'E 4-3 L 4-3 3022 S ui cn A seventeenth century play opened the thirteenth season of the Ball State Theater with juggling and magic tricks Ever have a servant who's always one step ahead of you no matter what you do? Like to know how to make a little money in a big hurry? All of this happened to the cast of Scapin be- fore the eyes of a full house on four nights. Ball State Theatre's thirteenth season got off to a good start with the production of one of Moliere's classic comedy, Scapin. Performed in the Little Theatre to a near-capacity audience on the four nights during which it played, Scapin provided an hour and a half of slapstick comedy enioyable to both young and old. An added element of comedy was the use of several modern iokes and sarcasms. The evening's entertainment began long before the curtain ever rose, as the members of the cast entertained the audience with various magic tricks, puppets, iuggling, and singing. Reactions from the audience were varied, ranging from surprise to delight. Simple scenery and colorful costumes further enhanced the mood created by the pre-curtain en- tertainment, as the members of the cast went on stage, donned their masks, set the stage, and began the play. Before the actual play got underway, however, the characters explained their parts in the play, the general plot, and the outcome. Scapin is the story of a tricky, rather ingenious servant who teams up with two sons in trying to trick their respective fathers out of money so that they may marry the girls of their own choosing. The story becomes more complicated, however, by the addition of a revenge plot, two lost daughters, and many, many mix- ups. The play gets progressively more complicated, until, quite suddenly, everything is straightened out, mainly through the efforts of Scapin and his sidekick. Scapin included a cast of nine characters, and was directed by Don Heady, with the lead played by Ron Keaton. The two fathers were played by Rock Mers and Steve Punches, and their respective sons were played by Paul Lehinay and Esau Hislope. The play appeared to go smoothly, and iudging by comments heard in the audience and around campus, Scapin could well be deemed a successful season's opener.
