In a high hospital bed at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, 9-year-old
Adriana Andrade lies propped on pillows, a bright blue stuffed bear on the bedrail above. Her face is pale and anxious, and only a few soft wisps remain of her dark hair. She seems to have shrunk under the weight of reality, which at present consists mostly of a disease with the ponderous name of Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. But then a little piece of magic happens. The door opens to admit two smiling people — this time not doctors or nurses come to do procedures. They are wearing regular hang-out clothes and their mood is decidedly playful. The tall guy with merry blue eyes and a two-week red beard has a propen-sity for making outrageous faces.

nizations, including the Sand Hill Foundation, American Century Foundation, and ALZA Corp. It’s now being developed as a repli-cable program for other hospitals. “This program touches kids in such an immediate way,” Ms. Sutton said. “We get very positive feedback from parents, doctors and nurses.”
Transformations On one morning, Mr. Champlin and Ms. Chambers are gearing up for a session with a group of a half-dozen children at the Lucile Packard School. At this school, three teachers from the Palo Alto Unified School District help stu-dents keep up with lessons while recuperating from operations, awaiting organ transplants, or undergoing treatments for cancer, cystic fibrosis or lupus. First, Mr. Champlin suggests they think about becoming their favorite food: a taco with cheese and lettuce, for example. Miming a taco is quite a challenge, but the kids have no problem with it. “I’m an orange,” says one small girl dressed all in pink and still attached to her IV. “Oh, I thought you wanted to be a pink,” says Mr. Champlin without missing a beat. “I would be a banana split — but not a split banana.” As Mr. Champlin likes to tell the kids, they have three tools that all actors use: imagination, body, voice. Having become tacos, pizzas and apples, the younger children warm up their faces. Mr. Champlin, who uses his own mobile face to sometimes hilarious effect, tells the kids to open their faces as wide as they can — then to close them up as tight as possible. (Making faces can feel as good as exercise to a
child who is unable to move much, and even immune-compromised patients wearing masks join in.) Soon, there’s laughter, clapping and squeals of delight. Then there’s a scenario involving some bizarre characters in a grocery store. A star of the scene is a “poopin’ puppy” (the epithet got tacked on when the word “puppy” came out a bit distorted) played by Logan Sopeland, who is awaiting a heart transplant. But for now he’s down on all fours, beaming. So is his brother, Trent. It’s not just the kids who benefit. Troy Melton is watching his pink-clad daughter, Kayla Rose, smile for the first time since an acute infection almost shut down her liver. “It’s good to see her interacting. Last week she was as pale as a ghost,” said Mr. Melton, who drove here from Merced with his wife when they realized their daughter was seriously ill. When Ms. Chambers asks the kids if they’d like one more game, Kayla is the first to respond. According to Mr. Champlin, a kid’s entire physical attitude can change in just 10 to 15 seconds when he or she becomes completely engaged in an activity like this. “We see kids on the brink of tears start laughing,” said Cammy Sunde, who teaches the elementary class at Lucile Packard. “We’ve even had kids in excruciating pain who wanted to come.”
Merry chaos Whether in the classroom or at a bedside, Mr. Champlin and Ms. Chambers deftly engage children at whatever level they’re at, sometimes bringing whole families into improvisations. “We have a loose plan, but have to take into account who’s in the group, and their physical and mental condition,” said Ms.
Chambers, an actress who has a degree in psychology with a concentration in drama therapy. Sometimes, a child takes on the role of director, while the two actors play out zany scenes concocted by all of them together. “We might be two cowboys, on the beach, eating pizza. The kid can tell us to rewind, go back in time and do it again, or they have the power to stop it,” Ms. Chambers said. This sense of control is thera-peutic, Ms. Sunde said. “Here they have some power. In the hospital they don’t have that.” That sense sometimes comes through what appears to be merry chaos. At a session with junior high and high school students, levels of absurdity skyrocket as Mr. Champlin and a boy wearing a dress-up wig transform themselves into conjoined twins dancing and panicking at a McDonald’s in space — while improvising a dialogue that includes the words “chocolate,” “flabbergasted,” and “zap!” Even a couple of students who started the session looking skeptical succumb to hilarity. “This really brings kids out of their shell: Kids who are unhappy, depressed and withdrawn can forget their problems,” hospital high school teacher Kathy Ho said. Barbara Sourkes, director of pediatric palliative care at Packard, is also a program supporter. “The biggest challenge for a child with any kind of medical condition is to try and be a nor-mal child and not become the illness,” she said. “Even the par-ents sometimes lose sight of (that) because they’re so worried. But TheatreWorks (and all the arts) cut right through and go to the essence of the person.” A

Fine acting lends depth to MP festival’s ‘Julius Caesar’By Karen MacLaughlinSpecial to the Almanac
In his director’s notes to the playbill, Bruce W. De Les Derni-er presumes upon a very old
friendship with “Will” for leave to combine characters and alter lines in order to accommodate the number and gender of his cast in the Mid-Peninsula Shakespeare Festival’s “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.” He does so seamlessly. In this thorough, yet economical, production, the principals all perform wholeheartedly and well, but it is the supporting roles that lend the performance its depth. Leslie Newport, as Caesar’s canny wife, Calphurnia, exudes a nobility and grace that rivals the late Agnes Moorehead. Eric Lyness, as Lucius, is thoroughly moving in his devotion to his mistress, and Josh Parees, as Senator Decius Brutus, grimaces and gestures his disappointment with terrific comic effect. I almost spilled my free cocoa. Martin A. David raises goose-bumps as the accurate Sooth-sayer (“Beware the Ides!”) and D. Michael Kane draws us the perfect
gangster in Senator Cinna. His death scene is a classic. Sara Trupski and Katie Chaidez flirt and flatter their ways con-vincingly through Trebonius’ and Metellus Cimber’s lines.
Casca, played a little too self-consciously in the first act by Rachel Bakker, gains more of our trust by the end and Alison Plott plays Portia with an exquisitely tender savagery. At all times, Mark D. Pickens keeps the plot moving as the ambitious Cassius. His role car-ries the greatest burden of inter-preting antique language for a modern audience, which included children stretched out in sleeping bags on the lawn. Director De Les Dernier is unwavering as the turncoat Bru-tus. Todd Wright is largely like-
able as Mark Antony, but is not as clear in his motivation, especially during the bloodied-hand recon-ciliation with Caesar’s assassins, and James Mantell struts his way across the stage in the title role. Presented in modern dress, with a draper’s nod to ancient
Rome, this very profes-sional production keeps us on the edge of our seats, wrapped in the blankets the staff has provided to keep out the cool, night air. The whole atmosphere is very quietly professional. All the festival plays are presented free of charge
and the actors pass a basket after the show. They deserve a gener-ous financial hand. A
In this thorough, yet economical, production, the principals all
perform wholeheartedly and well, but it is the supporting roles that lend the production its depth.

Proposition 65 Warning
L-3 Communications Randtron Antenna Systems operates facilities located at and around 130 Constitution Dr., Menlo Park which uses and emits chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. We do not believe that any person is exposed to these chemicals at levels constituting a health or safety risk. However, we have not made a formal determination that actual exposure levels are below the Proposition 65 -- no significant risk levels for carcinogens or no observable effect levels for chemicals known to cause reproductive harm, and we have not performed a risk analysis to deter-mine the precise amount of exposure that any individual would receive over a 70-year period. Proposition 65 there-fore obligates us to provide this warn-ing to potentially affected individuals. Further information may be obtained by contacting L-3 Communications Randtron Antenna Systems at 650-326-9500, Ext. 427. (Almanac 6/13/07)
