Ex- posure to advanced and professional drama productions, such as trips to Scott Theatre and Casa Manana, provide backround essential to the developement of the drama stu- dent. With their fall production of Heaven Can Wait the drama students, again, showed their multi-talents both on and off stage. 22 DRAMA
