Yesterday I witnessed Cary Academy’s version of the Fried KrispyKreme Donut Bacon Cheeseburger, namely, something I never dreamed of seeing together: a merger of the upper school’s Thespian Troup and Reptile Club. Yes, there in our amphitheater were three large Boas watching students improv a marriage gone bad. I found it hard to tell whether the Boas enjoyed the performance, but the 20 or so students in attendance laughed loudly as the actors played with lines and responded wittily to each other’s cues. When I asked Mr. Rushin, faculty advisor for the Reptile Club, if the Boas had been fed recently, he replied, “not really.” Mr. Rushin explained that the club was presenting to the 7^th grade next week and he wanted to make sure the Boas were ready to eat then. Not a brave soul to begin with, I excused myself and retreated to the safety of the Headmaster’s office where I could watch the actors through my window.
