not to die. But the question of how he will handle life is left open for the audience to determine. What the audience does know for sure, Says Hardaway, is that Leroy cannot any longer run, as he has been running at society's dictate, down the long, dark corridor of self-destruction. lt's on him now. .Hardaway says that drug ad- diction has no particular appeal to her as subject matter for a play. She chose drug addiction as one of a number of possible metaphors because, Drugs are a handy escape that we in this community and people in many other coni- munities use, she says, just as l have the dream mother escape into the'bottIe. ' Frederick Hayes choreographed the play for her. Anthony Jacobs was the musical director and arranger. There was a live band and Lita Myers, Phyllis Cheek, and Vernon Dent sang the four songs Hardaway had written. , Hardasway says that People's Theater has expressed interest in doinga production oftheshow. ' In Barbara Hardaway's three years at Roxbury Community college, the drama department has increased the number of courses it offers. She teaches public speaking, which is a three credit course that is a requirement to graduate in Humanities. The other two courses she teaches are electives. A survey of drama literature in- cludes plays from the classical Greek, African works, and con- temporary scripts. Opus 'Dubious was put on as part of a theater practicum that involved 35 students and community people, who were welcomed V through an open audition for the parts in the play. u Hartdway is leaving RCC at this term's conclusion. Because of health problems she is moving to Columbus, Georgia for the warmer climate. She says that she's going to rest for a while before she looks for a new theater opportunity. , She has given notice at RCC. Hut she does not know who--if anyone--will be keeping theater alive at Roxbury Community College. Hopefully, the title of her last production there is not a prediction of thefuture tor theater at RCCEV . NW., ix V I U x 1 N I I - ii - . '.
