2004-2005 WBHS Theatre Season
MIFA One-Act Anybody Out There?
A comedy by John Patrick. Poor Oliver Pankey is a born loser; his landlady charges him when someone else breaks his window; his fiancee leaves him for a married man; his boss at the bank cuts his pay when he asks for a riase; and a thief takes everything he has-including his only suit. And, as the last straw, when he visits a doctor to check on the results of a blood test the files get switched, and he is told that he'll be dead within six months. Fed up, and conciled to his fate, Oliver turns tino a raging lion, performing feats of dazzling bravery and ending up as the new branch manager of the bank. He even agrees to help the FBI by becoming a sitting duck for a gangland shoot-out-only to learn, at the eleventh hour, of the doctor's horrendous error. Needless to say out stalwart hero's knees turn suddenly to jelly, buy the action spins zanily on, deftly finding its way to a happy-and hilarious-conclusion. Synopsis and show information available at Samuel French, Inc.
