THEATRE ARTS The Department of Theatre Arts at Emerson is unique in that its goals are several and highly diversi- fied. The student may gear his curriculum toward ed- ucational theatre, theatre performance, directing, play- writing, or any phase of the technical aspects of theatre including lighting, costume and stage design. These areas, although taught in classrooms, are put into practice many times throughout the college year. The first major production of the year was The Glass Menagerie directed by Mr. Leo Nickole, chair- man of the department. The cast, production crew, and production designers were all students. Every method of theatrical presentation is explored in depth in order to afford each student an oppor- tunity to know and fully understand the theatre of yesterday and how it applies to today’s new and ex- perimental styles, i.e., readers’ theatre, arena theatre as exemplified in the production of Valpone,” and formalistic productions such as U.S.A., with em- phasis on the script rather than on scenic and tech- nical elements. Through patient guidance and en- lightened growth, the student of the theatre is well prepared to meet any challenge the professional stage may present. The Emerson tradition of Learning by Doing manifests itself to the highest refinement in the Department of Theatre Arts. The Glass Menagerie” U.S.A.” Heidi” Valpone” 88
