Director chooses dyficult play See How They Run, presented November 13 and 14, was a very fast-paced English farce according to Director Kent Chapman. I chose this play because time was running out, and I didn't have another one picked to do, said Mr. Chapman. I had worked with this play some years ago and thought it a good one, so I thought I'd try it again. The cast really did a good job, said Mr. Chapman. He explained that many of the characters were difficult to portray, and half of the cast was inexperienced in theater work. An awful lot of time was spent on the production because it is such a difficult one to do, he added. There were no major changes from previous years except for the fact that all but one of the cast members were seniors. Ken Murray, soph., who took care of sound backstage, said, The play was extremely fast paced, so the cast had to be alert in order to catch their cues. Then they would have to rush on stage, say a line, and rush off again. This was what made the play so very difficult. Mr. Chapman was pleased with attendance at the two performances. I saw the play and thought it was pretty good, said Gilda Polley, jr. l've been in four other plays, but I think this was the most fun to do even though our parts were a little hard, commented Janice Butts, sr. 4 et'Penel0 Luz.
