Conflict in modern play seen close-up Adjusting to small audiences, Drama club chose a play with a small cast and intimate action and made room for their patrons on stage. Similar to fashionable theater-in-the-round, the ar¬ rangement solved voice projection prob¬ lems for the actors and brought the audience near to the quiet interplay of personality among performers. “The Member of the Wedding” fo¬ cused on entanglement and search for identity of three people: Frankie Adams, played by Becky Guy; Bernice Sadie Brown, motherly confidante, acted by Marsha Morris; and John Henry West, performed by Robert Curtis. Two matinees and two evening per¬ formances were necessary to accommo¬ date audiences in the limited space available for seating. The unique set was built by members of the club with sev¬ eral unusual props obtained from In¬ diana University Northwest Campus and Wirt high school. Lighting was ar¬ ranged by Bob Miller and Charlie Davis. John Henry (Robert Curtis) lets Bernice (Marsha Morris) listen to the ocean in his Frankie (Becky Guy), Bernice (Marsha Morris), and John Henry (Robert Curtis) discuss Bernice’s past husbands as they eat their evening dinner. 14
