New Production Sets History to Music
By Giles Lambertson
A history lesson set to music describes the Experimental Theatre production "American Medley," according to Donald Ellis, graduate student and assistant director.
The musical, written for the Centennial celebration, will be performed Nov. 11, 12, and 13 in Swarthout Recital Hall, Murphy Hall.
"It will be a compilation of various songs and dances chronologically presented to give a history of this country since about 1865," Ellis said. "A history—as portrayed through the entertainment media."
FOR INSTANCE, a scene from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, about Negro frustration prior to the Civil War, will start the show, Ellis explained. The singing of "Good-bye Dolly," a reference to soldiers leaving home for the Civil War, will follow.
Other songs are "Try to Remember"-the theme song from "Fantasticks" and "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from the Broadway musical, "Oklahoma." Excerpts from "On the Christy," the 1922 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Eugene O'Neil, will be given.
The task of writing the musical was undertaken by William Kuhike, director of the Experimental Theatre, and Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama. Writing consisted mainly of taking portions of plays and songs which were representative of particular eras and presenting them in a two-act play with continuity. Ellis said, Kuhike is director of the production.

Men cast members are Paul Hough, Topeka junior, Richard Kelton, Miami, Okla., senior, and Clifford "Kip" Niven, Prairie Village junior.
"THERE IS NO leading role," Ellis said. "Each member will play several different roles and was chosen because he could sing, dance or act particularly well. Actually, all of them are talented enough to perform all three ways, which is unusual."
The stage will be starkly decorated. The largest piece of scenery is a makeshift screen strung across the rear. Eighty slides will be projected onto the screen from above the stage as background scenes for the individual skits, Ellis explained.
Next semester, the group will go on tour in Kansas and, possibly, Europe, he said.
