BROWN BAG A SUCCESS
Clift, Rees star in “Ferris Wheel”

By Michelle Balazs

The last Brown Bag of the year, “The Ferris Wheel,” was performed on May 22, starring sophomores, David Clift and Victoria Rees.

The show began with a woman and a man having to ride together on a Ferris wheel because the line was too long to ride alone. As the Ferris wheel began, the man noticed the woman holding on to the safety bar for dear life. They began a conversation as to why they were riding alone. The woman rode the Ferris wheel every year on her birthday, because “you should do something you’re afraid of, it builds character.” The woman convinced the man to quit smoking for a day, because that was his fear. They both went on to tell stories from their life when the ride came to a halt, followed by a panic attack from the woman. The ride seemed to have broken. The man was also freaking out a bit because he could not deal with not smoking. As they kept talking, the man planted a kiss on the woman’s cheek to help him stop thinking about smoking and to make her stop babbling. They both looked into each other’s eyes and he kissed her again. After the ride was fixed and ended, they said their goodbyes. As the woman walked away the man paused, then ran after her.

The Brown Bag was a success, but it is not to late to see it again. It will be featured in Experiments, the student theatre production. So come and enjoy the show again on May 12.
