"I'm Imaginary Invalid," a farce by Moliere, is being presented by Hashinger Hall at its last night. It tomorrow and tomorrow it will be on the program director of Hashinger Hall.
Hashinger improvises on Moliere's 'Imaginary Invalid'
BYROBINSMITH
Kansan Reviewer
teresting evening of theatre at Hashinger Hall.
Begin with an improvisational production of Moliere's 18th century farce, "The Imaginary Invasion." Add an ambition cast and invite the students to mutual living accommodations. Multiply by a limited budget of donations and the staff. Design and set up a design. And the total will add up to an in-
"Invalid" focuses on a hypochondria, Monsieur Ardnin (Kurt von Schlemmen, Leavenworth sophomore), who is frantically trying to force his daughter, Caitlin Heiner, to marry Caliceon Center, N. S., sophomore to a doctor against her will.
Amid Arid仁's bitching and macing about his injuries, he confronted by his mounted dog, Owen, a law enforcement officer Lawrence sophomore) and an interfering but窦明睿 man, Toumei (Sandi Bodge, a law enforcement officer).
According to Mounsey, Molier's force is propelled by the actions of the maid, Tonette, who is the only moving character in the production. Bodge gives a polished and enchanting performance as Tonette, the maid who is determined to help everyone.
SCHLEMER'S ARDIN also is convincing, but only after Schlemer overcame his stage fright and stopped rattling off his lines.
But Hessinger's Angelique is weak. Molière's faeces require that the unbelievable be believable. Hessinger's stylized acting is neither believable nor
unbelievable. It just hangs in between the fine lines. But Hessinger's singing voice paels off a soothing yet tipple cake.
THE LIVE MUSIC that sets the mood for "invalid" is exquisite. The tunes are briefly but beautifully performed by only three instruments—a cello and two flutes.
Perhaps the most interesting part to *invalid* is that it be written as 'Molleene said she had combined parts of Molleene's translated script with additional original lines by the
So perhaps the remaining performances will be better.
Post-1960s sadness focus of play
"Kennedy's Children," a play by Robert Patrick that follows five dream believers of the 1960s into the 1970s, will be presented at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, Arts Center, North and Vermont street.
The play's director, Art Sloan, said the five main characters lived empty existences as prisoners of the 1960s.
"A lot of people are prisoners of the 1960s today," Sloan said. "They are wandering, lost. I think it explains the apathy of the 1970s."
The characters, Sianaa, are an ideal schoolteacher, a Vietnam veteran nurse and a psychiatric drug, an ex-hiplex, a homemade actor, and a would-be Marilyn Monroe. The other character, a bartender, is the only person in day 194a who is living in the present, which is
All the characters except the bartender are dressed in blue, representing what Sloan called "the shadows of the 60s."
Nan Scott, who portrays the schoolteacher, talked about the alienation in the play.
"I't hard to get used to a play where no one talks to one another," she said.
THE CHARACTERS speak only in thought monologues, in reaction to the bartender when he brings their drinks.
Josh Waters, who portrays the bartender, said, "I feel like I'm the one in charge. I'm the only one in communication with the characters. I represent the 1970s."
Snaile callt the play "a unique tragedy." "People don't meet or talk, and as long as they don't, there is no hope. he said.
In order to get a feeling of isolation, Sloan conducted rehearsals in the dark one night.
No one moved much during this exercise, emphasizing the static nature of the characters and the play.
Since there is so little action, the verbalized thought of the characters must be absorbing to give the audience "the telepatic ability to enter the characters' minds."
"THE AUDIENCE should leave the play asking themselves, How much was I influenced by it all?" Saad said.
Only those who lived in the 1960s can fully understand the play, Sloan said.
"I was Kennedy's child," Sloan said.
"This is a true play."
Admission to "Kennedy's Children" is $3.00 at the door.

Museum's musings end
Staff Reporter
By AMY HOLLOWELL
In Greek mythology, the nine daughters of Memory, the Muses, governed the arts, humanities and sciences as one entity, which became today's separate liberal arts.
In an attempt to revive this Greek persecution, Mr. Mazzarino, a Spencer Museum of Art began a project that "grappled with issues related to the role of education in a museum of art," he wrote in an article published by The Times.
The project, "Musing in Museums," which ended this week, related each of the nine Museus to the museum and to other facets of contemporary society through a series of programs. They were funded by $8,000. The National Endowment for the Humanities.
Each Muse was introduced bi-monthly during the two-year series in an area of the museum set aside as the Muses Loung. The nine Muses represented history, love,
dance, tragedy, music, religious festivity,
comedy, astronomy and the epic.
*THE MUSES in Accord: A Final Reprise* was the museum's final tribute to the Muses this week. The tribute ended last month, and it will be rolled by Rollo May, psychealtt师 and author.
"The week of programs began Tuesday night with "The Love Match," an examination of the appeal of the human form; "The Mismatch, a look at lovers' eyes"; and "The Other Face of Tragedy: The Mask of Fools," a profile of jclaws and clowns.
The tribute continued Wednesday night with three more presentations. "Fabric of the universe," a series on changing view of the universe throughout history. "Orion and the Seven Sisters" looked at the constellations, particularly the seven suns, which served as an inspiration for artists and writers.
the introductory slides and tapes to acquaint visitors with the Muse during the two-year visit. Participants will be valued diving, mime, story-telling, films, guest lectures, gallery tours and
"The strengths of the public offerings then," Hardy said, "was in the diversity of approaches to a central focus of exploring enduring human values."
POETRY, MUSIC and art were used in
But the Musing in Museums project was not limited to the Spencer Museum. It was also supported by the Kansas Arts Commission, and exhibitions and public programs featuring the Muses were transported on the state in a traveling art museum.
Hardy said, "The Muse reminds us—their names denote museums, that museums, as we know them, are exploring the human condition and that they can treasure the museums, alive to the humane world."
