Make-believe is real for Festival performer
By MATTHEW SCHOFIELD Staff Reporter
Several types of bridges link thres of the Rotunda Festival in Bonner Springs. There is the Troll Bridge, the King's Bridge, and the Knight's Bridge.
Knight's Bridge.
But for Bryan Haas, Kansas City Kan,
sophomore, the bridges of the festival extend past the physical realm.
"The Resistance is Festival bridges the gap between reality and fantasy," he said. "I would like to hitchhike around the world, but I realize that's a fantasy. I would also like to avoid the real world as much as is possible. The festival allows me to shed the real world for awhile."

HAAS, who said he could be classified as a
professor, but was more accurately a professional student, said that when he heard about the festival this year, he decided he wanted to be a part of it, even though he had never been to the festival before.
He had to juggle and playing "hack" in front of Wescock Hall for the past few years, so he decided to try out for the festival as a juggler, he said.
said.
"Everybody and his brother wanted to be a jugger so I tried out to be a actor, and was made a member of the Hue and Cry players," he said.
HIS CHARACTER as a member of the Hue and Coy harlequin group was named Miles Away, which he said, coincided with his feelings during the festival.
Has said this was the first time he had ever acted, and that he had worried about being able
to ad lib. The Harlequin actors of the Renaissance used to perform entire routines extemporaneously, he said.

"I drink people's Cokes, eat their food and firt," he said. "It's a lot of fun."

FUN WAS what motivated him to take part in the festival and fun was all he expected out of acting, he said.

"I thought about taking an acting class, but then I might have started taking acting too seriously," he said.
seriously. I had to have been the motivating factor behind him joining the players, he said, because they were paid only $5 a day to perform at the festival.
"We get a free ticket," he said. "if you lose that, though, you have to pay $35. A lot of these people don't make anything."

To earn their pay the players have to put on six shows a day, as well as be on stage all day as they walk around the festival, he said.

"Some of the people in the festival never stop with the act," he said. "A lot would say I should be talking in old English right now."

He said he probably would spend more time in character after he built more confidence in being able to do it.
"I've even written some of my own stuff that I'm going to do as soon as I get brave enough," he said.
William Allen Young, another lead actor in the film, shared Meyer's reversion for its situation. He said he was reluctant to do the film because it depressed him.

"I have always been a compassionate person and a humanitarian, which is why I cried a lot on this set," Young said. "I think this film is going to serve a real, positive purpose. It's a landmark film and I'm proud to be a part of it."
THE FILM was made for television so it could reach as many people as possible. Meyer said.
East said, "I hope everybody watches this. It's important, especially for young people. We're the people who will take over the world."
Mary West, the casting director, silently wept as the sequence in Allen Field House was filmed. She said she was moved by the performance and asked the bred performers and crew members.

The film depicts the aftermath of a nuclear attack through the eyes of four principal characters. Young said the cast and crew of the film tried to smile, laugh and joke off camera as much as possible to counteract the stress of their work.
stress in MEHE HAS a crazy, weird sense of humor. "You said, 'One day he directed on horseback. He went away, came back on a white horse and just said, 'Action.' Everybody in the cast and crew has a silent pact to love each other and get through this."
The performers had minimal time to relax. Robards said.

"I've only seen the inside of the Holdome and the set," Robards said. "I'm working all the time I'm here."
Allen Field House was turned into a hospice for the dying during the filming of "The Day After" yesterday. The ABC movie depicts the nuclear destruction of Kansas City and the surrounding area. ABC plans to air the movie this March.
