When all the four men end up in Ephesus at the same time, the result is filled with co-medic co-medic antics and creates a hilarious hi-larious concoction of chaos and slapstick humor. Though none of the four actors playing the two sets of twins are identical, the actors, Nate Old-royd Old-royd (Antipholus of Syracuse), Zach Puckett (Antipholus of Ephesus), Ryan Noll (Dromio of Syracuse), and Freddy Woods (Dromio of Ephesus) have overcome over-come the obstacle by their fresh youthful wit of humorous improvisations impro-visations and mannerisms.

The number of lots to be developed devel-oped has been raised from 47 to 60; the road access will not go through Maple Canyon unless the city pays the $2 million excess ex-cess costs, and the access up Maple Ma-ple Street will be 56 feet wide, with 40 feet of asphalt. Gibby explained that he was requesting these changes because be-cause of increased costs, including includ-ing costs for lost opportunities, while the original MOU went through at least five extensions. He also stated that he believed his "legal odds have improved in the last year." Council member Brian Wall reminded Gibby that the city had been willing to stand by the original MOU and had not been "stone-walling or delaying," but had been blocked themselves from moving forward, in part due to the referendum issue that went before the courts.
