Page 6 THE LANCE NOVEMBER 20, ANDREWS I. "• T The Glass Menagerie Tennessee Williams classic American drama, The Glass Menagerie, will be presented for three perfor mances at 8:00 p.m. in the Liberal Arts Auditorium on November 20, 21 and 22 (Fri day, Saturday and Sunday) by the Highland Players of St. Andrews Presbyterian College. The production is under the direction of William Petersen, St. An drews Theatre Program’s artist-in-residence. Clint Werner portrays the character of Tom Wingfield, who serves as narrator for the drama as well as a prin cipal figure in the story. Tom helps to evoke the cHmate of memory that pervades throughout the stprv of his mother, Amanda (Sue Calkins), a former Southern belle who tries to govern her grown children by constantly recalling standards of her own girlhood, and of his sister, Laura (Ruth Carter), a shy, slightly crippled girl who finds refuge in the imaginary kindgom of her glass animal collection. The quartet of Williams’ character is completed with the entrance of Jim (Carl Maclntye), a friend of Tom. Jim is the “gentleman caller” that Amanda wants to court Laura and rescue the family from the bonds of the present and lead them to the memories of a fantasy world. The Glass Menagerie has been acclaimed as Tennessee Williams’ finest play and as a landmark work in the development of the American Theatre and it has been translated into every major language in the world. William Peterson, the director, is currently involv ed in the experimental work^ of the off-off-Broadway theatre in New York City. As an actor Mr. Peterson created the role of M. de la Forge in the American premiere of Star at the Stake by Hungarian playwright, Andras Suto. He has per formed with the Threshold Theatre Company at the Col onnades Theatre Lab, with the Drama Committee Rep Theatre, and was recently seen in a double-bill of plays at the 18th Street Playhouse.

Jane Goco presents wood sculpture By RENEE SWEENEY Let’s have life, let’s not be clever, let’s be honest. —J. Goco Jane Goco has honored this campus with her “positive celebration of life. “In Vardell Art Gallery, her huge Mahogany celebration is on display now. It is on these panels that Goco has superimposed her ‘’life energy” manifesting “something glorioius, the natural rhythm and order of things.” There are three pieces representing six to nine mon ths of work days, which start right after her five children are in school and end only when she is physically ex hausted. The material value of these three pieces is about ten thousand dollars each. The aesthetic value lies in their ability to entice one into the Goco celebration of life forms and rhythms. The entire surface of the panels breathes and rippleS' Wood is alive to Goco, as she says, “Think of it breathing, moving, still alive.” Into this living element, Goco imposes another landscape element, and this imposition is ecuted without automation of any kind. The result is a wood relief sculpture, ® which pulsations must be contained in a frame. Theeti- ticement is complete when it compels its viewere-to touch, so that they might unders tand. To the student body at S ■ Andrews, Goco has gi'’®" visual literacy: “Stay wit your dream. Don’t let mun dane things in life take i away, persevere.” Than you Jane Goco.
