Two student-directed plays
are currently in production at
the College. “Ludlow Fair”
and “Puppet-Master” are to
be performed on December
10-12 in the McLoughlin
Theatre.
“Ludlow Fair,” directed by
Joe Schenck, is a short one-act
play taking place during an
evening where two roommates
talk about various subjects.
Rachel, played by Lesley
Raechelle Thomas, is the
young, pretty and popular girl
who is usually going out every
night, while Agnes, played by
Diana Bauer, is Rachel’s an
tithesis. Although she is more
level-headed than Rachel, she
is not quite as attractive. The
play focuses on the interaction
of their two opposing per
sonalities.
“I think it’s going to come
out really good,” says Schen
ck.
Schenck is also one of the
main characters in “Puppet-
Master,” directed by Marlyce-
Scherrie Baird. This play
features Schenck and Thomas
as puppets, with the addition
of Baragain Moore as the nar
rator.
“It’s a love story,” Baird
says, between the two puppets.
She adds that it will hopefully
come off in a storybook
fashion.
The play “Puppet-Master”
will be going on tour to dif
ferent elementary and high
schools throughout the year,
promoting the College’s
Theatre Arts Department.
Baird adds that it is “really
fun to watch.”
Both directors are presently
involved in the Theatre Arts
Department’s major produc
tion, “The Increased Difficul
ty of Concentration.” Schen
ck is the assistant director,
while Baird is the sound
technician.
Schenck and Baird agreed
on the quality of the plays.
Schenck believes that it is “an
hour’s worth of entertain
ment.” “It’ll be definitely
worth seeing,” says Baird.
The performance times are
12 p.m. on December 10 and
11, and 7:30 p.m. on
December 12; in the
Mcoughlin Theatre. There is
no charge for admission.

“The Gods Must Be Crazy”
is a movie that is out of the
mainstream of films but has
managed to survive a circula
tion of well over a year
throughout movie theaters.
It is a “sleeper,” a movie
that has gone without any
recognition or hype from
Hollywood but still manages
to draw attention to itself.
“The Gods Must Be Crazy”
rides on a simple theme that
pokes fun of modern society
and its influence on less
developed areas of the world
that is truly refreshing and
entertaining.
The movie starts out in the
Kalahari Dessert in Africa and
introduces the Bushmen, a
primitive tribe of people
whose simple, non-violent, in
nocent lives, turn suddenly in-
• to turmoil when a Coke bottle
that is tossed from a passing
airplane falls from sky
and into their lives.
The Coke bottle is thought
to be a gift from the gods and
soon many uses for the bottle
evolves. After some time the
bottle becomes an object that
brings out greed and violence
amongst the tribe and it is
soon given the name, “The
Evil Thing.”
Something must be done so
the only logical thing to do is
give the bottle back to the
gods.
The tribesman who found
the bottle sets out on an
adventure to the edge of the
world to return the evil thing
back to the gods. The rest of
the story takes us through his
encounters with civilized man
and his society on his journey
to the edge of the world.
The film rides on a simple
story line that uses humorous
satire to convey a message.
This is what seems to make the
movie tick.
The film uses fast motion
camera affects and tight
editing to create a fast paced
effect.
“The God’s Must Be
Crazy” is a fast paced movie
which leaves little time for
boredom.
It is one movie you may
want to catch if it gets around
to a theater near you. It is a
simple film with a crazy, fun
ny attitude that you will no
doubt enjoy and will not regret
catching.
