Summary: Seven wildly funny comedians, including the landlady, live in Shotzie Starr's boarding house. The only "normal" resident is Shotzie's granddaughter whose pizza delivering boyfriend is you guessed it an aspiring comedian. The action at Shotzie's becomes manic when bumbling kidnappers crash their van and take refuge there with their victim, a haughty socialite, in tow. Police surround the house and the unrestrainable comics are suddenly in the proximity of reporters' TV cameras. All hilarity breaks loose, on stage and in the audience!

BLHS athletes recently participated in a 3-mile march from the school to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, led by Fr. Patrick Hake and Fr. Paolo Degasperi. They had a Mass at BLHS first, prayed as they went, and had a final blessing in the Cathedral. The purpose was to walk to the home of Our Lady and to entrust the season to her, asking for her protection and support.
