Dramateers
Compete In
Chapel Hill
Mrs. Pearle Head of the Stu
dent Center staff is recovering
nicely from a recent fall which
left her with a broken bone in her
foot. She expresses appreciation
for many kindnesses during her
“enforced rest.”
The Dramateers, who received
an “Excellent” rating on the pre
sentation of “Go Down Moses”
at the recent district drama fes
tival in Cullowhee, are showing
their talents at the annual Caro
lina Dramatics Association Fes
tival in Chapel Hill this weekend
with “Cry Freedom,” the story of
a Russian invasion on Mars Hill.
Presented last fall by the
Euthalian Literary Society at its
anniversary program, “Cry Free
dom” is the original work of
former MHC student John Mor
row, who asked the Dramateers
to stage it for him at the festival.
It stars Mayon Weeks and Butch
Suttles.
In other dramatics news, the
casting of the spring operetta,
“The Mikado,” has been delayed
until after the Easter holidays,
but a cast has been selected for
the May Day play.
In a production entitled
“Shakespeare’s Ladies” Mary
Horton will take the role of the
ill-fated lover Juliet, Caroline
Dixon will portray the now-
famous Cleopatra, Betty Shaver
will be Portia, and Mimi Jones
Dvill portray the wicked Desde-
mona.
