UNC Play is Comedy Francis M. Casey's “Angels Full Front", to be presented in the Chowan auditorium March 30, is a gentle comedy based on life in an Irish-American family 25 years ago. The story centers around Fa Sullivan and his eternal struggle with the four women in his fam ily. It’s a friendly story built arour.d the “battle between the sexes" in the Sullivan family. Pa's ability to smile is something women don’t know how to deal with, especially when he can sit on his doorstep and grin at his own tombstone. “Angels Full Front" is the fourth major production of the Carolina Playmakers this season and their 41st touring show. The play, directed by Harry Davis, was presented at Chapel Hill last week to enthusiastic aucSences including Broadway dramatists and critics. The Playmakei-s last year began placing emphasis on the writing and production ot full-length ' plays and relegating the one-act I play, with which they became j famous, to training exercises and prerequisites to the more pro- ' fessional long plays. The out- j standing production of the group I last year was Robert Armstrong's “Egj'pt Land". This year the ma jor plays written and produced have been Gene McLain's “Inher it the Wind, Sam Hirsch’s "Rep- ple Depple", Mildred Danforth's “The Spirit of Cederhurst” and Joe Stockdale’s “October in Spring.” Outstanding in the cast of the play to be seen here are Jose phine Sharkey of Chapel Hill, a former member of the Ben Greet Players and a veteran of 30 Play- maker tours, who will play the role of Ma Sullivan; and Bruce Strait of Cincinnati who will ap pear as Pa Sullivan. Tickets will be $1. Reserve seals fo rthe first fitfeen rows will be $1.50. Edenton. N. C. March 20—Baptist Student Un ion, Chowan College.
