The Experimental Theater will present an evening of three original one-act plays written by KU student playwrights and directed by three graduate students.
Three KU student playwrights debut their one-act plays directed by grads
"Young Goodman Brown" by Stephen Biddle, Topeka graduate student, is considered by some persons to be the most technically difficult and dramatically demanding of the three plays.
Derived from a Nathaniel Hawthorne tale, it is the story of a basically good minister who is destroyed by his weaknesses. The setting is a play within a play—filled with occult spectacle and dominated by Antonin Artaud's theatre of cruelty theories—written and directed by Satan.
Finally, "The Day the Fish Got Away" changes the mood with a slice-of-life army story that is a bit autobiographical. The author, Lanny Fellers, of Lawrence who graduated from KU last June and is now at Indiana University, was in Viṣṇam before the big build-up. He has written about the grating mental pressures of living in a war situation.
A comedy, "John-John," is by Doug Wasson, Chambersburg, Pa., senior. Wasson will miss the premiere because he is touring in Eastern Europe with a KU troupe sponsored by the State Department.
The play deals with the comic and often philosophic situations that develop as the restroom's visitors meet its resident. Beyond the funny, fast-paced action, Wasson has something to say about individuals and their environments.
During an already disastrous evening at an art film, his date dumps Coke on John, the main character. He seeks temporary refuge in the men's room, but decides to stay because he likes it better than life.
Avedisian to exhibit paintings at Spooner
A show of recent works by Edward Avedisian, visiting lecturer in drawing and painting at KU, will open Friday in the Museum of Art at Sponner Hall. A public reception for the artist will be from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Avedisian who has had one-man shows at galleries in New York, Los Angeles, London and Zurich, Switzerland, received an award from the National Council of the Arts.

African shop is now open; Soul City run by KU blacks
The only black operated shop on Massachusetts Street is operated by two KU students.
John Young, Kansas City graduate student, and Gary Jackson, Topeka junior, opened Soul City about a month ago as a "black thing."
"This shop is symbolic," Jackson said. "It is the only black operated shop on Massachusetts."
Chiefly a record shop, it has a limited collection of African fashions and carvings, and books on the civil rights movement.
Jackson emphasized that while the shop is not making much profit, the important thing is that it is operated by blacks.
Before the shop switched to
carrying records, it was an Afro-American shop with African dress, jewelry and art.
"The Afro shop wasn't too productive, so we decided to put something in to keep it going," Jackson said.
One of the biggest difficulties operators have encountered is finding persons to work in the shop.
"Employees are paid on commission, and since we aren't making much money, we are having trouble getting people to work." Jackson said.
Located at 1012 Massachusetts St., Soul City is open weekdays from 2 to 6 p.m. and Satursdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
