Larson, Ryan P. Shrime '00, Shawn H. Snyder '03, Krishnan N. Subrahmanian '03, Krishnan Unnikrishnan '02, and Nathaniel A. Whitman '02). Supper conversation reveals that the apostles in this production are basically a bunch of potheads who spend their time hanging out and partying. (If you think this meal is bad, the Last Supper you'll see on the Mainstage is supposedly a mix between a backyard barbecue...
