26 Plays A NIGHT IN COURT On the 16th of January, near mid- night, the body of a man came hurtling through space and crashed, a disfigured mass, at the foot of the Faulkner build- ing. The murder trial took place on the West High stage, and the fate of the suspect, Karen Andre, accused of murdering Bjorn Faulkner, was placed in the hands of the audience. The special effects in this play included witnesses stationed in the auditorium, a jury selected from the audience, and a possibility of a different verdict each Above: Handwriting expert Jane Chandler fsenior Barb Postl does a little squirming under the cross examination of Defense Attorney Stevens tsopho- more Lori Leipoldj.

The play was first performed at West in 1969, in the cafeteria, before the audito- rium was completed. Once again, Mr. Holzworth directed this play, only now he has the benefit ofa full-sized stage, and a huge set designed by Mr. Cervantes. As both sides of the story unfolded, the jury was left with a crucial decision, but the surprise after the verdict left both opinions satisfied. As the watcher left the auditorium, even after the verdict was an- nounced, he had to decide for himself if Karen Andre was guilty of the murder. i -r lg 4 if S 5 ' 3 A - . .W x Zia! 5 1 if .5 ,:ff79?:'?-fiii-, A 15 4 iW,gx,f2 A T, 'K KM al bf. ....,.f gs - f-R 3 2 X l M i li A 5 i . ,,.,..R- LVM. -1 ii i .,.,....4.. .....t...,.a..,tt..., ...- ..
