t ;w.,is.ss -t. v' The ETSU theatre, under the department of speech and theatre, combines academic stud- ies and practical production experience to provide a well-rounded education in all phases of theatre arts for students. Courses offered in theatre are acting, direct- ing, design, oral interpretation, theatre history, play writing, and production in all areas of technical theatre. All university students are welcome to par- ticipate in any part of the productions. Inter- ested students may submit lists of play sug- gestions to members of the department for evaluation and consideration for the next year's season. One of the ETSU theatrels productions this year was ttThe Doctor's Dilemmaii written by George Bernard Shaw and directed and de- signed by Harold J. Hunter, with the cast con- sisting of Carl Mallory as Redpenny; Lisa Dockery as Emmy; John Hardy as Sir Colenso Ridgeon; J.J. Birmingham as Mr. Looney Schutzmacher; Richard Miles as Sir Patrick Cullen; Scott Hubbard as Mr. Cutler Walpole; Dennis Elkins as Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bon- nington; Anthony C. Pocheas, Dr. Blenkinsop; Darla K. Ellerson as Mrs. Jennifer Dubedat; James D. Hutchens as Louis Dubedat; Sara Showman as Minnie Tinwell; Anthony Roberts as the ltCardinal ; Greg McPeak as the news- paper man; and Mike Adkins as the secretary. Shaw presents us with one member of a profession which has become centered around his own abilities and power, and who attempts to use that power and ability for per- sonal gratification. Through Shaw's play we are reminded of how easy it becomes to take ourselves too seriously and to follow our mis- directed egos. As comment on the medical profession and humanity, the play is pointed but not caustic, and sparkles with the Shavian wit. The second production of ETSU theatre was ttThe House of Bernarda Alba, written by Federico Garcia Lorca and directed by Harold Frank. The cast consisted of Jeanie Gray as Bernarda; Della M. May as Maria Josefa, An- drea G. Richey as Angustias; Sarah Elaine Havely as Magdalena; Lisa A. Dockery as Amelia; Cynthia J. Smith as Martirio; Donna J. Crawford as Adela; Jane R. Bass as Reveia; ul don't know anything about it. - Debbie Ausmus, English They need to have more plays that people know about or they need to add to the ones they put on. - Cheryl Lewis, Mass Commu- nications I've enjoyed most of their productions. a Ken Smith, Environmental Health Below: Participants in HThe Doctor's Dilemma soothe each other during a performance. Bottom: One performer checks the pulse of another to make sure he only tainted.
