The Applause That Refreshes Cultural activity in New Wil- mington? It was no further than Orr Auditorium, Beeghly The- atre, or Wallace Memorial Chapel. The wide range of activities included the Celebrity Series, student theatre pro- ductions and the Mostly Music Series. The Celebrity Series was a program of major traveling productions which performed for the students and the gen- eral public. Planning by Dean Ellen Hall began in December of the pre- ceeding year to obtain such Tony Award winners as Da (a comedy by Hugh Leonard) and Ain ' t Misbehavin ' (a Fats Waller musical revue.) May- nard Ferguson was a popular Home- coming attraction. Later the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre heralded the Yuletide season with Tschaikovsky ' s The Nut- cracker Suite. Shields and Yarnell, a last minute replacement for the cancelled Kras- nayarsk Soviet Dance Company, was an overwhelming hit. Their pantomime and dancing antics were remembered and laughed over long afterwards. Student productions generally num- bered three or four per year and were under the supervision of the Speech and Theatre Department. Those involved took their art seriously and provided many highly entertaining shows which were free to students. Cathy Spoa, a senior theatre major, felt her participation had been benefi- cial as well as fun. The most valuable acting lesson for me has been to learn about myself. But the real fun goes on backstage. While the productions included The Runner Stumbles, The Water Engine, and Alice In Wonderland, the Richard Rodgers musical comedy, Two By Two, seemed to be the audience ' s favorite. It was the first to receive a standing ova- tion in two years. It was definitely the best one I ' ve seen yet, said Doris To- maselli. It shows what gifted and tal- ented people are on campus. The Mostly Music Series, designed for listening and learning, featured the Young Concert Artists — members of the professional organization founded to discover and launch young unknown musicians. Although most performers were mu- sicians, there was an occasional special event presented for series patrons. The Iron Clad Agreement, a repertory the- atre, was one such special event. The Blue Grass music of the McClain Fam- ily Band completed the series, jpm -Robin Speer H RESERVED TICKETS ■ MUST BE PICKED UP BY ■ 745 ■ PERFDRMANCE NI8HT H| REtTIIIIKTER tTUKNTt - W cum TlCttW lETIEEII w t:oo WD 7:io •CRFOmMKC NICHT 8
