Varied Series Draws Mixed Corps Reaction Artie begs forgiveness from, the maid, Ann, in “Half A Sixpence.’’ The musical, based on H. G. Wells’ “Kipps,” received a stand¬ ing ovation from the Corps at a Concert- Theatre Series presentation. The series is considered as an extension of the curricu¬ lum since it is to expand cultural exposure. The Strolling Players featuring Viveca Lindfors presented “Three Boards and a Passion,” a dra¬ matic commentary on all aspects of the theater ranging from the Greek classics to the Theater of the Absurd. “The Decline and Fall of the Entire World as Seen Through the Eyes of Cole Porter” gave the Corps a different view of Porter’s music than is commonly gained through records or radio by using pop art slides and unusual sound effects to ornament the musical biography.

Actor Bramwell Fletcher portrayed George Ber¬ nard Shaw as a human being rather than a stereo¬ typed image. Fletcher’s humorous portrayal cap¬ tured the genial side of Shaw’s life. Aristophanes’ fifth century B.C. production en¬ titled “The Birds,’’ presented by the National Players Jan. 11, contained an updated dialogue, but left the plot virtually unchanged. Eulpides and Pithetaerus, who abandoned the human race to establish Utopia in Birdland, join Epops, king of the birds, in a plot to serve as intermediaries between earthlings and the gods. 26 Concert Theater
