•THE PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT’ ENTERTAINS. The University theatre presented its first play, “Period of Adjustment” by Tennessee Williams, in early November under the direction of John Munscll. Bobby Price as Ralph Bates and Mardcll DeJung as his wife portrayed the veteran married couple, while Richard Pinney as George Havcrstick and Julie Dem-gen as Mrs. Havcrstick represented a young couple attempting to adjust to the onset of marriage. Both couples surprisingly found the same situations in this adult comedy that every husband and wife have gone through and which every future couple must endure. Some of the viewers of this play may have actually found themselves laughing at themselves rather than at the characters. The setting of the play was Christmas Eve in the suburban Nashville home of Ralph Bates where both the Havcrsticks and the Bates were on the verge of having no Christmas at all. Uncommon to a typical Williams ending, Period of Adjustment” had a happy ending for those involved. Supporting roles were performed by Ronnie Mason as Suzie; Ellen Ann Jones as Mrs. McGillicuddy; Rol-land Heiss as Mr. McGillicuddy; and Moffatt Evans as the police officer. George Havcrstick (Dick Pinney) and Ralph Bate . (Bobby Price) discuss marital adjustment.
