Although the University will present a comparatively new style of theater entertainment May 7,8,and 9,history proves that it is not really new—it goes back more than 4.000 years.
Theater Arena 4,000 Years Old
"Petticoat Fever," performed in the Student Union ballroom, will be the first major production at KU using the "new" arena type staging, or theater-in-the-round.
Next, mystery and miracle plays popular in England and the continent, were played on wagon stages throughout towns and seen by an audience on three sides.
The staging style began with the development of Greek theater. It was decided to seat the audience on a hillside, and the amphitheater structure appeared. Since a hillside was cut out from the circle was cut to little more than a semicircle. Little scenery was used but costuming was very elaborate.
At first they were presented inside the churches, then as they became more worldly by introduction of other characters into the stories the plays were moved to the steps of the church, where the audience stood in a semicircle to watch.
With the rise of liturgical drama in the medieval church, again a natural setting was provided for plays which depicted vices, virtues, and the lives of saints.
The improvised comedy of the Italian Renaissance, the "commedia dell'arte," began on small platforms located in public squares. Groups
of travelling actors performed to an audience on three sides.
In English theater before the Elizabethan period plays were presented in halls, banquet chambers, inn yards, and on the village green. Elizabethan theater evolved from the inns of the courts into a circular shape such as the famous Globe Theater of Shakespeare.
Some of the nobility sat on the stage itself, Elaborate props and extravagant costumes made up for the lack of scenery.
The first actual use of central staging in America was in 1914 at Columbia university. Azubah Latham directed "The Mask of Joy." Another pioneer in this field was T. Earl Pardoe, who used arena staging in 1922 at Brigham Young university.
The technique became more renowned when Gilmore Brown started directing plays in Pasadena in 1924.
Theater-in-the-round proper as an intimate theater medium was instituted by Glenn Hughes in 1332, when he produced Ibsen's "Ghosts" in the center of the floor in a hotel penthouse in Seattle.
"Because 'Petticoat Fever' is intimate theater, the audience 'will be limited,' James Wright, graduate student and director of the play, said. Open free to the public, seating capacity is approximately 125 each night.
Tickets may be obtained at the Union information desk tomorrow. No more than two tickets will be given to each person. Seats are not reserved, but those with tickets will be assured of a seat, since only capacity will be given away.
Pacific Northwest Air Crashes Kill 321
Seattle—(U.P.)—One missing airliner and an Air Force C-97 crash that killed one person today brought the total dead or missing in air disasters in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska to 321 since Nov. 7, 1952.
The most disastrous of the 16 major crashes since Nov. 7 occurred when a C-124 carrying an estimated 115 servicemen for Christmas from Larson Air Force base, near Moses Lake, Wash., crashed and burned Dec. 20, 1952, killing 87.
