      where
      the
      audience
      is
      never
      far
      from
     
     
      the
      action

      the
      actors
      actually
      play
     
     
      among
      the
      audience.
      The

      enter

      exit
      through

      the

      As
     
     
      well,
      I
      think,
      it
      is
      going
      to
      be
      a
      really
     
     
      great
      production
      and
      the
      audience
      will
     
     
      be
      thoroughly
      entertained.”

      how
      about
     
     
      cake?
     
    

    
     
      That’s
      right.
      On

      night

      26),
      the

      Dr.
      Doran
      suggested
     
     
      to
      his
      class
      that
      they
      make
      this
      event
      a
     
     
      fundraising
      activity,
      and
      they
      offered
      the
     
     
      campus
      food
      bank
      as
      the
      fundraiser
     
     
      recipient.
      He
      agreed.
     
    

    
     
      “T
      thought
      it
      was
      a
      good
      idea.
     
     
      It’s
      a
      good
      cause
      and
      it
      will
      be
      an
     
     
      entertaining
      evening.”
     
    

    
     
      The

      students

      seconds
      to
      two
      minutes,
     
     
      but
      beware,
      viewer
      discretion
      is
     
     
      advised.
     
    

    
     
      “Some
      monologues
      will
      contain
     
     
      a
      bit
      of
      profanity,”
      said
      Dr.
      Doran,
      with
     
     
      emphasis
      on
      the
      words
      “bit”
      and
     
     
      “profanity”.
      “There’s
      an
      entire
     
     
      monologue
      where
      the
      character
      talks
     
     
      about
      his
      penis.”

      what
      is
      this
      feeling
      he
     
     
      doesn’t
      want

      “Being
      up
      there,
      you
      feed
      off
     
     
      the

      energy.
      Your

      level
     
     
      is
      500
      times
      what
      it
      usually
      is.
      It’s
      a
     
     
      weird
      of
      mix
      of
      fear
      and
     
     
      adrenalin.
      .
      that’s

      He
      said
      the

      protesters

      portrays

      as
     
     
      anarchy-promoting,
      anti-American
     
     
      protesters
      who
      protest
      merely
      for
      the
     
     
      sake
      of
      doing

      If

      it

      no
     
     
      wonder

      My
     
     
      advice

      to
      be
      known
      as
      the
      land
      of
     
     
      the
      free,
      the
      land
      of
      opportunity,
      stop
     
     
      protecting
      these
      companies!

      in
      the
      65th
      minute
      off
      a

      U

      found
      themselves
      in
      the
     
     
      final
      after
      a
      miraculous
      turn
      of
      events
      in
     
     
      Saturday’s
      semifinal
      versus
      the
      Trinity
     
     
      Western
      Spartans.
      The
      Varsity
      Blues,
     
     
      losing
      3-2,
      were
      just
      moments
      away
     
     
      from
      elimination
      when
      they
      were
     
     
      awarded
      a
      corner
      kick.
      Keeper
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Lombardi
      immediately
      joined
      the
      play
     
     
      inside
      the
      box
      and,
      as
      luck
      would
      have
     
     
      it,
      the
      ball
      found
      its
      way
      to
      his
      foot.
      The
     
     
      keeper
      put
      it
      away,
      and
      the
      whistle
     
     
      signaling
      final
      time
      sounded
      just
      seconds
     
     
      after
      play
      resumed.
      Extra
      time
      solved
     
     
      nothing,
      and
      Toronto
      scored
      on
      all
      five
     
     
      of
      its
      penalty
      kicks
      to
      turn
      the
      tables
      on
     
     
      Trinity,
      who
      converted
      only
      four.
     
     
      Ironically,
      UPEI
      keeper
      Shane
     
     
      Etchegary
      would
      score
      a
      game-tying,
     
     
      injury-time
      goal
      of
      his
      own
      in
      Sunday
     
     
      morning's
      bronze
      medal
      game
      against
     
     
      Trinity.
      The
      Spartans
      emerged
      victori-
     
     
      ous
      in
      that
      battle,
      however,
      defeating
     
     
      UPEI
      2-1
      on
      penalty
      kicks.
     
     
      Quarterfinal
      action
      saw
      Trinity
     
    
   
   
    
     
      defeat
      Laval,
      Toronto
      besting
      Saint
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Mary’s,
      and
      UBC
      triumphing
      over
     
     
      Montreal,
      all
      by
      identical
      1-0
      scores.
     
     
      In
      addition,
      the
      host
      Panthers

      deemed

      tasteful
      to

      a

      What

      he

      The

      I’m
      sorry,
      I
      know

      that

      the
      remembrance
     
     
      of
      fallen
      Canadians
      very
      seriously,
      and
     
     
      I
      don’t
      think
      it
      is
      something
      to

      their
      contribution
      to
      our
     
     
      country
      to

      the
      right
      to
      disrespect
      their
