Lomax Greensboro Hosts National Theatre Last month was an exciting one for Greensboro theatre goers. This city played host to an event of national significance to the theatre and to education. The theatre-lecture series of TJNC-G sponsored the visit of the Nation al Repertory Theatre which con sisted of half a hundred actors^ designers, directors and techni cians who came to North Carolina to complete their final prepara tions for NRT’s 1963-64 National Tour. A busy schedule of rehears als, seminars and student training was laid out, culminating in the first public performances. The idea of repertory is to pre sent a group of plays in alternate performances. In speaking to a small group of students after the performance of “The Crucible,’^ Farley Granger commented on the fact that repertory offers more of a challenge than a Broadway run. Other members of the cast were in agreement with Mr. Granger. In fact, Mrs. Frances Ann Dougherty and Mr. Michael Dewell found that the response among perform ers was so great that they had no problem in organizing a company. Eva le Gallienne, who was a star in the first NRA tour in 1961-62, is, now. Fit the of tlio. pany, which also includes Farley Granger and Anne Meacham. MisS Le Gallienne ranks as an histori cal pioneer. She was quoted in The New York Post as having said, “America needs variety. Our com mercial theatre is very narrow in range; it’s as if you were to limit your library only to best sellers. I was 35 years ahead of my time," she says, referring to the Civic Repertory Theatre she used to. run from 1926-1932 where she staged innumerable fine plays, with excellent players, and at ex tremely modest prices. The tour includes three plays. Miss Le Gallienne’s new adap tation of Chekhov’s “The Sea gull” is one of them, and she also directs and plays the role of Ma dame Arcadina. The other plays are Jean Anouilh’s Ring ’Round the Moon” and Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” Granger played Concantine in “The Seagull,” the twins in Anouilh’s comedy and Proctor in Miller’s drama. Miss Meacham portrayed Nina in Chek hov, Lady India in the Anouilh and Elizabeth Proctor in the Mil ler. Bennett College was fortunate- in having one of the members of the company, Osceola Archer, to speak in a chapel program. Miss Archer was once dramatic instruc tor here and she returned to the college to present the Little Thea ter Guild with a plaque won by the organization when it was un der her direction. She urged per sons interested in the theatre to continue to pursue this interest and she told the dramatic story of her own success. Tre National Repertory Theatre now moves on to the twenty cities included in its tour. Plans include the major cities of Boston, Chica go, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Washington and Wil mington. .J
