THE LANCE A Weekly Journal of News and Events At St. Andrews Presbyterian College LAURINBURG, north CAROLINA. THURSDAY, MARCH 18,1976. VOLUME 15 NUMBER 20 “The Crucible Open Tonight Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” will be presented by the ffighland Players of St. Andrews Presbyterian College in the Liberal Arts auditorium March 18-21 witii performances beginning at 8 pjQ. each evening. Under the direction of Dr. Arthur McDonald, the pla^ IS being staged in the round with the audience seated on the stage as well as in the house. This play about guilt by association, set in Salem in 1692, had a powerful ap plication to present day America when it was first produced in 1963 in the wake of the congressional probe of un-american activities led by Senator Joseph McCarthy. "I was drawn to this sub ject,” Miller has written, “because the historical manent seemed to give me the poetic right to create people of higher self- awareness than the con temporary scene affords.” “The Crucible” achieves this intenticHi. The drama of Elizabeth and John Proctor, played by Joyce McLennon and Michael Reeve, whose de cision to stand by toe truth in the face o hysteria and false accusations of witchcraft sends John Proctor to the gallows, is as significant for our own day as for the seventeenth century. I Hckets are available at the box office or by calling 276- 2652, extension 204. THE hysteria of the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials is portrayed here by members of the Highland Players’ production of “The Crucible.” The play begins tonight and runs until Sunday.

Mr. Smith is Assistant Professor of Art at the College, llie exhibition will contain works produced within the last few years since Professor Smith began his “Anatomy Lesson” series and won “Best of Show” at the Allied Arts exhibition in Durham. The epoxy and fiberglass, plaster and con crete artworks to be shown in Laurinburg include pieces which toured in the “National Sculpture ’74” show and which were seen in Smith’s recent one-man show in Roanoke, Virginia, and the ST. AN DREWS REVIEW Benefit in New York City. In addition to being present for the opening, Professor Smith will also present a short gallery talk about his work. The topic of the talk will be “The Relationship Between Pictorial and Sculptral Space in Relief Sculpture” which is also the subject of a workshop/demonstration Pro fessor Smith is conducting this week at Duke University. In speaking of Smith’s work, Walter Hathaway, Director of the Roanoke Fine Arts Center in Roanoke, Virginia, says, “The average attitude toward sculpture is one of expecting ‘monument statues’ or small objects d’art. Mark Smith’s works are neither, yet both. Fragments of the human form appear to have come from monumental works. The sen sitive and intelligent way in which Smith has selected protions of the human form and isolated them from the rest of the subject is very powerful and sensual...far from being simply ‘planes’ these works are brilliant cominations of the problems an artist encounters in two- dimensional picture making and three-dimensional design.” The opening of the Sunday exhibit wUl be at 2:00 p.m., lasting until 4:00 p.m., in the art gallery of the Vardell Music Building. The talk will be at 3:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend.
