In the role of the fashion magazine editor whose subconscious
thoughts and dreams form the basis for the plot of,the musical play,
Miss Tilles will be on- stage for
She will have nine costume
changes, and for the first time she
will be required both to• dance

the Moss Hart fantasy will end
a career in Players which began
two years ago when she appeared

performance which "kept the
pieces of the show together."
Last year Sunny alternated in
both female roles in the Center
Stage production of Tennessee
Williams' "The Glass Menagerie."
She played both the domineering
mother and the sensitive young
'daughter. She also appeared as
the simple servant girl, Julie, in
Ferenc Molnar's "Liliom," and as
Lady Capulet in Shakespeare's
"Romeo and Juliet."
This year she has been seen at
Center Stage in such widely dif
ferent roles as that of the nagging
old wife. Florence Goodman, in
Irwin Shaw's "The Gentle Peo
ple," and the young prostitute,
Kitty Duval, in William Saroyan's
"The Time of Your Life."
Sunny started her dramatic
training at the widely-known
Hedgerow Theatre, while attend
ing West Philadelphia High
School.

Carnegie Institute of Technology
she appeared in college produc
tions of Rose Franken's "Another
