Last supper: Magdala tells her story to other Marys. The first major production of the year, Family Portrait, was presented in the new auditorium on November 28, 29, 1951. For many years all plays at Hendrix have been given in the Little Theatre, without proper seating arrangements, lighting systems, and other necessities of play production. This play, not only the first of the season, but also the first to be presented in the new auditorium, opened with a record crowd and ran two nights consecutively. In Family Portrait, a cast of over forty present- ed a story centered upon the family of Christ during the two years before the Crucifixion. The theme of the play was universal; the setting and costuming, worked out by the Art Depart- ment, were in accordance timeless. Mary prepares to introduce bitter brothers to Judas.
