“I ate Carla!” yells a male
student in flip flops, jeans and
a Regina Spektor t-shirt.
“We got done at cardio and
she was like ‘I like your hair’
and I was really hungry. I ate
her!” continues the student,
who is portraying a bad friend.
The student is participating
in “World’sWorst,” an improvisational
warm up activity
taken from the popular show
“Whose Line is it Anyway?”
The players act out the world’s
worst date and bus passenger.
The sun is shining down on
the garden by Tyler Hall where
the players have lined up for
practice.
The theatre club will perform
Shakespeare in the Tyler garden
this Memorial Day weekend.
After they get through warm
ups, the shift away from modern
comedy to the
Shakespearean comedy “Much
Ado About Nothing.”
The play features two couples,
Hero and Claudio, and
Beatrice and Benedick. Shame
is brought upon the innocent
and na’ve Hero by some malicious
scheming on the part of
other characters. Benedick and
Beatrice, a man and woman
who are constantly bickering,
come together to help Hero
and eventually admit to being
in love with each other.
Benedick swears he will
never marry, calling marriage a
“yoke” he will not bear in the
beginning of the play. By the
end he falls in love with
Beatrice.
“The wordplay between
Benedick and Beatrice is what
makes this play,” said Will
Bower, who teaches
Shakespeare at Bucks’
Bower has come to the last
few practices to help out. His
official role according to the
players is “Shakespeare guru.”
Daniel Cochran and Rob
Caso are directing the production.

there will be two shows, one at
noon and another at 5 p.m.
