Drama sets precedent in 'The Serpent' nformal. Controversial. In- tense. Constructive. Each of these words describes The Serpent. Performed in Oc- tober, with 19 students participating, the production certainly could not be deemed just anotherplay. The most sig- nificant change was the use, for the first time, of student directors, Tina Landau and Ella Belzberg. In addition, John Ingle, chairman of the Performing Arts Department, did not direct as before. In his stead, Andy Grenier, a performing arts teacher, held the position. The play, an ensemble with no leading roles, provided an illustration of ritualistic acting. The Serpent presented a modern inter- pretation of Genesis despite the fact that it gives only minor emphasis to the aspect of religion. The main theme, said Landau, in my view, was explor- ing the process of life and the different stages and moods that society has ex- perienced to get where we are today. Director Grenier said in Highlights, It is an examination of where we've been and where weire going to. It asks us to' evaluate where our values are. COOOQIOQQOIUO l.
