Inside the theater, the pace picks up immediately. A laboratory set reveals the head of Walt Disney, played by Lorenzo Moreno '00, flanked by Albert Einstein (Scott Brown '98) and Mary Lou Retton (Kate DeLima '97). Moreno uses his head to wonderful effect, betraying 1,001 emotions throughout the course of the play...
...interactive and quite disturbing ride of the first act looks like the Tea Cups compared to "Monkey Town," which might rightly be compared to Space Mountain. The act opens as a television broadcast hosted by a absurdly drunk Santa Claus (Lorenzo J. Moreno '00) and an amazingly facile and supinely cynical Rosemary Kennedy (Samantha S.B. van Gerbig '98).

...staple on TV for three decades, starting on the Ed Sullivan Show, where he conducted absurd conversations with his dummy Pedro, his puppet Cecelia the chicken, or the blond-wigged Johnny, a face he painted on his hand, moving thumb and index finger to simulate a mouth.

"Both times the station and the park were pawns in the game," says Johannah Barry, executive director of the U.S.-based Charles Darwin Foundation, which raises money for the research station. "What...
...mayor of San JoseTetla (pop. 800). ``Under Salinas we thought we had prestige, but it washed away like a sand castle. Now they are mortgaging our country. What happens later if we can't pay our debts? Will the U.S. then ask for part of our territory?'' Carlos Garcia Moreno teaches 17 children in a one-room schoolhouse. His $70-a-week salary can no longer cover the pencils, notebooks and breakfast he bought for them. ``I don't know who to blame,'' he says. ``But the U.S. has an obligation to help its neighbor out of humanity...
