A Change of Scenery Changing scenery is just one of the many events which takes place behind the cur- tain. The fact is, it takes a number of hours to make a production go well, and it all falls in the hands of Bob Gardner, the director of Lafayette's drama productions. The first and most important thing which has to be done, explained Gardner, is to choose the right play. Gardner chose Har- vey for the fall production. l was looking for a classical and well written, famous play which had a good message to it. Har- vey seemed to be it. Harvey was a comedy about a man, Elwood, who was continuously embarrass- ing his sister Veta and niece, Myrtle Mae, by talking to his Pukka, a six-foot-two, white rabbit, which he called Harvey. The rabbit was invisible and only appeared when and where it wanted to, making Elwood and his family the laughing stock of society. Meanwhile, Veta tried to get Elwood commited to a sanitarium, Chum- ley's Rest. The play ended with Dr. Chum- ley trying to get the Pukka for himself, after seeing that the Pukka had brought Elwood good luck. The rabbit then Ricky Barbour makes Mark Eblen up as he prepares to go on stage in Harvey. iN.

The only real problems we had con- cerning Harveyf' explained Gardner, involved the two different sets which had to be switched and some of the lines, which seemed to be hard for the actors to memor- ize. Otherwise, everything went pretty smoothly. When Gardner was asked about what he looked for when choosing characters, he replied, Annabelle Fuller portrayed by Lisa Land, relieve herself from the disappointment oflosing her home, Q! Because of the rainy weather for the past two days, Annabelle Fuller expresses her anger at her husban Madge, her guests, and the Fullers, are forced to stay Newton, after learning that he has bought the hous inside and are bored stiff. she has just looked at. -.
