The Penn State Arts Company from
University Park gave a live performance for
the Arts I class on October 10. The
Company consists of 13 graduate students
who are working for a M. A. in Fine Arts.
The 11 actors, 3 technicians and stage
hand, tour 8 campuses a term and have a
reportoire of 15 pieces ranging in time
from one minute to an hour. Their main
piece is the "Glass Managerie" by
Tennessee Williams.
Using the student lounge for a stage,
the Company presented three short pieces.
"Wandering" from COLLISION COURSE
was written by the young playwright, Land
Wilson. It needed no props or customes. It
moved at a fast pace- the entire life of one
man was portrayed in only three minutes.
A segment from Clifford Odetts' SID &
FLORENCE titled "Waiting for Lefty" was
the second selection. A few props and
costumes were used to take the audience
back to the Depression. "Camera Obscura"
by Robert Patrick was a quick look into
the future, using time as a confusing and
uncontrollable concept.
The setting then moved to the garden
outside the Main Building where scenes
from "Macbeth" were performed on the
fire escape. Their arrival was greatly
appreciated by the Arts I class and by the
few curious students who just happened to
drop in. Anyone who missed this fine
Company by passed the chance to see some
great professional actors doing their best.
