To "'Direct 'Rainbow'
Perhaps "How Are Things in Moeda Morra?," the popu
lar song from Thespians' "Finian's Rainbow," would have
been entitled. "Ho* Are Things in Philadelphia?" had the

education major, from the north
part of the city. For experience

aches resulting from being the
show's director and 'also playing
the role of Finish. Fryman is the
first undergraduate to-be assigned
as a show director (the Others
have been graduate studerits).
Biggest Problem
"My biggest probleM li, hii
course, keeping the one job clear
of the other. As the director. I
have to watch everyone on the
stage, but as "Finian" I'also have
to stay in character and keepmy
riiind oh the ;part.' Sometimes it's
very, confusing,* he added,
'The hardest thing in the!'
show," Fryinan said, "is coordina
tion getting everything: in se
quence. We rehearse the dialogue
people separately, and then have
to integrate them with the chor
us."
Debut thesp
Fryirian made his Thespians'
debut as a Jail bird in "Lee -Face
It" and saw the other side of life
as the sheriff in 'Blowier. Gill,"
his second show. He elso• iviote
and directed pain; of "Funny Side

pians—l do it as a hobby And for
enjoyment" he said.
Michael Rosenfelll, sixth semes
ter music mayor, is staging the
musical numbers for the show, as
well as directing • the - chorus.
"Musical theater has more vitality
than any other form Of 'theater,"
he
said, and added,"We hope to
prove this in l'inian't Rsinbow."
"Tharidana COMO" Fire
"With me, Thespians comes
first," Rosenfeld said. "It is one
of the main tea:ions I came to the
University. The thinks -I like best
are writing and directing but I'm
definiteWynot an. Actor."
Rosenfeld's wart in "Irirlian's
Rainbow" inclUdes directing the
singing chorus, 'staging the musi=
cal nUiribers, and direCting the
orchestra. He also did most of the
orchestrations for the show.
"Pd like to go into the musical
theater after I gradtrate," he said,
"but I'll probably go to law
school.
"One thing which surprises me
is the lack of interest shown in
Thespians by Music students."

So on my job my primary concern is to
maintain constant and rapid production
and at the same time keep our work ac
