When it comes to playing the game show "Jeopardy," it's best to brush up on your Shakespeare. Mt. Lebanon High School sophomore Christopher Weis isn't doing a whole lot of cramming in anticipation of his trip to California next month. But he did find a recent purchase at Barnes and Noble helpful: a little flow-chart of Shakespeare plots and characters.
"Hey, it works," said Christopher, who will be one of 15 contestants in the Oct. 6-7 teen tournament. It will be taped in Sony's Culver City studios. "At the auditions, there was a question about the play, 'As You Like It.' "
The chart came in handy this summer when Christopher and his family went to New York City in November for his in-person tryout. Thousands of teen-age contestants took an online test as the first step toward qualifying.
