THEATRE Plays transform studio Lilly Halls Studio 160 was trans- formed into a thrust stage full of a 17th century set to provide the back- ground for The Amorous Flea, a wonderful musical comedy. Because of the closeness of the ac- tors to the audience, makeup and costumes had to be detailed. In par- ticular, Arnolphe ' s and Chrysalde ' s costumes were realistic. Down to his bejeweled ring, silk stockings, and powdered wigs, Arnolphe looked aris- tocratic. The bright, outrageous colors gave the audience a hint of his laughable nature. And while his makeup may have seemed exaggerated, it fit his character. Without necessitating any major scene changes, the multi-level set cre- ated a balcony, moat, wall, garden and a street area. Farabove, Anne Penny plays Chrysalde in The Amorous Flea , nov. 15-22. Above, Tim l ilier, Jennifer Rule and Angela northington star in the 1987 spring production of Under a Mantle of Stars. The most striking and effective ele- ment in the play was the interplay be- tween the characters. Strong acting and good blocking were key. never was there a lack of action. Ghosts was an in-depth study of the effect of the past on present lives. During the course of the action, each character was figuratively brought to trial and convicted of devastating his or her past, which had then led to an unstable present. Ibsen also makes a strong com- ment about the love shared between parent and child. As a typical Ibsen social drama, Ghosts ' also present- ed a picture of a base, degenerate so- ciety. The images of time, love and degradation came forth in the produc- tion ' s lighting, staging and character- ization.
