3 Folk Plays To Be Given
The next bill of the Studio Theater, to be presented at 8 p.m. Nov. 14 to 18 in Green theater, will include three folk plays.
Prof. Allen Crafton, chairman of the department of speech will direct an excerpt from "Spoon River Anthropology," by Edgar Lee Masters. This "play for voices" reveals the truth behind the epitaphs in an Illinois graveyard. Both humor and tragedy exist in the contrast between the words on the tombstone and the true life of the departed.
"Moonshine," by Arthur Hopkins, is the story of a captured "revenoer" who makes an unusual demand in his efforts to get out of his predicament. The demand throws the moonshiners' hideout into an unroar.
"Special Rates," by Bernice Ham, has been scheduled in place of "27 Wagons Full of Cotton," by Tennessee Williams. The latter play was withdrawn because of production difficulties.
"Special Rates" tells of a hill country romance in Carolina. Alf Sanders wants to marry for the third time but the project is discouraged by his daughter Mitte and his best friend Nath. Nath and Mitte combine forces to break up the match between Alf and Gussie Batten, a possessive widow.
"Moonshine" and "Special Rates" will be directed by Nathanial Eek, director of the Studio theater.
Season tickets at reduced rates of $2 may be purchased in 2 Green for the remaining five productions. Individual tickets for 50 cents may be bought the night of performance.
