THURSO AY. MARCH 22. 1956 South Pacif ic' Will Open Tonight Thespians to Stage Hit Musical Drama “South Pacific,” Thespians’ semi-annual musical drama, will open at 7:30 tonight in Schwab Auditorium. The show will also be presented at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Saturday. Ticket sales were reported moving well, with a few tickets remaining for each night, according to reports from the Het- zel Union desk. Sales have been somewhat slower for the matinee. ‘•South Pacific” is the largest undertaking and the biggest pro duction Thespians has presented, according to Louis Fryman, di rector of the show. Close to 200 people ai - e involved in the production of the musical, Fryman said. This includes cast., technical workers, crew, and di rectors. Show 'Technically Involved' As well as being one of the most complicated, the show is the most technically involved that Thes pians has undertaken, Fryman said. The scenery in some places is the most extravegant it has ever used. This, along with the in volved technical work, will bring the show to a cost of $3OOO, the greatest amount ever spent on a Thespian production. “South Pacific,"'tine of the all time top Broadway shows and winner of several awards, is not, Fryman said, a typical musical comedy. It is more a drama with comic relief. Characters Tiive* The characters, Fryman ex plained, are not fantastic or un realistic, but are real and live. For instance, he said, the humor and activity of the servicemen in the South Pacific Ocean is quite real and understanding. Fryman said that Thespians has taken the original script of “South Pacific” and built its own interpretation from that, trying not to be influenced by other pro ductions of the show. Michael McKay, leading male in the show as Emile Deßeque, worked previously with the St. Louis Light Opera Co. Carolyn O'Donnell, leading lady as Nellie, has done radio and television work in Pittsburgh. Also out of the ordinary is us ing children from town, which Thespians has done for this show. Donna Krumrine, 8, and Stanley Parkin, 12, will sing “Dit a Moi.” By SUE CONKLIN Employment . . .
