After Thanksgiving the Theater Department and the Pioneer Players produced Lion in Winter on two consecutive weekends. The play cen- ters around hHenry Ms argunnents with his wife Eleanor over his mistress Alais, and which of his three sons will take over the crown when he dies. The characters in the story are Ingen- ious and treacherous, all trying to outsmart the others and have things go their way. Karen Corrado played a convincingly sincere Alals to associ- ate professor Tom Brennan ' s Henry. The two interacted well throughout, with the bearish Brennan towermg over Karen. The three princes were played by Marc Slavln, Carl Battag- lla, and Tom McCormlck. Each mas- tered their roles, playing a fool, a connlver. and a lion-hearted warrior respectively. The thrill of the eVening came from Henry ' s wife who was played by the noted actress Kim Hunter. Phillip was played by Jack Petty and Eleanor ' s ladies in waiting were played by Catherine Lotwis and Susan Merchant. Hunter and Brennan put in memo- rable performances, jabbing at each other at all times with quick sharp lines, each fighting for the upper hand in the relationship. Along with these fine performances, the 30 foot set of the interior of an old castle Impressed many people. The set was designed by Harold Thrasher and built by students who often worked Into ' early morning hours. The most Impressive aspect of the set was the way walls turned Into stairways and stairways into fire places In a matter of seconds between acts. The actors and actresses along with the stage crew and everyone else Involved put in a lot of hard work, and it showed. S5
