in search of their way back home. The
company, which includes Alejandro
Hernandez, Sam Cope, Connie Davis,

Sides, and Michael Van Vuuren, began

The Company, led by Harlequin
(Sam Cope) is full of tension. Tristano
(Dan Winthrop) and Scapino (Alejandro
Hernandez) are always at each other in
competition. "Scapino thinks he is the
smartest and probably the best actor
next to Harlequin,” said Alejandro
Hernandez.

oftered the money to go home from a
mysterious rich man who sits in the
audience. This brings out a lot of interac
tion between the actors and the audience.
Soon after the proposition, The
Company must try and release the man
whom we learn to know as Duke.
As a play within a play takes place
through improvisation, the audience
sees the transformation between scenes
that take place around the idea of "The
History of Man." All along the
evolution process of scenes in order to
come up with a suitable work for the
Duke, The Company is learning how to
act like a company again.
This comedy has a point and a
message. It is the true definition of
ensemble acting, where everyone works
together without singling out any
specific character fey praise. There are no
stars in this production. It is simply
seen as one company all together, hence
the title; "The Company of Wayward
Saints." The playdates are Nov. 8,9 and
10. Reserve tickets are free to students
and faculty but must be picked up from
the College Receptionist at Beam Ad
ministration Building. For the general
public tickets arc $3.
Poets Corner
Youth's Foolish Fancy
by Catherine Threadgill
Frivolity and levity exist with
Hardship's brevity and this, I know.
Will not eternally be mine to have and
hold.
Youth, so fleetingly, is passing.
Old age is so everlasting.
Yet you bid me loss aside the only joy
I'll ever know?
Blissfully, in ignorance, I walk loday,
Indifferent to any sorrow that .shall
Surely in the future sadly grow.
My youth, old man, I know will never
Be with me this way forever
Though I'll still, within my heart, be
dewy as the morning rose.
So leave me with my foolish fancies.
Laughter, song, and sweetheart dances.
Drifting safely from the sinking lifeboat
you now try to row.
While I'm young, this last endeavor,
Grant me now, ju.st this together.
With these daydreams while this
childhood still is mine to own.
