Title
1949 Yearbook
Description
Students in Drama classes and all those interested in stage productions from St. Ambrose
and Marycrest colleges organize a Dramatic
club each year and become the producers of
the hits that are presented throughout the
school year.
The Ambrosian Players, working in conjunction with the Marycrest Players, successfully sponsored two of the four productions of
this year, "The Male Animal" and "MacBeth",
as well as participating in the two Marycrest
offerings, "Victoria Regina" and "As You Like
It."
"Male Animal", a comedy satire on college
life, was presented on the Homecoming weekend last Fall by the Ambrosians. Three performances of this production were held in the
Marycrest auditorium and it was repeated in
Keokuk, Iowa, under the auspices of the Loras
Council of the Knights of Columbus. Students
appearing in this play were: Dick Cruse, Denis
Mahoney, Carl Koos, Don Wooten, John Costello, Tim O'Connell and Tom McGinn. Jack
Sherwin served as stage manager and Joe
Lauber handled lighting for the production.
The Shakespearian production of last season, "Midsummer Night's Dream", proved to be
so popular with the audiences that two of
Shakespeare's plays were placed on the
agenda this season. The Ambrosian Players
selected the tragedy "MacBeth" to end their
season.
All the productions of this season were under
the direction of Charles Costello and his assistants, Frank Getlein and Rev. Francis Marlin.
