Title
1981 Yearbook
Description
A WORLD
OF ITS
OWN
Act I begins and the audience
is miraculously transported to
the future, the past, or some
faraway place in the present.
Privacy is stripped away and
lust, power, greed, hate, love
and humanity are artfully revealed. Talented actors and
technicians join efforts to
create a magical fantasy land
... a play.
Magical perhaps to the audience, but not to the many different people involved in producing a play. Their magic potion consists of hard work,
determination, and skill. The
audience's few hours of pleasure in the result of many
weeks planning and work.
In planning a theatrical season, choosing the right play is
vital. After the plays have
been chosen, students must
be selected to fill the various
roles. This is done at open auditions — where all students,
not just theater majors, are
encouraged to audition.
Those chosen show skill, potential and a little luck sometimes.
After the actors are selected,
rehearsals begin. Rehearsals
generally last from three to
four weeks, depending upon
the show and the director.
