Director sets fast pace for play When director Rolf Olson said, llReady, start, rehearsals for llCharley's Aunt were off and running. The spring play was an English farce about young love. To keep an 1890's farce moving at a 1983 pace was the challenge that faced this welI-balanced cast. During rehearsals, one of the methods used by Olson was strict timing of scenes and acts with stop- watch accuracy. llTiming is important for a play like this so that there is no lagging, and in order to bring out the comedy, Olson said. The spring play centered around two young men in college who wished to engage the company of two young ladies. When their chaperone does not show up, a substitute is found in a classmate who dresses in women's clothes, and the chaos begins with mistaken identities. Shawn Janes,' who played the butler, said, llThe rehearsals sometimes didn't go all that smoothly, but co-actor Nick Lehnertz helped considerably and was the highlight of all rehearsals. Jon Olson thought that the cast did uunbelievably well. Darla Best, the company's costumer, said lllt was a good cast. They did well and enjoyed what they did. The play ran three performances.
