A PLAY OF many questions and answers, in ‘The GREAT Nebula in Orion’, Susan Shumaker wonders over the problems of life. LOUISE, AS PLAYED by Erica Pash, ponders over memories of times past in ‘The Great Nebula in Orion.’ a Path And Shumaker Debut In Starring Roles In the spring, Manchester’s Tryptich Players tried something new and different for the student body. Four one-acts were performed instead of one major play. The plays, “Opening Night,” “The Flattering Word,” “The Great Nebulai in Orion’ and “Triffles’ were done in repetoire—the de- partment gave two each night, alternating plays each evening. The stage was arranged different than usual for these performances. The drama department experimented with “thrust production’ —the audience sat in a semi- circle around the stage—a “theatre in the round.” In this way, the audience fel t a part of the play and was able to become involved in the emotions of the actors. The purpose of the plays was to introduce the students to American drama, each of the plays being written by an American author. STARS OF ‘THE Flattering Word,’ Kelly Shea and Lee Smilek perfom to perfection after many long hours of practice. CHESTERFIELD COUNTY LIBRARY VIRGINIA One Acts 21
