Left: Dean Arlin Meyer ad- dresses the Christ College freshman class before the opening of their original production. Bonds of friendship and a sense of family characterize the Christ College community. The annual freshman production contributes to this atmosphere. Starting from scratch, the students write their own script, including originally composed music, and design a set and costumes in the few months allotted to them. Past shows have left their audiences with thoughtful and often profound insights. This year's production was no exception. The 90-minute original opened Friday night, Nov. 8, and played to capacity crowds for each of the four performances that weekend. The play's theme reflected the present generation's concern over the world's future, which hangs in the shadow of a nuclear age. Their vision of peace, however, presented a stark reality for the audience - that national, racial and religious barriers can only disappear with the destruction of society as we know it. So that they might live, survivors of the devastated earth had to solve world problems dealing with government, education, religion and population by breaking down long- standing barriers. The freshmen used short, but innovative, intense and often humorous scenes against a simple set to relay their message. The message was effectively given and painfully received: if we are to survive to see our future, present and past prejudices must be fogotten. - Katherine Volz Christ College Freshmenw29

irandello's Six Characters revhahzed by Paul's modern interpretation The Valparaiso University Theater opened its 1985-86 season with Italian playwright Luigi Pirendello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, a play which deals with the question of who is more real: a man whose reality constantly changes, or a character whose reality remains the same forever? The play opens with actors rehearsing a play. They are interrupted by six strange figures claiming an escape from a moment in which their author has trapped them by abandoning his play. The director, 30w5ix Characters enthralled by the story but not quite believing it, decides to create a new play by re-enacting the events which the characters relate. These events include a father who meets his estranged wife's daughter in a bordello, the interruption of that meeting by the mother, and the father's adoption of his wife's three illegitimate children into his household. The tension created by the accusing older daughter and the resentful legitimate son causes anguish for the mother and feelings of isolation for the two younger children. The tension peaks with the death of the one younger child and the suicide of the other. Both deaths occur on stage before the stunned director and actors, sparking the final debate by the actors on the illusion or reality of the characters and events they have just witnessed. These themes, while fascinating for the student of literature, can become torturous for an audience. Although there are two intermissions, the characters and actors are on stage for the entirelplay delivering long speeches made confusing by complex dialogue. Further, the play was written in 1921 and much of the language is simply outdated. Enter John Steven Paul, director. Rather than Choosing to do the play as written, Paul took the script, left the characters true to Pirandelio, and brought the actor's role up-to-date.
