Mother's Day weekend visitors
to the campus will have an op
portunity to see one of two Play
ers' productions.
"The Merchant of Venice" will
be presented at 8 tonight ° in
Schwab Auditorium and "To
night at 8:30" will be presented
at 8 tonight at Center Stage.
"The Merchant of Venice" is
the first Shakespearean play done
here in a number of years.
The set shows the acting area
of an Elizabethan stage in con
temporary form, with two levels
and inner and outer stages on
each level.
Costittnes are designed in Ital
ian Renaissance style.
"Tonight at 8:30" is a trilogy by
Noel Coward, consisting of three
I=act plays. The plays, although
unrelated, were written to appear
on the same program.
The trilogy consists of two com
edies, "H ands Across the Sea,"
"Red Peppers" and "Still Life,", a
more serious play.
Coward originally wrote nine
plays under the title "Tonight at
8:30," which were intended to be
done in repertory.
Although some of the cast have
roles in two or three of the plays,
the leads are all taken by different
persons. The play is done in• arena
style.
