thrilled to be playing the role, es-
jieciallv so since she has had no
dramatics here. Her performance
certainly jiromises to be a com
mendable one.
Another new face will be that of
Arden Fobes, playing the part of
Ismene. Arden, a junior from
Southern] Pines, received her stage
exjiericnce in jiroductions in her
high school. Her role of Antigone s
vounger sister calls for skill and
adaptibility, and her performance
should lie a good one.
Taking the other female roles are
Nancy Scigling and Libbey Hatley.
Nanev, taking the jiart of Anti
gone’s faithful and loving nurse,
has had much e.xperience in the
dramatic productions at St. Alary’s.
Libby jilays the role of the queen.
The male performances promise
to be as good as, if not better than,
the previous iiroductions. Charles
Faust, now an old friend at St.
Alary’s, jrlays the part of Creon,
the king. Charles was terrific in
•■Skin of Our Teeth,” and his forth
coming role again calls for skill and
vcrsitality. An exciting newcomer
is Gene Shore, playing the fiance
of Antigone. Gene is well-versed
in the arts of the theater and is a
dancer as well as a dramatic actor.
He has the distinction of having
danced for three years in the Broad
way production of “Kismet.”
