In a rare moment of seriousness, Beyond Our Control
offers the wisdom of "Hindsight," a program of deep philosophical
thought, as part of its second edition, scheduled for Saturday
(January 31) at 6:00 PM EST on Channel 16.
Brother O'Venal (Randy Hassan) introduces the program's presentation
of the modern allegorical drama "A Waiting Room," in which
a group of total strangers are brought together in a waiting
room and, by a process of elimination, conclude that they
are actually dead. Ellen Akins is featured as Sarah, who appears
to be a simple cleaning woman, but may actually be something
highly symbolic of something else. Or something.
In more traditional parodies, Dave Simkins appears as naturalist
John Walsh, a man who devotes his life to the preservation
of vegetables endangered by our modern environment. On another
channel, talk show host Kate Doherty begins a series of programs
on "weird things," including the Bermuda Shorts Triangle,
UFOs, and Mr. Rogers.
This is the second edition of the Junior Achievement Television
Company's weekly comedy show, which is directed by Kate Doherty,
Tom Mantke, Jim Poyser and Dave Sutton. Beth Weller is the
show's Production Coordinator.
