Players Twin Bill
Scores Ist Night Hit
With Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Aria da Capo,” and “A Phoenix
TooFrequent,’’Players have ventured out on a theatrical limb and
come up with-not one but two first night successes.
The double bill which opened a five-weekend run last night
at Center Stage boasts- a finely hewn production and the smooth
direction of Kelly Yea ton, assistant professor of dramatics. Intel
lectual members of last night’s
audience found the bill a pleas
ing blend of classical theater. Less
arty spectators emerged from the
in a daze, still try
ing- to'fathom the depths of the
two obscure authors with their
intricately-woven tropes and met
aphors.
