To go to Oregon, You’d Have to be Nuts

The Camp Clarke Players were back and better than ever, on stage after a year’s hiatus.

This year’s comedy, written and directed by Bridgeport alum Costa Lapaseotes, was a spin on the Hall of Fame Video Game The Oregon Trail. First released in 1974, the game forced players to “ration food, hunt, trade, and ford rivers,” while trying to survive with their wagon train.

If ever you played the game, you most likely died of dysentery somewhere before you reached the new frontier.
