CANDIDE adapted by James E. Vincent CANDIDE was a chamber theater adaptation of Vol- taire’s novel. The story was told by narration, as well as shown through action. All of the actors played more than one character, most played three or four different roles. The play was very much an ensemble show which made the audience use their imaginations. Various sec- tions of the play were set all over the world. From Germany to South America to ElDorado to Turkey. The play required a lot of hard work and physical prowess of the actors. Cast members include Melinda Detrick, Anita Drda, Chester Douglass, Shawn Taylor Douglass, Tim Evans, Mike Exley, Megan Graham, Dana Ivory, Jodi Maile, Nancy McLoone, Allison Smith, and Jean Zurbrugg. Candide was directed by James E. Vincent, Technical Direction by Douglas G. Hendel, stage manager Bob Murrell. The play was performed February 21-23 1985. CANDIDE wasn't the only experimental presentation this season. The Speech and Theatre Arts Department presented THE GYRE OF THE SLIVEY TOVES as an evening program and a convocation. The presenta- tion combined a new slide system with music, poetry, and stories. Performers included Jan Horning, William E. Coleman, Douglas Hendel, Martin Horning, and James E. Vincent. With technical assistance by Bryant Birr, Shawn Douglass, Mike Exley, Jodi Maile, Nancy McLoone and Andy Mudd.
