Roosevelt's Metropolitan Players, directed by Miss Anna Helen Reuter, delighted audiences this year with their renditions of The Grass Harp, Dark of the Moon and Medea. Five RU students made their debuts in the Met Players' season opener, a theater-in-the-tound production of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp. This comedy fantasy shows how the pure in heart, like the meek, inherit the earth through a greater capacity for love than most aggressive people. All the common impulses of the world are enlisted against a trio who find sanctuary in a tree house. The penetrating character portrayal, the rich, comic dialogue, and a final scene written with great tenderness make The Grass Harp an original, disarming, gifted piece of writing. Witches, conjour people, a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and an odd assortment of just plain humans went to mke up a delightful rendition by the Met Players of William Berney and Howard Richardson's drama, Dark of the Moon. There is singing, dancing, and comedy in this unusual drama which revolves around the love of a witch boy for a human girl and has as its setting the Smoking Mountains. The down- to-earth dialogue of these common mountain people is flavored with much humor, and at the same time each scene holds tremendous dramatic impact. Robinson Jeffers' version of Euripedes' famed Medea was the third featured performance this season. Unlike most university theater groups, which limit active participation in drama productions to speech majors, the Metropolitan Players is open to all full-time university students.
