LITTLE The Michigan Tech Little Theatre has provided outstanding dramatic entertainment for the college and community since it was organized. ln i949 the Little Theatre produced its first three- act play, Arsenic and Old Lace, sponsored by the Amvets' Concert Committee and directed by Burney B. Bennett. Played at the Hancock High School Auditorium to a capacity audience, the comedy es- tablished the Little Theatre as a truly competent group of actors. T950 saw the Little Theatre bring to the public two famous plays, Angel Street and Blythe Spirit. The former, staged at the Kerredge Theatre, was sponsored by the Faculty Women's Club as a benefit for the Memorial Union Fund. Blythe Spirit, pre- sented at the Hancock High Auditorium, was part of the concert series. Vernie Swenson directed Blythe Spirit, Burney Bennett, Angel Street. T HEATRE Bennett again directed Two Blind Mice in T951 as a benefit for the Hancock Rotary Crippled Chil- dren's Fund. Two other productions, incorporating one-act plays, were staged during that season. During the past season, the Faculty Association and the Faculty VVomen's Club sponsored the three- act play Laura, directed by Bennett, to benefit the Van Slyke Piano Fund of the Alumni Foundation. The final production, Harvey, was sponsored as another benefit for the Rotary Crippled Children's Fund. The Little Theatre owns its own sets, and en- courages membership not only among faculty and students, but community members as well. Presidents of the Little Theatre have been Vernie Swenson, Sherwood Price, Burney B. Bennett, Hance Hamilton, and Theodore Price. Katherine Heideman is president-elect for T952-53.
