'at a staff cast, colmful costumes,
r stupendous set and carefully woik
effout lighting effects, the Penn State
Players will stage their sole presen
tation of Euripides' drama, "Medea,"
tomm ion night azi the Auditorium at
eight-thnty o'clock
Departing from the usual modern
type of play the organization is mak
ing this ancient Greek drama, first
pei formed in the year 431 13. C., the
most artistic and outstanding of their
productions this year The methods
of the classic theater are being fol
lowed in all respects, pioducrig an
emotional, picturesque and highly im
aginative effect
1333=1
Miss Dorothy Musser '27, onc of
the Player's most capable actresses,
still enact the lending tole, Medea,
which demands a strong emotional
display, exceptional soice control and
1 owasful acting. The character of
Jason will be portrayed by G. A.
knight '3O, a newcomer to the Play
er's tanks In addition to the prin
cipals who are eleven in another,
thole is a dancing chorus of eleven
girls which will be on the stage fin
almost the entree duration of toe
play
The scene of "Medea" is laid in
Cotrith befoie the palmed palace of
Medea It is designed and lighted in
such a way as to convey the mood of
the‘play lather than to create a re
alistic background The set, being
the highest eves erected in the Audi
torium, demanded much case and la
bor in its construction
Two Stages
Accoiding to the ancient Clock
mode the stage is divided into too
levels connected by several steps. Up
on the upper level the principals ap
pear and enact then - roles. The
chorus lemains on the lower level for
ftactically the - entire lerigth- of the
rley. dancing inteipictively with
rhythm and grace
Costumes have been designed with
the idea of fultheling the portia.val
of the mood of the theme and of re
producing the ancient Greek manner
