Anthology
SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY,
a play based on the poems of
Edgar Lee Masters, will be
presented by Stage and Script
tonight in Howard Chapel, and
on May 14, 15. Curtain time for
performances will be 8 p.m. The
play concerns itself with the
different lives of several
townspeople of Spoon River at
the turn of the century. The
characters are dead and talk of
their lives. Having lived in a
small town they are mostly
regretful they did not live dif
ferently. The picture above
shows, Fran Mercer, one of the
female members of the cast, in a
setting typical of the tempo of
the production. Mike Raper and
Cynde Mercer add zest and
atmosphere with their folk
songs.
