Saturday evening the "Pleasant Sage" play was a
big hit. People started arriving at 4 p.m. for the play that
would begin at 5. Within the first 30 minutes, all the seats
were filled, and play crew and helpers started setting up more
chairs.
They would set up chairs and
the seats would fill, then they'd set up more and again it wasn't
enough. By the time the play began at 5, the barn that houses
the Lincoln Stage was fully packed.

Lisa Kuhlman, co-author of the play, explains
how the audience will provide sound effects, using the cue cards. |

When the banker is arrested, he claims he's
going to see his mother, though he had previously told the town she was
dead. He finally confesses that his mother lives in isolation
because she is grotesquely ugly. He shows them her picture and
they all shriek in horror.
|
However, Kitty O'Day, the town jezebel, applies
some rouge and lipstick to the photo and everyone agrees she's a
right nice-looking woman.
The banker is innocent of stealing the money from the
bank. |

Butch Haam, the town butcher, and Molly
confess they were headed out of town on the train to elope. However, when Butch announces that once wed they will live with his
dear mother, Molly puts the stops on that runaway train.
They are innocent of stealing the money from
the bank

all the wanted posters she has "tucked away" on Kitty O'Day.
But Kitty is still innocent of stealing the
money from the bank.

The traveling salesman falls instantly in love
with Kitty. He breaks a town law so that he, too, will be sent
to jail while Kitty serves out her time from a previous crime.
The salesman also is innocent of stealing
money from the bank.

The play is over and the cast comes out for
one last bow.
So... who done it? All we can really say
is, "I guess you had to be there."
But we'll give you a hint. Some lawyers
really are crooks, and not all masked men are do-gooders. |
