Charles Gringoire (Brett Howard) takes a turn for the worse in the 2006 S-T Drama Dept. Production "Crocodile Smile" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee.Members of the S-T Drama Department traveled to Alice Friday, March 3, to attend a One-Act Play workshop. This year's One-Act Play, "Crocodile Smile" directed by Pam Keeton, is the story of "
two inspired French comedians, both popular favorites. A beautiful woman, in love with both of them, agrees to build them their ideal theatre. Then the rivalry begins: for she agrees to marry the "better actor." Each goes to extravagant extremes to prove his mettle. The remainder of the play brings the awareness that genius cannot be handed over, gift-wrapped, to another generation. The play's balance of humor and drama provide an ideal platform to showcase the talents of S-T veteran actors Brett Howard and Rob Boscamp.
Mrs. Keeton was quick to point out there were many kinks to work out in this, their first live performance. The ensemble is working on improved make-up and costumes in addition to fine tuning the script and timing of the production.
On Friday, March 10th, the Drama Club will make another practice run in the One Act Play Invitational hosted by Rockport-Fulton High School.
A local performance of the play will take place in the S-T Fine Arts building, 7:00 p.m., Thursday, March 23. Tickets are $2.00 for adults and $1.00 per child.

Denise Chenoweth just returned from Las Vegas where she received an award from The International Society of Photographers for the photograph she is holding in her hand. The photo, taken in Arizona, in 1998, is of the sky, with a strange cloud that followed her for a number of miles as she was driving down the highway. Also in the photo is a contrail that was flown either through or directly behind the dark cloud. 
And just what was that mysterious cloud? Mrs. Chenoweth prefers to leave that to the viewer's imagination!
