Kicks off The New Season! The Theatre department kicked off its 198 season with its production of Eudora Welty ' s play The Robber Bridegroom. The performance, directed by Ken Zimmerman and choreographed by Su- san Chrietzberg, not only allowed the ac- tors a chance to obtain a measure of the all-important, hands on experience; but also, it allowed the audience the oppor- tunity for countless smiles and laughs. A single set was used throughout the entire course of the action; scene changes were accomplished by means of the manipulation of barrels, boxes, boards, and quilts by a chorus of towns- people, whose costumes, along with the costumes of the other cast members, were made by Dr. Douglass Koertge. Donna Kimble stuns the audience by personifying Rosamund. Photos by T. Lillard Jamie, Barton Breen, contemplates his next meeting with Rosamund. Rosamund is dismayed upon learning of her father ' s plan to marry her off to Jamie. THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM 19
