A Final and Fond Performance by Paul Zinke and BC Press Release A wonderful production took place at the Bam Theater recently. The Brevard College Drama Department performed a spectacular show called “Lilies of the Field” on April 1,2,3, and 4. Adapted to the stage by F. Leslie Howard and based on the novel by William E. Barrett, The Lilies of the Field” told a touching and warmly humorous story of a discharged army soldier, Homer Smith, who decides to travel alone in the Westem United States, working at odd jobs here and there to pay his way across the country. He encounters a group of nuns one day, and, despite his intentions to move on, becomes drawn into their lives and their dream of building a chapel. The task is long and burdensome, though, and Homer finally decides to leave the nuns and continue on his odyssey. Mother Maria Marthe has higher hopes for Homer and the chapel, however, and continues to believe that Homer, sent by God to help the nuns, will return to complete the chapel. The story is one of a legend created by the faith of the nuns and the inner strength of Homer, a simple man who when called upon for help gives of himself unselfishly. It is a cute story in the “little theater” style, with no huge backdrop, no singularly big scenes, and a modest cast size. This makes it the perfect play for the Drama Department’s last performance in the Bard Theater. A small production for a sweet farewell to the quaint little stage that has been resourceful for so long. The Drama Department will move its shows to the Paul Porter Performing Arts building, marking a new level of excellence for die depart ment. Robert White, the head of the Drama Department, feels good about moving to the larger facility. The cast did an excellent job of entertaining those who went to see the show. The future of the Drama Department looks bright and exciting as the col lege moves toward the new millennium. Kevin WlMiams as Homer and Mindy Harden as Mother Maria Martiic t a dress rehearsal...
