Will Offer
Variety
' By JUDI PETERSON
Variety is the password, with
a comedy, mystery, and realis
tic fantasy filling out the bill
of one-act plays to be present
ed by Stage and Script Dec. 12
J and 13.
I'l Not only are the plays unique,
-but the directors are also —
two of them are students. Ed-
Oiward Albee, “The American
(, Dream” is the comedy and is
f( being directed by Paul Crouch;
Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” is the
s mystery directed by Judi Peter-
„ son and Jackie Keen is directing
j, “Impromptu,” the realistic fan-
, tasy written by Tad Mosel,
ij The various plots include a
j satirization of middle class be-
, havior, an improvisation of real
[ life by actors who have no
. script, and the problem of who
killed John Wight. All in all,
the plays offer a chance for ev
eryone to see the type of drama
■ he likes best, with characters
ranging from a grandmother who
deliberately hides things — in
cluding a room — so mommy
and daddy can’t find them, to
an actor who hates the stage
to two rather sly, yet sympa-
.thetic, women who gradually un-
Icover clues to a murder.
All in all, the plays offer a
chance for everyone to see the
/type of drama he likes best. Cur-
,tain time is 8:15 in Howard
Chapel,

the document for that reason,

Woodard St. is not proposed.”
