A creative touch Creative expression is a Vital aspect of the community here at Sienai Our creative groups concern themselves with such varied endeavors as journalism, literature, the theatre and music. Despite these differences in focus they have one thing in common; over the past year all of these groups have experienced new growth and improvements For the first time in its history, Sienals theatre group had a full-time directort From the time Mark Heckler was hired, in the Spring of 1979, he has worked to improve every aspect of theatre at Siena. He spent the entire summer rewiring a new lighting system and making several other technical improvements. He worked closely with the members of the theatre board and, togetheri they decided to change the group's name from The Little Theatre to a more professional Stage III, Stage III was much larger this year than it has been in the past and Mr. Heckler made a great effort to involve all students, especially freshman in its activities. The Coffee House, Sienals alternative to the rowdy party routine, enjoyed increased popularity this year due to a combination of factors, including the improved quality of the performers and an active Coffee House staff. Coffee House had its greatest success with the Open House performances, in which talented student performers had the Chance to become stars for an evening. From its beginnings last year, the Jazz Ensemble has grown in size and musical ability. Under a new director, loseph Benville, a graduate of the College of St; Rose, the Ensemble practiced weekly. Several successful concerts were presented both on campus and in local high schools, The Schola Cantorum participated in many activities this year. W. ludson Rand, the Choirls director, led the group in the MiniePop Concert and Iiturgies held on campus The highlight of Schola's year was the annual Nativity Pageanti in which the Christmas story was reenacted while songs of the season were sung. tcontinued on page 24l 22 'ENA THEATRI COME HERE TONIGHT AND SEE WHY 7100 Stage Three Board of Directors Chris loele, Chair; Marie Connors, sec. treas.
