Satirical Meeting of Mayors Launches New Cold War!

Anton Antonovich Skvoznik Dumakhanovsky, at right, the Mayor of Supgorod (Soup Town) in Russia, presents Mayor Don Keil of Seguin with an honorary riding crop.  Dumakhanovsky was overheard saying, “It’s how I keep the peasants in line!”  The two dignitaries met at Seguin’s City Hall during a whirlwind tour to discuss a possible trade agreement.  Mayor Dumakhonovsky pitched the following to Keil, “We are known for our delicious cabbage soup.  Plus, my personal vineyard produces wine that is both viscous and bubbly.  By the end of the next decade we want to be able to say that ours will be one of the finest small family-owned vintners in this part of the western south-central section of our district!  Would you be willing to trade for your big pecan?”  At that point, Mayor Keil quickly wielded his new riding crop, chasing Dumakhanovsky out of the building.  The Russian escaped in his troika, racing west down Court Street as fast as his six horses could carry him.  As the carriage disappeared, Keil yelled, “Go back to Siberia!”   

In an effort to thaw the icy diplomatic tensions, the public is invited to meet Mayor Dumakhanovsky and the other fictional citizens of Supgorod this weekend, November 14—16, at Texas Lutheran University.  The department of Dramatic Media will produce The Government Inspector, a comic farce adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the original play by Nikolai Gogol.  This classic comedy, updated for a modern audience, promises to bring reconciliation through laughter.  Evening performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM, with matinees on Friday and Sunday at 2:30 PM.  General admission tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for senior-citizens and student ages, and free with a TLU ID.
