"She Stoops to Conquer," by
Oliver Goldsmith is the first pro-
djiction of the 1968-1969 season

of the North Carolina School of the
Arts.
Three preview performances

night was Friday, November 22.

the Sunday evening performance,
December 1, will be at 7:00 p.m.
The play is being presented in
the drama theater at the School of
the Arts. Reservations should be
made since the theater is limited
in seating capacity. (Telephone
723-2717, Tuesday through Sunday
from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m.).
"She Stoops to Conquer" or
"The Mistake of A Night" was first
produced in London in 1773. The
opening night audience roared with
laughter, and audiences have been
doing the same ever since. The
play is recognized as one of the
great English comedies with strong
situation humor. It is a mixture
of high comedy and low farce with
warm, likable characters.
The production is directed by
Dolores Ferraro, associate director
of the School of Drama. The sets
are designed by Michael Hotopp and
costumes by Agnes Lattak. Both are
faculty members of the hew depart
ment of Design and Production

Allegri Quartet
Performs Tonight
The Allegri String Qu^tet will
perform tonight at 8:15 p.m. in the
Main Auditorium of the School of the
Arts. The concert is part of the
Wake Forest Chamber Music Society
which is sponsored by the North Car
olina School of the Arts, Salem
College, and Wake Forest University.
The Allegri String Quartet,
which made its debut in London in
February, 1954, takes its name from
Gregorio Allegri (1582 - 1652), re
puted to be the first composer ever
to write for a quartet of strings.
The four musicians - each a virtuoso
in his own right - together comprise
one of the finest string groups to
be heard today. Their large and va
ried repertoire finds them equally
at home in the music of the older
masters as with twentieth-century
composers.
They will perform the Quartet
in.C Major, K.465, by Mozart, Quar
tet No. 2 by Britten and Quartet in
D Minor, op. Posth. by Schubert.
Free tickets are available to
