Dramatists May Go 'Inside the Walls'
By Carol Heller
What kind of plays would be enjoyed by prisoners?
This is the question that will be running through the mind of Lewin Coll, director of the University Theatre, as he watches the workshop plays this week in the Experimental Theatre.
Three of the 18 student-directed plays will be selected for a proposed "Community Theatre" plan
whereby KU students would perform for the inmates of Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary.
Prof. Golf has an appointment to talk with the prison's recreation officials Jan. 18 after he has selected the plays. He emphasized that the plan is still in the discussion stage.
Arrangements are being made through the KU Extension service, headed by Howard T. Walker, director of extension.
"Tentative plans are for students to give an hour's program in the morning, lunch with prison officials in the officer's quarters and then give a second performance in the afternoon." related Prof. Goff.
The performances will consist of acts or scenes of plays studied and directed by students in the directing class. They would be given at the prison the last of February.

He named "Teabouse of the August Moon," "Sabrina Fair," "Light Up the Sky" and "The Moon Is Blue" as possibilities, but added that he wanted to see all of the productions before he made a final decision.
Prof. Goff said that if the plan is approved by prison officials, he hopes the students' productions will inspire the inmates to organize their own theater organization and produce shows.
"It would be a type of group therapy through drama for the inmates of the prison," he said.
As an example of similar therapy, Prof. Goff cited the creative drama offered in many mental hospitals to give patients the opportunity to express themselves.
"If a 'Community Theater,' so to speak, could be established some day in the prison, I'd like to send a graduate student there to direct a production," said Prof. Goff. "In fact, I'd like to do it myself."
Student Directors Experiment With Plays

Nicolas Jacques Charrier, firstborn of Brigitte and matinee idol Jacques Charrier, gave his first lusty squall at 2:30 a.m. and the most publicized pregnancy in recent French history ended on a note of the hectic confusion that has marked BB's film career.
