Permit No. The Court Players Present: NEW PRODUCTIONS Shakespeare, Kelly Sz Martin: While Shakespeare Slept: When Shakespeare Woke lVloliere's: Tartulie Oscar Wilde: The Importance of Being Earnest The fall and spring production schedule of the Court Players has been exciting. fun and entertaining. Sister Carolyn Martin, Dean of Students and Director, with the help of Kim Hanadel '82, and Patty Donegan '82, President and Vice President of the Court Players have presented two very successful productions - with a third under rehearsal at the moment. The first presentation of the year was in November. A Shakespearian entertainment, While Shakespeare Slept is a one-act comedy by Tim Kelly set in 16th Century London. The second half of the Shakespearian entertainment was a very clever sequence of notable scenes from his major plays: for example The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth woven together with original dialogue written by Sister Carolyn Martin and narrated by Holly Geiges '82 and Patty Donegan '82 l The second major undertaking was the production of Tartuffe a 17th Century satire by the French master of comedy, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Moliere. In this play the author attacks religious hypocrisy, as embodied in his villian Tartuffe. ln his role as spiritual guide, Tartuffe has virtually taken over the running of the household, as well as enslaving the minds and hearts of Orgon, a bourgeois gentleman, and his mother, Madame Pernelle. This February produc- tion starred Michelle Olexson '83, Patricia Daly '82, Kim Hanadel '82, Lynn DeSalvatore '82, Joan Costello '81, Sharon Mericle '84 and Maryann Naessens '84. The final production for the season will be Oscar Wilde's Victorian comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest. The work's brilliance lies in its dialogue, not in its simple marriage plot or its characters. Giving free rein to extravagant absurdities Wilde does not even attempt to make his characters credible. Again a strong cast, well directed and obviously enjoying their work, gives great credence to the Court Players and the wonderful entertainment they have provided for the Georgian Court College community, guests and friends this year.

OUR JUBILARIANS 'INNO Sisters of Mercy, well-known and loved by the Georgian Court College community have celebrated important events in their lives. Sister Mary Consolata Carroll has been a Sister of Mercy for sixty yearsg and Sister Mary Demetria McDade has celebrated fifty years with the Sisters of Mercy. Sister Mary Consolata Carroll entered the Sisters of Mercy at Mt. St. Mary Novitiate, in North Plainfield, N.J. on January G, 1921. Sisters affiliation with Georgian Court College began before she became a Sister of Mercy. Born Alice Viola Carroll, she attended public schools in her hometown, Rome, N.Y. After graduating from Pratt Institute she began teaching Home Economics at Georgian Court, which was then called Mt. St. Mary's College. When the College moved to Lakewood, Sister found herself teaching French at Cathedral High School in Trenton, N.J. She also pursued graduate work in English at Fordham Univer- sity, N.Y., and did advanced studies at Middle- bury, Vermont, and at Cambridge and Oxford in England. It was not long before she was teaching English on the Lakewood campus and writing her autobiographical books, Pray Love Remember and I Hear ln My Heart. Sister Consolata soon knew what it meant to be inter- viewed on racliog reviewed in the New York Times and chosen as a Catholic Book-of-the Month Club author. She chaired the English Department at G.C.C. until she was selected to be the Director of Alumnae Affairs, a post for which she was the ideal choice because of her long association with the college and because of her love and devotion to each Courtier. Sister is now retired and residing at McAuley Hall, North Plainfield. Sister Mary Demetria McDade entered the convent at Mount Saint Ma.ry's, Plainfield in 1930. Before entering Sister had graduated from Trenton Normal School tnow Trenton Stateig and taught for two years.

Sister Demetria has her Masters degree from Villanova University and has done advanced graduate studies at Harvard, Cambridge, Notre Dame and Georgetown.
