Friday Rehearsal

Julius (Dan DeMatteis) takes a chance to do a little scheming with Anna (Cheryl Grothaus). Viennetta (Jane DeHart) is mugging up on the latest edition of Fanny Hill, and Sophie (Glee Cady) reads up on act II of Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular or the poetry of Dorothy Parker in the hope of getting some tips on topping herself painlessly, Anselm Adorne (John Gleason) wonders if he wouldn't be better off at Lauder Bridge, Kathi (Mickey Thies) awaits news from the Battle of Nancy; Godscalc (Cathy Brown) reveals his secret - he's a woman, Juror (Ruth Barnett) shows an amazing anticipation of late 20th Century US dress sense, Viagra (Tina Dallas) practises for the 1572 'Miss Venetian Cleavage' contest, Marian Charetty shows that SHE HAS NO LONG CHESTNUT HAIR, Sue Cone (Videographer) wisely attemptsto edge out of the door before she's spottend, and Jackie Meeks (Admin) wonders whether Simon has estimated the number of programmes to be photocopied correctly (for the third time). Finally, Gayelynn Oyler wisely ignores the who thing and ponders the menu.
