How Big Is A Sh oeslring?
By Judy Muldrow
How big is a shoestring? With
only two dollars in the treasury,
Tht* Shoestring Players were form
ed in February 1953 by Cecil Willis
and Kobin French, a former stu
dent of our college.
For awhile things looked darK,
but fate took a hand in the matter.
The public begain to realize that,
the - individuals possessed high
ideals and were working toward
success and perfection in their
work. People came to see the plays .
they presented and commented
ab(jut how creative, interesting, i
and original they were. From near
and far this dramatic group has
iniricued audiences. Their perform
ances have amused or thrilled per
sons to the depths of their souls,
making them return again and
again to see the superb productions
giveii by The Shoestring Players.,
After having encountered much
recognition from the play, "Crystal
Clear.” The Shoestring Players
joined The Eastern Carolina
Dramntic Afisociation. and present
ed a play entitled “Hello Out
There” -it the Drama Festival held
at Atlantic Christian College, lliiy
prodtiction wa; such a miraculous
success, that they used tiie ame
play at the Drama Festival in
Chapel Hill. Here, they bad luck
jnd won a First Place Award.
The director, Cecil Willis, has
been a great asset to this dramatic
group. Not only is be energetic,
ambitious, talented, but experienc
ed as well. He has appeared on
Broadway in such plays as “Our
Town,” and also directed the USO'yf)
American Theatre Wing Produc
tions of “Dear Ruth.” and many
others. At present he directs the
Children’s 'Hieatre of Wilson. His
sole desire has been to establish
a Community Theatre, and this has
been accomplished through his ef
forts to do so.
On August the tenth in Howard
Chapel. The Shoestring Players

presented a remedy entitled "The
Hasty Heart,” All the characters
in this play were wonderful, but
there on( sj>ecific actor that
sto(xi <jut fn>m the rest. His name
WHS Jimmy Hnward. He put emo-
ti«in into his part, and much em-
pha.iis was placi^l on each word
spoken. From the audience's re-
;p >nse this p<Tfi»rmance was great
ly enjoye<t. and anyone who saw
the producti«m will long remember
the dramatic, intense, and superb
acting of Jimmy Howard.
Ano ther play recently given on
our campus by the same group
was ••(Ihostj: ” The cast includi*d
Jerry Hall. Frank Toothman, Ce
cil Willis. Kvelyn Yionoulis. and
Jimmy Howard. This play wa*
N/iid to have excelled the previous
one. The entire cast is to be con
gratulated for a most magnificent
' performance.
Hc»wever. The Sho«*string Players
in addition to these two plays are
I planning on many more prcxiuc-
, ti<ms, such as ”Macl)eth.” “Lifr
' With Falhi r,” and others.
They present a radio show over
! Station WVOT each week on the
^ Masti rworks Theatre, on Monday
evening at nine thirty.
