Studio Theatre to put Criminal
Hearts on show for community
by Douglas Smith
co-features editor
The Studio Theatre is putting on
a new production at the end of
March and into the beginning of
April. The play is entitled Criminal
Hearts and is a comedy by Jane
Martin. There arc five main char
acters, and auditions are the 7 and 8
of this month.
If you have read the posters
around campus you know what the
play entails.
This play is described as a cross
between Thelma and Louise and The
Goiters. It is full of brilliant and
quirky comedy. Ata Windust is at a
crossroads in her life. As the wife
of successful attorney Wib Windust,
Ata lived at the center of the Chi
cago social whirl. Now she is a hit
more than slightly out of her mind,
living alone in her apartment amid
piles of very sharp pencils, empty
pizza boxes, and Dr. Pepper cans.
That is, until 80, a female burglar,
and Robbie, her slightly inept get
away man, break into her life,
through her bedroom window. Ata

perspective on the world.
This play will take place on March

As mentioned, there are five char
acters, all of which are open for au

fears and phobias. She is in a lot of
trouble. Bo is a griller in good times
and a burglar in bad times. Truth is
far from being a worry for her.
Robbie is Bo's getaway man. He has
a low-down sex appeal and a passion
for malted milk balls. Wib is a man
in the worst sense of the word. He is
also Ata's estranged husband and an
attorney. Mrs. Carnahan is an off
stage voice and is Ata's older neigh
bor.

low rehearsal schedule. That means
that the stage managers will be
needed for the February 7 and 8 au
ditions, and the first rehearsal on
February I I. The show begins on
March 31 and runs through April
9, so this will be when a stage
manager's workload is heaviest.
There is no rehearsal over Spring
Break. The requirements for stage
managers are energy, a flexible
schedule, organizational skills, and
of course, self-motivation. This is
a vital part of the performance, so
the position of stage manager
should not be neglected.
Behrend has no theater major, so
roles are open to not only all stu
dents but all staff and community
actors. Therefore, the competition
for the parts will be stiff. Scripts
are available for review at the Penn
State Behrend library reserve desk.
