CAMPUS PLAYERS APPRENTICES
ALPHA PSI OMEGA is a national honorary dramatic
fraternity which seeks to recognize outstanding
work in college dramatics. Harding's cast is
the Eta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega. To be
eligible one must have shown unusual ability and
interest and, as a further requirement, must have
directed a one act play. The cast has recently set
a precedent of presenting one major production
each year in which, when possible, only members
of Alpha Psi Omega participate. This year's presentation
was Menotti's "The Medium," staring
Marian Rawlings, Pat Rowe, and Meredith Thorn.
In collaboration with Campus Players they pre-
sent, each year, a silver key to the best actor, the
best actress, the best character actor, the best character
actress, the best backstage worker, and the
best director of one act plays.
One act plays were numerous and varied' this
year, providing new students interested in dramatics
with the experience needed for larger productions.
Campus Player productions of the year included
two English plays, "Mr. Pim Passes By"
and "The Importance of Being Earnest" by A. A.
Milne, and "Beyond the Horizon" by the American
playwright, Eugene O'Neill.
MR. PIM queitly passed by, dropping the equivalent
of a bombshell in a sedate British home.
CALIGULA, the half crazy and wholly cruel Roman
emperor in The Robe, was convincingly portrayed
by Meredith Thorn.
