5ART Season
Drama Group Plana Summer Entertainment
By TERRY NIENHUIS
The Southern Appalachian
spertory Theater (SART) is
ice again planning a sum
er of dramatic entertain
ent that will make the
tizens of Madison County
<oud. Established in 1975 as a
int effort of the Madison
Ninty Bicentennial Commis
xi and the Department of
leater Arts of Mars Hill Col
ge, SART is entering its
xth and most exciting
?son.
Every year SART's Manag
g Director, Jim Thomas,
idertakes an extensive
lent search to bring a truly
ofessional company to Mars
ill. Highlighting this year's
oup is Mars Hill graduate
tsan King, returning for her
urth SART season fresh
om continuing acclaim for
r portrayal of Emily Dickin
n in the one-woman show,
te Belle of Amherst.
Ms. King's success in Belle
is led to her being con
dered for a feature role in a
ovie to be filmed next year
England and China. If
isan lands the part, she will
ay the wife of a Baptist mis
onary who Journeys to China
the late 19th century.
With veteran performers
w Susan King, SART's sixth
a son promises to be its best
er. The dramatic fireworks
gin on June 20 with You're a
ood Man, Charlie Brown, a
lightful musical based on
e "Peanuts" comic strip,
ring one uproarious day
th the famous hapless hero
it his friends, we witness all
the classic situations
mat nave oecome a
of cultural folklore for
A great show for
i, Charlie Brown ia tr
able for adults as well
makes for fine family
On Friday, June 27, SART
rill change the mood slightly
nd present a tense and a boor -
ing drama of racial conflict
ailed My Sweet Charlie. Set
i the deep South, this play br
ngs together a highly educate
Mrthern black youth and a
imple, unschooled, southern
rhite girl who has been re
ected by her family because
of her pre-marital pregnancy
The black youth, running
From a murder charge, meets
the girl in a vacant summer
cottage, and there the two
fugitives eventaully learn to
trust and respect one another
despite their differences. It is
I a play full of tension, insight,
and poignancy that will deeply
move all who see it.
cm mursoay, Juiy a, smi
will represent The Hasty
Heart, a comic drama set in
the convalescent ward of a
World War II military
hospital. A stubbornly in
dependent Scottish soldier,
who does not know he has only
a few weeks to live, rejects all
the kindness and sympathy his
fellow patients have been
ordered to give him.
Their frustration provides
fine comic moments that are
ultimately turned into a rich
and believable pathos as the
Scotsman is brought to a foil
understanding of his situation
and of the necessity for giving
and accepting sympathy and
love in this brief mortal life.
The final SART production
of the summer will be the July
30 World Premiere of Wednes
day's Children, a provocative
and moving drama of two Ap
palachian families whose lives
are forever changed by the
startling and unexpected
the late IMO's. Rejection! -
real and imagined - between
theater patrons more services
for their money. To provide
more flexibility in production
dates, SART ia instituting a
true repertory schedule that
rotates the plays at four-day
intervals after the initial run.
In this way an area theater
goer can see as many as three
plays in as few as four con
secutive theater days or can
see all the plays in four con
secutive Saturday nights.
SART is also making
avilable a dinner theater op
tion for groups of twenty or
more, initiating experimental
performances for the deaf,
and continuing a theater
workshop for the Upward
Bound program.
However, with recession
coming on, the most impor
tant item is preices, and here
SART is making its best effort
to give area theater-goers
their money's worth. As a non
profit organization SART does
not have to make money, but it
does have to break even, and
the best way to ensure this is
to have lots of Madison County
people see the plays.
Regular admission prices
are being held to $5 for adults
and $4 for students and senior
citizens, but area patrons can
get a 25 percent discount by
buying season memberships.
Furthermore, a 20 percent dis
count is available for groups
of twenty or more.
However, SART's boldest
recession fighter is an im
aginative new policy unheard
of in theater management.
SART will guarantee every
performance and will return
the admission price of any
patron who does not feel that
he has been given his money s
worth of entertainment.
The establishment of the
Southern Appalachian Reper
tory Theater and its continued
programof summer drama is
a project for which the people
of Madison County can be
justifiably proud. For five
years they have supported the
theater with financial
assistance and with ever in
creasing attendnace. Not too
many counties in North
Carolina, even those with
larger towns, have their own
theater groups and can pro
vide programs of such
superior quality.
If you wish to continue sup
porting SART, complete
reservation information can
be obtained by contacting the
SART Box Office at 689-1239 or
by writing to SART, P.O. Box
53, Mars Hill, NC 28754.
