There will be no admission charged for either production. The play, a recent Pulitzer Prize winner, has been acclaimed for its realistic and well-developed characters. The mother. Beatrice, is an emotional tyrant who often regresses to her childhood for the satisfaction and pleasure she can’t have in the present. Jeannie Alford will play Beatrice, “the loon”. Jeannie has appeared before in a role of such compacted diversity at Meredith; in 1972 she ap peared as Aman la in “The Glass Menagerie”. Beatrice has two daughters who have become emotionally disturbed because of their mother. Tillie, the youngest, will be played by Debbie Baucum. Sharon Ellis will play Ruth, the eldest daughter.

The production will be introducing Meredith’s Peter Rabbit who will be appearing as Peter, the rabbit. Mrs. Linda Bamford, who is directing the play, finds that “the diversity of characters has made Marigolds a challenge to direct and will contribute greatly to the captivating quality of the play.” The play is set in an old store-front which has been converted into a decaying home. Marlene Hart, set designer and technical director of the play is responsible for creating this esthetic corruption on Meredith’s stage. Rebecca Askew, assistant director, has assisted Marlene, Mrs. Bamford, the cast and crew in pulling together this production which according to the director, is “one of the most exciting I have done at Meredith.” Students direct three one-acts; tryouts are slated for March 20 Tryouts for eleven female roles will be held Wednesday March 20, at 6:;; pm in 202 Jones for three one-act plays to be produced here in April.

Junior Marlene Hart will direct Flounder Complex, a two-character drama about an aging woman interviewing a young candidate for the job of a companion. Lilly, the partially blind, elderly lady is critical, bigoted and afraid of people; she has psycho analyzed herself and found that she is like a flounder. The play pivots around Lilly’s paranoid suspicions of Nan, the can didate. When Shakepeare’s Ladies Meet will be directed by senior Pam Faison and has an all-female cast of six. The characters include Portia, Cleopatra, Juliet, Katherine, Ophelia and Desdemona . Juliet’s house provides the setting for a meeting of Shakespeare’s most delightful heroines, who in a tangle of wit and personalities try to teach Juliet the art of love. Eleanor Hill, a senior, will direct Spoon River An thology, a type of modified reader’s theatre in which three males and three females are set in a graveyard about the turn of the last century. Each actor and actress will portray numerous characters who have lived, died and are buried in the hillside in Spoon River.
