Increasing student interest in the Field of drama cultivated through Proscenium Club membership Very few clubs at Seaholm can boast two hundred and fifty members, bdt Proscenium can. The club officers and their adviser Mr. Richard Bagg envisioned a busy year when they decided to accept every applicant, and their expecta- tions proved correct. The club is not only for those interested in acting. Behind-the-scenes'workers are just as necessary: props must be found, costumes pro- vided for, lighting and sodnd arranged, and tickets sold. Much work went into Dark of the Moon , a blend of fantasy, comedy, tragedy, music, and dancing, which was Proscenium Club's major undertaking for this year. Their efforts were well received by the six hundred people fortunate enough to see it. The club enjoyed the entertainment of others, Mr. Bagg, adviser for Proscenium, deftly applies the make- too. At the two Thursday meetings of the month the group often watched a well known film. A special treat was Under Milkwood , cr chamber theater production presented by a dramatics class for Proscenium members. Several times during the year, the group was able to view plays by professional groups in the Detroit area. The Fisher Theater productions of Walking Happy , Half A Six Pence , and Man of La Mancha were just a few that club members attended. For theater enthusiasts Proscenium fulfilled its purpose. The club provided entertainment while furthering the education of its members in the field of drama. The club membership itself re- fiected the growing interest this area of the arts is enjoying among Seaholm students. and Doug Wassell laugh over the difference in appearance up on Chris Charlton while Pam'Martin looks on.
