The DTH Feature section is concerned with culture. One of our.
responsibilities, as we see it in our day to day labors, is to report,
review, and encourage cultural activities on campus. Limited only by:
the space we have in each morning paper, we're interested in all kinds',
of culture-and we're going to try to make UNC culture as interesting as
possible for you.
As the DTH has always done, we'll be continuing to review various
cultural events at UNC. Regular Tar Heel reviewers have been assigned
in all the areas we could' think of-plays, concerts, dance, books,
television, movies and art. Our policy, or (as some would say) our goal,
is two-fold: to be as honest and as competent as we can in our
evaluations, and to write them not just for the sake of "higher
criticism" but to tell students what's good on campus they might like
to see. - ,r..
But culture is more than the event itself. Another one of our
responsibilities is to shed insight not only on what is happening but onw
who is making it happen. Feature reporters have been assigned "beats"
at all the major UNC cultural centers, including Hill Hall, the Drama,
Department, RTVMP and Aekland. We're grateful for the response our
reporters have been given by the, departments, and we look forward to
sharing with you the activities and people that contribute to culture at
UNC. .- "
Beginning next week, we will resume our "Insight" series, trying to
give you an in-depth look at a particular subject. We'll be looking
closely at the Fine Arts Festival, Jubilee, and other major events. But
we'll also be ranging into the politics, the problems, the many areas of
campus life we feel of special concern. "Insight" has done well this
year, and we're proud of it. We fyope to make the series even better, as
DTH staff writers spend hours of time and research digging into the
"how's" and "why's" of UNC.
Finally, we plan to gradually expand our coverage to cover
"features" in all aspects of campus life digging below the surface, to
present portraits of the people and organizations that make this campus
what it is. Some things we find will be funny, some will be moving.
Some may even be grim.
But if honest and effort counts, the feature staff of the Tar Heel are
going to be doing their best. Students who like to write and are
interested in what we do are invited to come talk to us. There's always
room for good writers.
With any luck'at all, and with the help and patience of our readers, it
should be a good year.

Feature Writer
Mary George Jester, director of the
Play makers upcoming production of Ron
Cowen's "Summertree," is currently
polishing the play into a relevant, "very
stream-of-consciousness," very simplistic,
and very emotional, family-struggle
experience. The play will be presented in
the Graham Memorial Lounge Theatre on
April 13-18.
"It is a sentimental show. In theatre
today we are leaning away from that. Our
emotions are too controlled. This play
demands a certain amount of
emotionalism."
With non-realistic sets by Sam Allen,
emotion-evoking lighting by Mary Mack
Moore, and contemporary costuming by
Deborah Bloodworth, "Summertree's"
cast of six promises to cover the entire
emotional spectrum. ?
Miss Jester calls it a "drama of
isolation and at the same time a
community thing. Each of the individual
characters has his own personal battles to
Tight."
The conflict, which "takes place
anywhere and anytime," revolves around
the "war within a family." The unnamed
i20-year-old lead character, played by
freshman Randy Jones of Raleigh, evolves
from childhood to age 20 before our eyes
through his "reminiscences." (Spritely

Mike Barnard of Chapel Hill plays the
Young Man as a child.) He faces a father
"(Chapel Hillian Bob Bloodworth) who
-'urges him "to be a man" and a possessive
; mother (Diana Hawfield) who faces the
maternal dilemma of wanting her son to
try out his wings yet desiring just as
strongly that he stay at home. As an
? adjunct to the theme, a combat war
1 impinges on the Young Man and has
'streaming conscience, a dimensional
comment on the family war itself. Dusty
- Staub plays the soldier. And needless to
say, there is also the Young Man's
" girlfriend (Elise Tribble). J
Miss Jester, the first student to dire er a
full-length major Piaymakers' production,
; feels that "Hopefully, students will reliite
to the family struggle. We have attempted
to create humans with the parents. It's
very easy in a play like this to make them
into the bad guys. I don't think 'blame'
can be placed anywhere. It's human
frailty."
As for the director herself, there is no
frailty evident in her manner, appearance,
or style. The former Assistant Head of
the New Projects Department of a Los
Angeles Times affiliated publishing firm
; in Montgomery, Alabama, Miss Jester, her
flaming red hair radiating orange in
contrast to her scarlet-striped turtleneck,
calls herself an all-around director,
working with all phases of the production
from the sets to the players to the lights.
"Let's say I'm an authoritative director,
working on becoming a mood-setter,"
using UNC director Samuel Selden's
categories.
Her previous experience in direction
includes: "Summer and Smoke"
"Oklahoma," "Importance of Being
Earnest," and "Chalk Garden."
Asked if she feels any special
identification with the play and its
performance due to the fact that her age
is closer to that of the actors and the lead
character in the play, Miss Jester replied:
"As far as having any special insights, I
would say only that I chose the play for
its contemporary relevancy." Being a
student seems to have made her more
acutely aware of what emotional

;rsponses students, might- receive from a
;pby and this ' definitely affected her
"choice.
.t. Although the mood of the play wfll
Vacillate between sentimental . and
turbulent, the dialogue is consistently
"natural and contemporary." The two
of us can sit down for coffee, taking the
"themes and threads of the play, and by
talking about them, write the play's
"dialogue."
" The presentation will be thrust-stage,
the audience being on three sides, within
the Graham Memorial Lounge
Theatre -and the accent is on simplicity.
'"We could have gimmiefced up the show,
but in order to keep it simple, we
pinpointed the play by going to
contemporary costuming." She uses
simple lighting, too, "in order to achieve
a certain degree of emotional response.
An added touch includes music, since
the Young Man character in the play
; dreams of becoming a pianist. "We are
"using classical piano selections-Bach and
Mozart."
For those who like their theatre simple
yet raw, strong, emotional, polished and
challenging, 4Summertree" offers a
dramatic change-of-pace. Tickets are on
sale for SI 30 at the Carolina Piaymakers
Business Office in Graham Memorial
Building and at Ledbetter-Pickard in
downtown Chapel HiH. Telephone
