A Company of Wayward Saints is done in the form of the one used by sixteenth century strolling players. The form it uses, called a mask, is a form of an early V‑Show. While the form is from the sixteenth century, the jokes and skits are definitely from the twentieth.
A platform is the only backdrop for A Company of Wayward Saints. This forces the actors to use all of their acting ability to keep the audience's attention. For this reason, the play is a very challenging one for the actors.
Mr. Robert Norris will direct the spring play. The technical director will be Miss Sue Colliander. Tickets may be purchased in the bookstore or from any Thespian member.
