In which direction should you point
the car this evening if you seek a quiet
30-minute cruise through the North
Carolina countryside followed by a
professional performance of
Shakespearean comedy?
Head toward Snow Camp, N.C., in
scenic southern Alamance County
about 20 miles west of Chapel Hill for all
the drive and drama you want for
only $1, plus gas.
The Sword of Peace Outdoor
Repertory Company is offering this
special discount price to UNC students
with ID for the last performance in their
1978 summer season of Shakespeare's
As You Like It.
Three members of the master of fine
arts program of the Carolina
department of dramatic art have spent
the summer performing at the historic
town. One of the students, Anne Liske,
said the cast offers "good productions
that could easily draw a larger student
audience." She said the play not only
gave performers valuable training but
was a "stimulating experience" for
audiences as well.
The players claim their classic love
comedy of Rosalind and Orlando, Celia
and Oliver, will "conquer all souls with
laughing delight." So if you enjoy the
charm of a good Elizabethan fantasy,

you'll love watching "sweet Rosalind"
woo Orlando with her gentle wit and
. Celia, dressed as a shepherdess, win
the love of the once-evil Oliver.
The play's Arden Forest setting is
ideally suited to Snow Camp's theater in
the woods. But the company said one of
its worst problems in the past has been
"convincing people we're in their own
backyards."
To get to the Snow Camp theater,
take Jones Ferry Road out of town one
mile. After crossing Highway 54 turn at
the sign pointing right to Greensboro.
Drive 20.9 miles to Allen's store on the
left and travel eight-tenths of a mile to
the first right. The theater is three
tenths of a mile on the right. If you have
trouble, you can call the box office at
376-6948. "
Once in Snow Camp, you can
observe local craftsmen at work and
view their finished products on display
in the Craft Gallery. Also, the Snow
Camp Community Museum helps
visitors relive a little of the
Revolutionary War period which made
the town famous, the community takes
pride that the village is not much larger
today than it was when Cornwallis
camped his army there after the Battle
of Guilford Courthouse.
The company's regularfeature, The
Sword of Peace, was written by UNC
faculty member and former Playmaker
William Hardy and is set during the
Revolutionary, period. The drama
portrays the conflict between patriots,
Tories and the Quaker population of
the area who refused to fight on the
basis of religious conviction.
A final performance of The Sword of
Peace will close the summer season
Saturday night. Students are welcome
to attend the historical drama, but they
must pay the regular admission of either
$3.50 or $4.50.
