The Detective Story, a look at one day in the life of Detective James McLeod of the New York Police Department, was presen- ted October i8 and l9 under the direction of drama coach, Michael Kennedy. Black l-lawk's first play of the season presented in the play- crafter's Barn, was unique in that it was the first to offer open-cast- ing to the Quad-City area. Two theater of the absurd plays, The Zoo Story by Ed- ward Albee and The Lesson by Eugene lonesco were pre- sented February 28 and 29 in the college auditorium. The Zoo Story directed by Mr. Kennedy, is the story of a disheveled young man who disrupts another man's quiet afternoon in the park by insulting and confusing him with twisted and erratic dialogue. The Lesson, which was direc- ted by English instructor, Richard Blumenberg, satirically probes the teacher-pupil relationship, with the problem of communica- tion of utmost significance. Following the performances, guest critics, Howard Stein, pro- fessor of ploywriting at the State University of lowa, and Don Wooten, founder and producer of the Quad-City Genesius Guild, led discussion periods in which the audience, actors and directors participated. The last play of the season was Teohouse of the August Moon. This play was presented in conjunction with the Fine Arts Festival. CARL DAHLEN, as Peter, ltop picturel and Bob Kruger, as Jerry, begin The Zoo Story a one act play by Edward Albee. Pete Gartelos lboftom picfurel as the professor in Eugene lonesco's The Lesson, contemplates the murder of his pupil. gifs. .1
