5 O'clock
Opens 4th
Penn State's experimental workshop Five O'clock Theater will
begin its fourth• season at 5 p.m. today with the script-in-hand pre
sentation of "And Come to Yesterday," an original one-act play by
Richard Martz, a senior in journalism. There is no admissiOn charge.
No make-up or elaborate costumes and scenery will
,be used in
the Little Theater ' in the basement of Old Main. For this is "drama
in a test tube," according to man
ager Renee Kluger, and the pri
mary purpose is not to put on a
polished performance, but to show
the playwright what he has done
and to provide him with general
audience reaction to his work.
"And Come to Yesterday," ac
cording to Martz, will attempt to
show "the marital apprehension
of a man and wife towards the
failure of their love" and will try
to reveal "not only the sensitive
revulsion of husband Carl towards
their false security and imminent
disaster but,,alsO Carl's inability
to prevent this disaster."
Charles Gauntt has the role of
Carl, and Doris Leventhal will
portray his wife, Jenny. Ronald
Johnson -will appear as George.
John Paakanen is student direc
tor, of the permanent Five O'clock
Theater company, which will pre
sent a play every Tuesday during
the semester.
This company is composed of
five students, generally freshmen
and sophomores, who have never
appeared in regular Players' pro
ductions, but who showed promise
during tryouts. The fact that the
actors themselves are relatively
inexperienced keeps the produc
tion on an all-round experimental
level. Five O'clock Theater 'is
somewhat of a training and test
ing ground for potential actors
and stage crew members who
want to climb up the ladder from
the bottom.
The script-in-hand
° technique is
employed to make the acting con
gruent with the rest of the pro
duction. Although after six to
eight hours in rehearsal the actors
become very familiar with their
lines, they do not memorize them.
This allows more time for work
on movement and characteriza
tion, and the script in the actor's
hand is a reminder to the audi
ence that the performance is not
a finished product.
The - technical aspects of pro
duction also follow the theme of
incompleteness. As a background
record of a busy street serves the
same purpose as an elaborate
backdrop, sound is often substi.
