"Arms and the Man.” one of
George Bernard Shaw’s most
successful plays, will be the
final production of the season
for Stage and Script of Atlantic
Christian College. Performances
are scheduled for April 28
through May I. in Howard
Chapel, on the college campus.
Shaw, who is considered one
of the most brilliant satirists in
the theatre, taices aim at the
romanticism of war and war
heroes, in this play nothing
worlts as the romantics say it
should.
The leading man. Captain
Bluntschli played by Bob Poole
of Fayetteville, a professional
soldier considerably more inter
ested in saving his sicin than
l>eing a hero, carries chocolates
instead of bullets in his car
tridge belt.
Raina Petiioff, the heroine,
played by Diane Schuermann of
Andrews Air Force Base, Md..
has noble bearing and a thrilling
voice, but she is an unconscion
able liar.
The cliche romantic hero,
portrayed by Jeff Batchelor of
Rocky Mount, is a fool in
practical situations. Although
he pretends the loftiest love for
Raina, he makes love to the
servants whenever he has the
opportunity.
Also appearing in the produc
tion are Robin Lee Sellers of
Fayetteville, and Frank Allen
Silverthorne of Washington, as
Raina’s parents; Patti Fahling of
Sims and Hugh Johnston IV of
Wilson as servants in the Pet-
koff house; and Artonyon In
gram of Fremont as a Russian
officer.
Shaw's rapier-like wit expos
es the foibles of these delightful
creatures and gives them the
opportunity to realign their lives
on a more practical foundation.
Paul H. Crouch directs the
production, with sets and lights
by designer/technical director
Dennis L. McDowell, while Sue
Arnold is responsible for cos
tumes.
Curtain time is 8 p.m. Wed
nesday through Saturday, on
the college campus. Tickets are
available at the door.
