At this last command a lone figure wearing shorts and clutching binoculars entered stage left and shouted frantically in the direction of stage right — You shameful little mouse!

The play itself was a satire on interna- tional politics. In it a California wine maker pushed Pinot Grand Fenwick, the sole expert of Grand Fenwick, off the market. In an attempt to be rehabilitated the leaders of Grand Fenwick declared war on the U.S. The principals in this farce were Teresa Paetz as the Duchess of Grand Fenwick, Dave Henschen as Tully Bascom — High constable of Grand Fenwick Dillutionist party leader. On the American side were Al Stephens as the Commander-in-Chief, Rod String- fellow as General Snippet, Joe Andorfer as Prof. Kokintz and Erica Hoham as Secretary of State Eve Beston. All of the above, in concert with count- less others, combined to present an entertaining evening to those in attend- ance. The night ' s biggest laugh belonged to Matt Werling when he said of the secret weapon. It ' s such a small bomb.
