2 According to Mike Nichols, new drama coach at SSC, the essential quality for being an actor is being able to totally become the person you are portraying. If the audience doesn't forget we are players on the stage, then the whole purpose is defeated, Nichols added. After presenting All My Sons by Arthur Miller, early in October, the cast took this widely acclaimed production to Oklahoma City for competition in the American Theater Festival. Nichols claimed the festival was an educational experience for all. Other produc- tions staged for audience enjoyment were Aesop's Fallables in December and Experiment I in the spring. All in all, drama at SSC for the year was at its best. New changes and anticipation of things to come are already in the thoughts of those within this department. Their motto-- Life is theater and theater is life, is practiced by most of the dedicated players. Page 30-1. Chuck Ladd, member of the college players. 2.
