Campus News In Brief
The Grimsley Drama De
partment will open its new
season with the Playmasters’
production of Scapino, to be
presented October 30 and
November 1, 7, and 8 at
Weaver Education Center.
Scapino, described by di
rector Richard Zaruba as a
“ comiclove story,” tells the
story of an Italian servant’s
efforts to straighten out a
hopelessly tangled love tri
angle between two families.
The plot is full of mistaken
identities and unexpected
twists.
According to Zaruba, the
play is demanding on all the
actors, especially on Chuck
Tedder, who plays the title
role. “At one point. Chuck is
a pirate and his parrot, a
Chinese kung fu expert, and
an entire Engbsh army, in
cluding the horses, the ca
valry, £md everything, all at
once. And that’s in addition
to his role as Scapino,” says
Zaruba.
The playmasters have
made some additions to the
original script, augmenting
the original cast of fourteen
by about thirty people. The
major addition will be an
Angelic Choir and All-Kazoo
Orchestra, conducted by
Grimsley junior Paul Smith.
When asked to describe
the play in general, Zaruba
said, “It’s completely comic
from beginning to end.” He
paused and then added,
“It’s absolutely nuts.”
