KK 'Q f . f Q Campbellsville College presented Twelve Angry Peo- ple, a three-act play written by Reginald Bose, November 12- 14 in the newly-remodeled Alumni Building Theater. Russ Mobley directed the play with Judy Woodward, a senior dra- ma student from Bowling Green, as assistant director. When you leave the decision of a 19-year-old boy's guilt or innocence in a murder case up to a three man, six woman jury, who has deliberated for six days - many things can hap- pen. Especially when the boy is from the slums, lives near the railroad track, has a history of knifing, has been beaten, and has had no mother since he was nine-years old. At first one juror, a preacher qTrent Argoj stood alone in his not guilty decision. Through arguing, reinactments of the crime, and admittance of per- sonal experience, the jurors changed their minds. Another key juror was a very angry man, lFred K, J. Millerj who strongly believed the boy was guilty Beyond a reason- able doubt. Beyond a reasonable doubt was the very thing that almost hung the jury. They couldn't state for sure that the boy murdered his fatherg if he covered his tracks, doing dumb 24 Fall Production filll l3l'0dlll3tlDl1 WB VB A QTY DBDIJI and smart things at the same time, if the 75 year old crip- pled man lied about the time, but was telling the truth about what he saw, if the train was too noisy to hear anythingg or if the lady across the tracks saw the boy kill his father through the last two train cars without her glasses on. Finally, Miller was standing alone, and reluctantly gave in to the not guiIty decision. This play showed us that we need to be quick not to judge others because of their backgrounds, because of what others say. We need to weigh all the evidence and reconstruct things that hap- pen on our own. We need to know beyond a reasonable doubt if others are guilty or not guiIty before pass- ing judgements. Cast members included: Paul Barnes, Greta Heady, Fred K.J. Miller, Linda Schauberger, Shonda Wil- son, Jennifer Zammert, Stephanie Dolph, Trent Argo, Kathleen Bush, Jan Sapp, Valerie Lanham, Tammie Gibson, and Chris Maxfield.

We stay up there because of tra- dition. We don't usually know how the tradition started, but because of it. we have the security of knowing what our roles are. Tradition also keeps us living in perfect harmony. Without tradition our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof. This was the opening scene of the annual Harle- quin's Spring Production, Fiddler on the Roof April 21-23 in the newly renovated Alumni theater. The musical was based on a book by Jo- seph Stein, and was directed by Russ Mobley, assisted by Julianne Franklin Goins. The lyrics and music were written by Sheldon Harnick and Jer- ry Bock, respectively, and was directed by Mark Brad- ley. The pianist for the per- formances was Peggy Har- dy. Tevye, the Dairyman tMark Bradleyl, was the play's main character. He and Golde tJan Sappl had five daughters: Tzeite iLinda Schaubergerl, Hodel tPeggy Reecel, Chava tStephanie Millerl, Shprintze tAmee Ramseyl, and Bielke tJennifer Bennettl. Tradition, in Anatevka, a small Russian village in 1905, said that the father must arrange the marriages of his daughters. And for a Hours of practice went into the pro- duction of 'Fiddler on the Roof. 26 Spnng poor man like Tevye, this was a hard task because his daughters had no dowry. But never fear - Yente, the Matchmaker tJo Millerl, was hard-at-work to find the perfect husband or wife for everyone. Yente visited the home with a match for the oldest daughter, Tzeitel. lt was Laz- ar Wolf, the Butcher tDouglas Broomel, a rich, older widower. But Tzeitel loved Motel, the Tailor. But Motel tSteven Bristowl was poor. Tevye reasoned that Motel was an honest, hard worker and their financial status couldn't get any worse - and agreed to the marriage. A radical student, Perchic tTrent Argol, also broke l I 0Ihil1Q ikeil ittle -I-l'ilditi0l1 some traditions in Anatevka. He thought it was alright for women to learn. He also danced with Hodel, who en- ded up as his wife. The third daughter, Chava, fell in love with a non-Jewish officer, Fyddka. Upon asking for Tevye's blessing for mar- riage, they were considered dead to the family. The Fiddler iShonda Wil- sony appeared each time there was a conflict of tra- dition. At the end of the play, when Anatevka had to be evacuated because of the Russian Revolution, the fam- ily took the fiddler ttraditionl to America with them. But one feels that the tradition will be a little more open to change in the new world. lt will only be used as a link to f-'-,Www if-.,, 1 . their heritage. The cast received a welll deserved standing ovation fron the capacity crowd. On the las night Director Russ Mobley was awarded a small fiddle as a gill from the cast. l l l l I I 2, : v- ' , ,., V M. ,- 1 - . ,W A A . ...4......j.l.,., lm ' r H WHH,, .. ..,,..c.,.,.t -.,- ------wvypn-A,--,4w...-....,,,,.A -N...-5 .. .- N W, T x A-. mf-- V
