Caduceus Capers set
When Mista Pill goes into labor and her baby is due in minutes, any nurse would search frantically for a doctor.
Not so for the nurses at the KU Medical Center.
Being frantic wouldn't help if all the doctors were locked in the dirty clothes room . . . and they are.
Something this zany could only happen in outer space—and it does, when the nursing students at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City will present the 15th annual production of "Caduceus Capers" at 8:00 p.m. March 3 and 4 in Battenfeld Auditorium of the Medical Center.
IN "OUT OF THIS WORLD," a team of nurses and doctors take a 40-day trip into outer space—with patients. (What worse could happen to a patient than to have diarrhea at 18,000 miles per hour, and be weightless at the same time? . . . and one of the main characters, Iva Pott, an extremely jolly and obese lady, just happens to . . .)
But Iva isn't the only problem. There is Mister Fill, nervous and frightened because Mista is having her baby . . . in outer space . . . and Little Boy Blue, an obnoxious brat with a cardiac problem.
In this musical comedy-satire on nurse-doctor relations, the doctors are separated from the nurses during the trip. The doctors have wandered into a room marked "DCR" which they think is the doctors' conference room, but is really the dirty clothes room.
WITH THE DOCTORS GONE, the nurses have to take over the doctors' duties, and havoc results. A stowaway is discovered and fractures his leg. No problem for a nurse to set a simple fracture . . . if she sets the leg that's broken. The only thing the stowaway
can do is moan and scream, because he's in too much pain to tell the nurses they've made a mistake.
And Mista has her baby—the first to be born in outer space (unless the Russians know something we don't know).
BUT THIS IS ONLY A SAMPLING of the comedy to come in "Out of This World," a humorous satire, with young women playing both men and women.
"I think it would be a worthwhile experience for anyone to see our production," said Gloria Klinger, a Kansas City nursing student. "We've worked especially hard on this production. The singing and dancing is great, and it's a wonderful satire."
