What's the Mater Alma?
By James R. Hurst & Zoe Bell Hurst
UNDERGRADUATES
| The Clutching Claw
A night-roving miscreant. That weird shape. That hulking figure. Who can it be? What is it? |
Grey Tovalli |
| Dr. Penrose Playfair
The uh, chief, uh, leader, no the president of Wichita Hillside University who, who…is somewhat at a loss for…for…uh, those things you make sentences with. |
Ron Cox |
| Miss Alma Shrewwd
The president’s secretary and quite capable…for a woman. Be nice to her and she’ll show you her drawers. |
Mary Lou Leighton |
| Dick Bestman
Our hero, the captain of the football team, star of track, field, rowing, not to mention senior valedictorian AND president of the student council. Phew! |
Jeff Fancher |
| Timmy Oldfellow
The grandest old fellow at good ol’ W.H.U. He’s Dick’s best friend and head cheerleader. "Hit ‘em high, hit ‘em low, stomp their faces, go, go, go"! |
Troy Village |
| Genevieve Astor
Our heroine, Dr. Playfair’s beautiful ward. She’s in love with the hero, of course, but if she cannot get her guy, she’ll take a missionary position. |
Michelle Levine |
| Fenton Ormandroyd
The villain and Dr. Playfair’s near identical twin cousin. His crimes are those of a man: extortion, arson, murder, and buying beer on Sunday. |
Greg Betts |
| Professor Kranston
An eminent professor, a brilliant scientist, and a most prestigious researcher. But, will the ghost of his past hinder his medical discoveries? |
Shane Rumcie |
| Peaches LaTour
A sultry chanteuse – she can’t give you anything but love, or maybe an "A". |
Marie Cushen |
| Hickory
Dickory Dock Hickory Dickory Dock. Three mice came out of the clock. During Act I, Act II and Act III they’re here to inform you for free. |
