Following the film, Mrs. Margaret Whitman will speak on women in China and recent political developments. MacLaine selected eleven young liberal American women to go to China with her for the filming. Margaret Whitman, the twelfth woman selected, was totally different from the others. Not only is she white-haired, but she's a conservative Republican with a Boston accent. MacLaine and four women filmmakers shot almost 100,000 feet of film. The result is a hilarious montage of the reactions of the American women to what they saw. Whitman is an expert on women in China. She has been active in Planned Parenthood and equal rights movements. She will tell of her meeting with Teng Hsiao-ping, deposed "capitalist roader" premier, the banquet at the Great Hall of the People and the event at Tien-An Men Square where Hua Kuo-feng was acclaimed Party Chairman to succeed Mao Tse-Tung.

We know that all good things must come to an end eventually; it is our good fortune that the Playmakers have metamorphosed into a true professional theater group the Playmakers Repertory Company (PRC). The Playmakers were largely a student oriented amateur group, giving students and other nonprofessionals a chance at theatrical experience. The UNC Lab Theater will continue in this role, but the PRC intends to provide the community with top-quality professional theater, according to managing director Joseph Coleman. Why, at this time, is it important to provide major-league drama? "Well, if you were sick you wouldn't go to see someone who is a doctor in the evening," Coleman explains. "There is a place for students, but we're building a professional theater." PRC's aim is to serve up the finest in thespian fare to the University community. One thing Coleman expects will set the PRC apart is its commitment to contemporary American consciousness. The company plans to produce one or two new American works each season last year, for example, they chose Isadora Duncan Sleeps With the Russian Navy, from the Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference. The PRC will be one of four regional theaters to premiere History of the American Film, from the same conference, this, season. Coleman considers it an honor to be ranked with these other theaters. In addition to brand-new material, each season will include "bedrock American plays," such as The Crucible and the Kaufman Hart comedy Once in a Lifetime, and plays from a universal repertoire, which would include Shakespeare. These will be chosen with an. eye toward a contemporary social message The Crucible, written about the 1690 witch hunt during the 1950 one, deals with man's judging other men and seems most appropriate to our times. This spring's homage to the Bard of Avon is All's Well that Ends Well, in its way a commentary on the women's movement. Nor does the social commitment stop at the footlights. A special matinee of All's Well. has been added to the schedule, with proceeds going to the North Carolina Equal Rights Amendment drive. Future seasons are expected to include similar efforts. Professionalism is rarely cheap, and professional theater is no exception. The PRC is a $222,000 operation this year. Approximately 70 per cent of this total is in the form of indirect support from the University, which would include building, maintenance and heating costs as well as the assistance of faculty members. Remarkably ji a en a- ted w semester value Clothing Department Jogging Suits $16.95 Poly lined winter jackets $16.95 All solid color "t" shirts $3.25 long sleeve sweatshirts $5.75 sweaters from $7.95 asst'd gloves, & scarves Thoro'c MojrQ in the i X '':. PRC's big hit last season; "Isadora Duncan Sleeps with the Russian Navy" good advance ticket sales and advertising fees have helped defray costs, as have grants from the National Endowment of the Arts, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, and UNC. Nonmonetary aid comes from the Theater Communications Group, which provides casting and other services, and which recognized the PRC as a member this year. Okay, what do they do with all that lucre? One thing they have done is contract with the Actor's Equity in New York for the services of seven true luminaries. Perhaps the most notable is Shepperd Strudwick, a 1927 alumnus of the Drama Department. In addition to appearances in three Academy Award-winning films, he has just finished playing in Eccentricities of a Nightingale, a revision of Summer and Smoke. But consider also William Preston, of the New York company of The Fantasticks; Frank Raiter and Flair Bogan of Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park; Darrie Lawrence and Ann Shepherd, off-Broadway players; and John Morrow, artistic director of the Carolina Regional Theater. From two to seven of these renowned troupers will join the company's five student members in each of this season's playS. t J, s oth spring
