America’s unique theatri cal company, the Everyman Players, is currently on its sixth national tour. This well known company which pos sesses a long established inter national reputation for origi nal achievement and artistry, will bring its new touring pro duction of Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST to Brevard Col lege on November 4, 1972. The performance is scheduled for 8:15 P. M. at Dunham Mu sic Building Auditorium. This is not the first time for this group to perform at Bre vard College. They were here several years ago in the “Book of Job” and “The Tortoise and the Hare.” This wiU be their first appearance with us in a Shakespearian production. The Everyman Player’s current tour production of THE TEMPEST is the culmi nation of 15 years of plan ning. Orlin Corey, Produc er/director of the Everyman Players and his wife, Irene, company designer, first pro duced the play flifteen years ago when they were teach ers. Since that time they have been gathering ideas and evaluating their original staging in order to create an entirely new and spectacular production of the great Eliza bethan drama. On stages across the country, THE TEM PEST now unfolds as a hauntingly poetic and mystical adventure featuring a kaleido scope of color, sound and movement set in a magic and mysterious underwater won- derworld. Music for the production has been especially composed by Dutch - American composer Jo han Franco. Through the elec tronic magic of the Moog syn thesizer, Franco has created a ises to thrill the audiences and offer them sights not easily forgotten. In addition to THE TEMPEST, the Everyman Players 1972 - 73 national tour includes a revival of the highly acclaimed produc tion of Alan Broadburst’s THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE. For the third successive year on the road, the two heroes of THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE will race pell mell across the country bringing the jet age farce to children of all ages. The production recently enjoy ed a five month international tour which included six weeks in Western Europe where it made the Everyman Players the first American theatre company to appear before the Bienalle Festival of Venice and the Inter national Association of Theatre for Youth. From Venice to Ams terdam, from Milano to London, there was a solid record of ova tions and the highest press ac claim for the Everyman Players and its production of THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE. Tour audiences will also have the opportunity to view the Everyman Players’ pro duction of John Bunyan’s PIL GRIM’S PROGRESS. TUs elaborate production, adapted by Orlin Corey and original ly staged to rave reviews in 1970, will be making its first national tour. The imaginative Medieval staging with its 78 characters, its 36 foot long dragon, its 9 foot tall giant and its chorus of celestial bodies makes PILGRIM’S PROGRESS an adventure packed theatrical experience for family audiences in some three dozen major cities in the western half of the Unit ed States.

Sasser, President ^ Irene Corey has created some of her most imaginative and elaborate costumes to date for THE TEMPEST. Through sheer skills and other translucent, flowing fabrics she has costumed the under water world of Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, his spirit slave Ariel, the fish/man creature Calaban and the ra diant Miranda. Into this mag- is Atlantis Isle come the Us- surping Duke of Milan and his royal chorts dooned in fforthy Elizabethan court costumes. Through her own brand of theatrical magic, Irene Corey has created a visual produc tion full of surprises for view ers everywhere. THE TEMP EST contains many of the Ev eryman Players most spectacu lar stage illusions and prom- duction company into a fully professional touring repertory company The company has eight plays in its repertoire in cluding, in addition to those plays on the current tour, THE BOOK OF JOB, ROMANS BY SAINT PAUL, REYNARD THE FOX, DON QUIXOTE DE LA MANCHA AND Sophodles’ ELECTRA. Well behind a decade since its inception, the Everyman Players have taken their uni que brand of theatre onto the stages of four continents and the television screens of Eur ope, Africa, North and South America The company does not believe in mundane thea tre and around the world it has performed onstage its be lief in faith and joy. The current tour productions of THE TEMPEST, staged as a medieval adventure and THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE produced as a frantic cartoon for the entire family are per fect examples of the Every man Players’ philosophy of life and theatre. The Coreys have traveled well over 200,000 miles with the Everyman Players. Many of the actors work together for three, five, seven, even twelve years or more. This allows for a continual growth within the company; a maturation which reaches a dramatic peak in the current productions of THE TEMPEST, THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE and PIL GRIM’S PROGRESS. SUL Takes Stand Editors note; Speech by Win Alexander to the student body of Bre vard College, November 1, -1972, stating the concern of_ the sudents about the re cent Trustee Decision. Brevard College is in danger! Ten years ago, Brevard Col lege was a people - oriented in stitution. Many of our best professors were attracted here at this time. Even four to five years ago, there was a definite emphasis on personal relation ships. The concept of the people oriented institution' is now in danger at Brevard college—be cause of drastic increase in classroom size and faculty- student ratio. Our concept of personal education is being al tered to one of economic conven ience and personal opportunity for a small minority of people in the college community. We are seemingly moving toward an effort to recruit new students of a singular background rather than stud ents from plural backgrounds, the input of which is so vitally important for a dynamic educa tional experience. This is a concern not only for the faculty who are immed iately affected — but — even more so for the student who will eventually suffer the brunt of the burden of these un fortunate circumstances.
