Bigger and better than
ever has been the motto
of the Elon Players dur
ing the Modern Era,which
got underway in 1960 and
has continued through the
current decade. As the
Decade of the ‘Sixties’
nears its close, the cam
pus dramatic program
has developed tothe point
where there are two full
time faculty members in
charge of stage activities.
The 1959-60 season,
still under the direction
of Prof. Mel Wooten,
brought three plays, a
musical and a Player-
sponsored variety show.
The plays presented that
year include Patrick Ha
milton’s “Angel Street,”
Eugene O’Neill’s “Ah,
Wilderness,” and a great
showing of Shakespeare’s
“Othello.”
The musical show was

won wide acclaim on
Broadway. The “Eppie”

The costuming for the
Moliere show was hailed
as especially beautiful,

best leading roles went

jor supporting roles went
to Rosalie Radcliffe from
the Moliere show and to

work in “The Rainmak

for his acting as a begin
ner in both shows.

was introduced by a stell
ar production of Arthur
Willmuth’s “Noah,” a
production based on the
Biblical story of the flood.
This show, like the mo
liere production of the
previous year, was hail
ed for its beautiful and
authentic costuming.
Also presented that
year were three one-
act plays, all directed by
student dramatics ma
jors. These one-act plays
were Thornton Wilder’s
“The Happy Journey to
Camden and Trenton,”
William Saroyan’s “Hello
Out There’” and Arthur
