Theatre at Wilmington College The interest in theatre at Wilmington College did not begin in 1947. In 1918, Miss Hazel Easton, a capable and energetic speech and theatre enthusiast, established the first Speech and Dra- matics Department. Miss Helen McCoy, a student of Miss Easton at the college, was endowed with this same vitality and sustained that interest by fine productions under adverse circumstances. Her results were so effective that, when she asked to return to private life, Wilmington sought actively a teacher who could give adequate emphasis to the theatre program. That person was Hugh Heiland, employed in 1947 with instructions to build a theatre program at Wilmington College, meet the standards of the past, and develop a greater interest from the exciting things that were happening in present day theatre. In 1947 the physical plant consisted of a stage in the south end of the gymnasium with a cyclar- ama of brown velour curtains. There were six spotlights and twenty-four white light bulbs with no means of controlling lights for effect. Two plays were given a year, and the theatre began to grow. As a result of the growing interest in the productions at Wilmington College, a new auditorium was built and dedicated in 1953 with the production of Everyman. Summer theatre was begun in 1955 and even wider areas of interest were reached. This audi- ence grew in numbers and appreciation each year. With the new plant and with the Summer Theatre more experimentation could be attempted, and new means of presentation and various styles of plays were presented. In 1957 Lewis Marcuson was added to the English faculty to assist in the area of theatre. A new curriculum was devised whereby a student could major in English with specialty in language and literature or writing or theatre. As a result of such a program, students specializing in theatre produced many one-act plays as a result of their acting courses and directing courses. These were given in addition to the enlarged program of three major three-act productions each year and three or four summer theatre productions. In sixteen years there have been approximately sixty-five three-act plays and numerous one-act and-experimental plays presented. On two occasions the college theatre group has gone on tour in the winter months visiting public and private schools throughout the East with a concert reading of Antigone in one instance and Taming of the Shrew in another. Both these programs were well received and the reputation of the theatre program at Wilmington College has been greatly en- hanced. With this year’s revival of Everyman the college shows its appreciation for the high quality of its theatre productions and the cultural advances made for the college and community. We are proud of our theatre at Wilmington College. GEORGE W. BOWMAN Chairman, English Department
