Baby With The
Bathwater
MCM=3IMM
The Collegian
What do a baby, two
inexperienced parents, a wacky
nanny, wild costumes and a
lively mix of times have in
common? Times up! It's Baby
With The Bathwater, the play
written by Christopher Durang,
directed by Kathleen Campbell,
and presented by Behrend's
Matchbox Players.
As the title portrays, the play
is a wild one. Campbell says,
"When you work with a play, you get to know
it and I'm pleased with Baby With The
Bathwater."
"The play is very bizarre, funny
and crazy." She has a lot of
enthusiasm about the cast also.
"We are in good shape and are
where we should be. I have a
good feeling everyone is in the
right rhythm."
After having said that, she
gets a warm smile on her face.
She knows she has chosen the
right play and has no second
thoughts. "It's a fun play to work
on. When you work with a play,
you get to know it and I'm
pleased with Baby With The
Bathwater."
One of the different things in
this play is that some of the
actors play more than one role.
This gives an interesting and
delightful twist to it, and is a
challenge for the actors as well as
the audience.
Each actor and actress have
their own feelings about their

character. From talking to the
actors, you get a real sense that
they know their characters well.
Stephen Daniel had this to
say about John, the character he
portrays in Bathwater: "He's a
confused individual who wants a
family, but can't understand why
it doesn't work out and escapes
everything through sitting by the
refrigerator and drinking vodka."
Along the same token, Terri
Swanson, who plays his on-stage
wife, Helen, remarks, "Helen
wants everything to be perfect,
-Kathleen Campbell/Theater Director
but she tries too hard."
Johnna Simmons who plays
Cynthia, Angela and Susan
remarked about her characters,
"The three characters are very
different. I like Angela the best
because she has an edge that the
other two don't."
Director Campbell is not the
only one excited about Baby
With The Bathwater. The actors
and actresses are also enthusiastic
and psyched up to give us a real
funny comedy.
The play runs on Fridays and
Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. until
Nov. 16 and on Sundays from
Nov. 3 to Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m.
The play is performed in the
Studio Theater on campus.
Tickets for Behrend students,
faculty and staff are $3.00 and
general admission is $4.00. You

stand-up. That is what you'll

Felicia Michaels is a blonde

"like I have a helium tank stuck
up my She describes
herself as a six-year-old Marilyn
Monroe, "I'm not, like, gorgeous
or anything. I'm cute, but I'm
stupid cute."
She began her comedy career
on a bet while working as a
receptionist in a doctor's office.
According to the Houston Post,
Michaels "used to go out with a
guy who did comedy and we made
a bet." She performed during
open-mike night at a local dub

community this Friday
night at Bruno's. One of
her main topics is the

became a regular at Mitzi Shore's
Dunes Comedy Club.
Michaels' comedy deals
mainly with the thought that
"Men arc slime" and her jokes
weigh heavily in the battle of the
sexes. Her comedy is slightly X
rated and is about her boyfriend,
kinky sex, and men; topics she
can deal with. Her act is hilarious
to the broad-minded, sold-out
audiences she performs for.
Her other interests include
horseback and motorcycle riding,
basketball, skiing, tennis and the
ability to be very polite. She has
worked with such stars as Gary
Mule Deer, Skip Stephenson and
Wild Willie Parsons at clubs
such as The Comedy Store,
Dunes and The Comedy Stop and
has also appeared on national
television.
Don'i miss Felicia Michaels,
the "cute but deadly" comedian
who will appear this Friday at
9:00 at Bruno's (Behrend's only
on-campus night club).
