Carolina ‘Conquers’
By Richard L. Coe
Washington, D.C., May 9: North
Carolina's unique and recent crea
tion (during Tarry Sanfords gover
norship) School of the Arts last
night proved its value with a hand
some production of "She Stoops to
Conquer" at Ford's, where there will
be two more performances today, at
2 and 7:30.
Under Dolores Ferraro's direc
tion, the settings and lighting by
Michael Hotopp are immensely hand
some and the music by Keith Gates
for harpsichord, flute, oboe, vio
lins and bassoon completes the
sense of detailed production from a
venture the other 49 states might
consider with envy.
This exhibition of what is go
ing on in ten of the hundreds of
theatre-training colleges across the
country is surely one of the sev«=!ral
values of the American College Thea
ter Festival.
Nearing its 200th birthday.
Goldsmith's comedy attracted another
of those youthful audiences which
are increasingly discovering the
Festival. Not only did it laugh in
the right places but also accepted
Goldsmith's pre-Freudian insight
that some people (in this case,
young Charles Marlow) are romanti
cally awkward with those they think
of as their peers but relaxed and
frolicsome with social inferiors.
The play proceeds iirgely
through duets and here the varied
pairings showed what actors know and
audiences usually ignore, as they
should: That acting can be properly
compared to ping-pong. David Wood
