'Private Lives' Stars Have
Personal Interest In Show
There's a good deal of sentiment wrapped up in Players' "Private
Lives," especially for the show's two stars.
For Richard Powdrell it means the fulfillment of a long-standing
desire to do a play by Noel Co
ward, a personal idol. Robert D.
Reifsneider, the show's director,
says, "Dick practically begged to
be allowed to try out for this one."
Anne Wahl's emotional tie-up
with the show is simpler. When
"Lives" closes, she will leave
Players and the College, to be
married.
The two together are an in
teresting combination. Powdrell
has a clipped, almost flippant way
about him which probably helped
more than anything else in get
ting him the lead in the sophisti
cated, brittle show. Miss Wahl, in
person, is rather intense, quite
warm. Reifsneider believes it is
this personal warmth which per
mits her to play so convincingly
the mature rolls she often takes
with Players. Last year's theater
goers will remember her as a mid
dle-aged maid in "Kind Lady,"
and the still-glamorous mother of
a grown daughter in "Yes, My
Darling Daughter."
Wants To Write
Powdrell, too, worked in
"Daughter," switching off with
Bryson Craine in the male in
genue role. A Liberal Arts senior,
he came to Players by way of
Five O'Clock theater. Profession
ally, he's more interested in the
writing end of the theater. Al
though he wants to write plays
and fiction, he may take a mas-

ter's degree in accounting since,
in his words, "You gotta eat."
Describing "Private Lives," he
says, "It's a play I've always
wanted to do. It's utterly mean
ingless, and completely enjoy
able." Miss Wahl goes into less
detail, only saying, "I'm crazy
about the play."
Asked for any distinguishing
characteristics, Miss Wahl says,
"I'm left-handed, I was a life
guard for two summers, and I've
got a little brother who's a frosh
—he buttons." This last with ges
tures.
Miss Wahl, a junior in sociology,
is a native of State College and
came to Players by way of Town
and Nine, 'a local dramatic group.
Reifsneider saw her in "The Night
of January Sixteenth" with
Town and Nine, and asked her
to try out for "Kind Lady."
In contrast, Powdrell is a rela
tive foreigner. A New. Yorker, he
spent his freshman year at Cham
plain college in the Empire state.
As to why he came to Penn State,
he just says, "I had a cousin here
who got me in."
Reifsneider is quite happy
about both his stars. He predicts
a successful six-week run for
them in the Coward opus. "High
comedy is one of the most dif
ficult things to do," he says, "and
these two have the sense of tim
ing and acting ability for it."
