Super stage becomes tiny theater 5, 4, 3, 2, One Acts! The countdown began with the selection of a one act play and its cast. Next on the agenda came preparation. Long hours and late nights were spent rehearsing, con- structing, and polishing so that each act would contain its own theatrical flair. Slowly, the stage was transformed into a miniature theater complete with seats, set and seclusion. As showtime neared, the make-up, publicity, paint, and stage crews began their creative tasks. Finally, the moment of truth was at hand. With a flick of a switch and an explosion of light, there emerged the 1980 One Acts, presented by Masgue and Mime. The three acts presented were Still Alarm , and Amicable Parting , both by George Kaufman; and selections from A Thurber Carnival by James Thurber. All three acts gave particpants and spectators a unigue view of the theater. The stage is made into an intimate three-guarter setting, which gave actors and student directors an opportunity to experiment and learn. It ' s strange to be so close to the audience, commented one actor, If you flub up or make a mistake, everybody knows about it! However, all agreed that One Acts were an exciting challenge.
