It is not exactly the same Auld Lang
Syne when a survivalist, a computer geek, a new-age spiritualist, whacked-out
evangelist and a befuddled forest ranger converge in an unlikely setting
on New Years Eve 1999! With almost certain doom at midnight, it's a party
to end all parties!
![[Milt and Candi]](vixensm.gif)
An outrageous comedy to cap an outrageous
century!
Okay, okay. Technically, the
end of the century is Dec. 31, 2000. If you're going to be that nit-picky,
you'll probably actually try to solve this mystery instead of laughing at
it.

![[Dee McCorkle]](red1.jpg)
In a secluded cabin in the woods, not far from
Jellystone National Park, is a whacked out survivalist (played by Dee McCorkle.) Known by the code name of "Red Fox," she is
hatching a secret plan to hold the U.S. Government hostage at the stroke
of midnight, January 1, 2000.
![[Michael Moran]](miltonx.jpg)
The militia leader has hired computer whiz Milton
Nerdly ( Michael Moran) to hack into the Pentagon's computerized
defense system and disable it. A missile launch will automatically destroy
key military targets if the government refuses to give in to Fox's demands.
![[Butch Maxwell]](aaronx.jpg)
To bankroll the plan, Operation Y2K, Red Fox
has brought in an unlikely ally: The rich and sleazy evangelist Reverend
Aaron (Butch
Maxwell.) A fundamentalist preacher and entrepreneur,
Aaron professes that in the year 2000, the world will be redeemed by the
Second Coming of Elvis.
![[Arlene Merryman]](primx.jpg)
Complications ensue with the arrival of an eccentric
new-age spiritualist called Prim (Arlene
Merryman.) The cosmic crackpot contends that the
year 2000 will herald a visit from a savior from space, and that one of
the other characters in the cabin is the connection between her band of
seekers and the aliens.
![[Gino Angelo]](rangerx.jpg)
Confusing things further is the appearance of
a befuddled forest ranger (Gino
Angelo), who is the only character without an
agenda for Y2K. An employee of the park for 23 years, Ranger Smith has survived
being struck by lightening three times, thanks to the grounding properties
of his Swiss Army Knife. There are, however, no guarantees that he will
survive the Mystery Theatre show.
Understudies for the show include Furioli and Rachel
Podwika.
