the greatest amount of work goes on long before the curtains part on open- ing night. Endless rehearsals. hour upon tiresome hour of set design, con- struction, costume making. fitting, prop gathering, line learning and back breaking. The players who come for- ward for the curtain call at the end of the play are only a part of the S.,-I il. +- team effort that goes into putting on a successful production. Every single part of play produc- tion will be accentuated in the work- shop - no one segment will receive more attention than another. At one point in the movie Valley of the Dolls the main character stares at the young starlet and says in his Q V X?-er f '! ' f M K Tu M V . -I f. ' i best big brother voice. It's rough. This may be the cliche to end all cliches hut there is a ring of truth to it. Play production is a rough game. But any actor who has just come out for his second curtain call or any set designer who has received plaudits for his work can tell you that it's well worth the effort. 23 ii ls

So said the author of one of the worldis most revered comedies Don QQuixote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes. Another master of comedy, Samuel Taylor, was the author of Hapy Time, one of the two productions scheduled for the Summer Drama Workshop at Broward junior College. The other scheduled play is Arthur Miller's brilliant stage drama Death of a Salesman. It's a sure bet that no simpleton will be playing a lead role in either production. To insure against such an occur- rence, Miss Mildred Mulliken and Mr. Ceorge Cavanaugh will be on hand. With their expert tutorage and the appropriateness of the chosen vehicles there is little doubt that the summer will be marked by fine stage enter- tainment. Last summer a similar undertaking resulted in the presentation of two of the finest pieces of dramatic inter- pretation ever to appear on the junior college stage: The Hasty Heart and Ladies in Retirement. William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon, said, through the mouth of Hamlet, that They play's the thing but Miss Mulliken and Mr. Cavan- augh know better and they will do their best to pass this knowledge along to aspiring actors and actresses.
