11 P l ft ' ' i ' ffi K ■ 4 i ■ jif %, ;» ; i.| 1 r J Gene Garrison loved his mother. He always wanted to love his father. When he left his father ' s home, he took the first right, the second left, and kept going. Sometimes every effort to communicate, accommodate, and to feel love only leads to alienation. Taylor University was confronted with this dilemma in Robert Anderson ' s I Never Sang For My Father. The play, directed by Dr. Oliver Hubbard, was presented Homecoming week- end, October 24-26 and the following weekend, October 31-November 2. In the play, Tom Garrison (George Conant) felt his children were benefits for his later years. His wife Margaret (Jennifer Mighell) thought of them as treasures. Their daughter, Alice, (Elaine Beavon) was banished from family and responsibility because of her marriage to a Jewish man. Gene Garrison (Brian Smith) is the son who willingly provides support that his father never gave his mother. Gene seeks to create a support- ive relationship with his father. Others appearing in I Never Sang For My Father include Toby Shope, who played the porter Waiter and Ginger Ducker as Mary. The nurse, Janet Halsy, was played by Beth Curran. Jim Wolff appeared as Reverend Pell, Robert Hartwell as Marvin, Kurt Knuth as Dr. May- berry and Jamey Schmitz as Mr. Scott. I Never Sang For My Father 21
