By SCOTT ROCHATStaff WriterIt’s been said theatergoers like nothing so much as an old comedy If so, Garden City Community Col lege director Steve Thorson should be safe his current shows have at least a century or three on every one else.In collaboration with Beef Em pire Days, GCCC will present two half hour comedies: a one-act adap tation of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” along with Nicholas Udall’s “Ralph Roister Doister,” believed to be the oldest comedy in the English language and certainly the oldest printed.The shows will be performed 7 p.m. Friday, Saturday and June 11 12 and 2 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and June 12 at “Studio 99” in the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts building of the GCCC campus. Ice cream will be served.The plays represent a change of pace from last year’s more contem porary melodrama, “The Prospec tor’s Daughter, or, She Was a Miner’s Minor.“I kind of like every other year to go with something just as outra geo us, but historical in nature,” Thorson said.See Event Page A2
