raged, Amanda screams at Tom. You will listen! You will listen to me! - Mitchell's Talisman Theatre presented a new innova- tion in the drama department with f'Three in the Round? Three separate plays, Spoon River Anthology, Glass Menagerie, and t'Dock Brief, were introduced as one. These plays were acted in the round with the audience sitting upon the stage, surrounding the performers. This created a direct relationship between the players and the audience. Spoon River Anthology was originally a series of poems written by Edgar Lee Masters. These poems were adapted, by Charles Airman, as a play. The play was directed by Miss Vickie Hammers, who was assisted by Miss Karen Laitnerj f'The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, was written about the Wingfield family and their various worlds of fantasy. Dock Brief concerns Fowle, a con- fessed murdered, and Morganhall, his inept lawyer. The Glass Menagerie and Dock Brief were directed by Mr. George Raabe, who was assisted by Miss Barb Davids. All three plays were backed by a large crew of stu- dents. Without the help of these students the plays would never be presented. The crew heads were the following: Barry Wilson Cconstructionj, Dave Payne Clightsj, Roy Ellington fsoundj, Barb Davids and Lisa Kupferer fmake- upj, Elaine Cromwell fpropsj, and Sue Gramer Cpublicity and showbillj.
