S-u-c-c-e-s-s, that's how an adult should spell it, but a child might try s-u-k-s-e-s. Regardless of the spelling, every age group alike walked away from "Please Don't Sneeze" with this same warm feeling. The antics of Allen Lykins as Baron Blunderbuss caught the avid attention of the audience. His fat belly, long-stomping strides and low-chuckling voice portrayed the Baron with ease. The children adored him. Adelle Barnett delivered such lines as "Shut up when you're talking to me," with a very loud and rough voice in her characterization of the Horrible Hortense Anthropy. Perfect performance. The costuming for Hortense was exceptional. The bright auburn hair with orange feathers set off her green dress with blue stripes. Ray Myers designed all the costumes this way. It was the strawberry topping to a good icecream sundae. The entire cast learned to sneeze beautifully. It was a high point in the show as they tried to tell the doctors just what kind of sneeze the Baron had. Larry West as Tom and Kristen Rose as Nellie were particularly outstanding in this sniffly area. Though Dave Emmert, as Cookie, had a small part, he capitalized on what he had to say. His nervous stuttering and quick, jerky motions were always timed perfectly. Not to be forgotten were the two doctors. You'll never forget them. Gary Bird, as Dr. Housencaller, and Tom Wertz as Dr. Garglestein, were hilarious while on stage. When they were gone the audience kept waiting for them to return. Simple things like checking the heartbeat became major projects as they bumbled their way into everyone's hearts. Two other supporting roles were played by Dave Sparkman as Boots and Janet Ward as Gilda, the orphan. Everyone who saw it took an hour and a half of their time to sit back, relax, and laugh with the children. It was a beautiful kind of laugh.
