PHOTO: CAMPBELL Two one act plays. Mars Hill College's 1975-76 season debut, are currently being produced in Owen Theatre by the col- lege's Drama Depart ment . The two plays have a wide range of characters in both casts, surprising since both the plays are rather short and center around one or two main characters. Both of the plays are up to the excellent standards set ’by the department in prev ious productions and serve to showcase a wealth of new talent. The first play. Sorry, Wrong Number, is a classic suspense piece. Written by Lucille Fletcher for British radio, the work was first pdr- formed by Agnes Moorehead in a long soliloquy. Rewritten for the stage, the cast has expanded to 11. However, most of the additional characters are minor and serve as much for the visual aspect of the total play as for additional dialogue. The play still cen ters around Mrs. Stevenson, an invalid for 12 years. She is inadvertently patched into a telephone call between a murderer and the man who is hiring him. Her sub sequent frustration at the telephone com pany's and the pol ice's ineffectiveness builds until she real izes that she has been describing her house and herself. From' then on the ten sion builds. This is an excellent play and Susan Poovey, as Mrs. Stevenson, is good for the part. The difficulty in playing the part is not so much the tension or hysteria, but being a late middle-age lady who is hysterical. Once you accept Miss, Poovey in the" part, then her acting is superb. All of the additional parts are Nov. 2-7 DANCE OF THE SOUL Spain has a very rich heritage of mu sical folklore. One example is the "cante jondo" or flamenco. The origin of Flamen co dancing is rather hazy .because it con tains Oriental, Je wish, and Arab cha racteristics . The province of Andalucia is the home of the Flamenco but Madrid claims most of the troupes of gyp sies who perform in nightclubs starting at 11:00 p.m. nightly and continuing on in to the early hours of the morning. The Flamenco is .a dance of the soul, an interpretive art that does not have a phi losophy except for the expression of feeling through move ment . Look for Spanish food and entertain ment in the cafete ria during this week. iOLE! well played and in clude: Mr. Stevenson, Den Wilson; George, Jan Abbott; Sgt.Duf^ Keith Sargent; Hos pital Attendant, Anne Silver; Western Union Operator, jm Stevenson;and several telephone operators played by Patricia Huckabee, Paula Davenport, Serena Bell, Linda Old, and Janis Rhinehart. The play is well staged and credit Is due to Dr. Virgil Gray, who both de signed the sets for the two plays and di rected them as well. In between the plays the audience is trea ted to a set'change.
