The Technical Department works
for all the departments here at NCSA.
In reality they are the backbone of
the theatre. Without them, it would
make our lives in the performing arts
much more difficult than we assume
them to be.
Pictured above are four members
of the Technical Department, who will
receive their BFA degrees this June.
Michael Wiesman is from Hunts
ville, Alabama. He's been here at
NCSA for the past four years and" has
worked on approximately thirty-five

time, he has no definite future plans.

ville, Pennsylvania. Nancy has been
here four years and has worked with
approximately thirty production.

York. She has been here four years
and has worked with thirty-five to

School of Arts Gets
$100,000 Donation
Mrs. Nancy Susan Reynolds has
made a gift of approximately $100,000
to the scholarship fund at the North
Carolina School of the Arts Founda
tion, Inc. The gift was announced by
R.B. Crawford, president of the
foundation.
Crawford said, "Mrs. Reynolds'
very generous gift is not only greatly
appreciated, but it comes at a time
when scholarship funds are especially
needed for students who have been
accepted for the 1970-71 school year.
Also, this gift will put us over the
top in raising the 1969 matching
funds for the Ford Foundation grant
of a million and a half dollars."
Mrs. Reynolds, a native of
Winston-Salem, is the daughter of
the late R.J. Reynolds, founder of
the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. She
makes her home in Greenwich, Conn.
Crawford said, "Mrs. Reynolds
has always kept a keen interest in
her home town, and she has been very
generous in contributing to its wel
fare. We are sincerely grateful for
her interest in the School of the Arts."
