Assisted by Mike Gollando, Larry Tucker tells Mike Collands about his boxing career. 7. Utilizing both trumpet and flugle horn, Matt Johnson performs Fire and Rain. April Antics
