games. Senator Altilis is breathing down her neck to choose him to manage the government while the emperor is away, so he deviously schemes to move the date of the gladiator games up, thus burdening the princess with wedding plans. Meanwhile, peasant thieves, Gladius, Minimus and Julia, sneak into the royal palace disguised as handmaidens, and are promptly caught in a hilarious scene, almost becoming lion food until the princess gets an idea. If she trains Gladius to compete in the games, she can avoid marrying Brudis, the brainless brute favored to win.* "The Last Gladiator" is a hilarious show with great opportunities for physical humor. The Nappanee Civic Theatre began its summer youth program in 1964 and since then, hundreds of area youths have had fun while learning how to put together a stage production. Besides acting techniques, they are also instructed on make-up, set building, voice projection and character development.
