Mary Beth Kay Mary Beth Kay Dramas Offer Insight This year was a first for the Queens College Drama Department. It was the first time that two fall drama produc- tions were presented to the Queens community. One of these. Five Women, by Jean Allen, starred Christie McKinney as Vinney, Deanna Hensley as Rita, Nancy Nardolilli as Laverne, Andrea Carey as Sarah, and Suzanne Everhart as Kim. The drama, originally presented in the quaint setting of the Hollow, was a simple production. The simplicity of set- ting, however, complemented the complex character development of the plot. Five Women dealt with how five very different women came to cope with and understand the difficulties they shared by being women in present-day society. In four acts, the audience shared, through a series of monologues, in the setbacks as well as the joyful ex- periences of each of the women as they grow from young, wondering girls to mature adults. Under the direction of Jane Hadley and with music provided by Connie Rhyne Bray, the play continued throughout the year. Five Women was presented at various events, such as Admissions’ open houses. The other drama, Waiting For The Parade, which ran in Suzanne Little Recital Hall from November 6-1 □, was a special occasion in many ways. Most obviously, it fit in perfectly with the book of the semester and the symposium on women and war. Set in Calgary in the Province of Alberta, Canada, during World War II, this play by John Murrell showed how the war affected the lives of the women at home. The five women who made up the cast of Waiting were women who, outwardly at least, had little or nothing in common with each other. They were drawn together by the circumstances of the war, when ordinarily they might never have met. Yet, the war had an effect on their lives in ways which caused them to become connected. Catherine CSuzy Brown] had a husband who volunteered and was eventually reported missing in action in France. Eve [Sally Wheeler], who was against the war for the waste of it all — ’’We're back in the Dark Ages, wasting lives, spilling blood all over Europe! ” — was burdened by a husband too old to serve and who was adamantly in favor of war.
