He gives the oudience o high com- edy set in the mogicol English countryside during the 1Q8O's. We met outhor Chorles Condomine, portroyed by Doug Feder- hofer, who is token in by on eccentric Iody medium, Modome Arcoti. Through her, Mr. Condomine is hounted by the spirit of his ex- wife Elviro, ployed by Sondy Horris, ond domineered by his present ond second wife, Ruth, ployed by Kirstin Psurup. Other cost members included Shoron Murro os the moid, Edith, Glenn Willioms os Dr. Brodmon, physicion ond friend of Chorles Condomine, ond Kim Pierre os Mrs. Violet Brodmon. Don Dcivis, the ossistont director ond stoge monoger, commented, 'lThe ploy Mr. Rossmon chose wos o chollenge for us, but we worlsed hord ond put out three successful performoncesf' He went on to soy, Working on the ploy brought o lot of us closer together. One of the hordest things obout doing the ploy wos the tremendous omount of time ond dedicotion thot is required, Every- one wos hoving trouble juggling worls schedules ond homeworls ossignments. There were times when we wonted to quit, to throw in the towel, but we stucls it out. Another difficult port wos leorning the Upper English occent, Foreign exchonge student Bonydo Feldmon wos o big help with thot, recolled Sondy Horris. The cost wos very supportive of eoch other. They were pull- ing for eoch other, os Sondy put it.

As it turned out, they not only leorned from it, but put on o fon- tostic show, In oddition to the cost, people hondling public relotions, publicity, sound, lighting, costumes, ond molse- up were necessory to ensure the success of l'BIithe Spirit. lt tools o lot of hord worls ond devotion. Some students hod to molse socrifices, but ofter it wos oll over, they felt it wos worth it. True Oly spirit, 32 Foil Ploy Ulf
