Show Page 6 Dress Standards Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Girls are you wearing lev! pants, and boys are you barefooted? If so, take a look again, because this is not acceptable dress for performances of the Weber State Theatre. To commemorate the opening performance of all the WSC plays, the wearing attire is listed as formal. Not only is this the night that the play Is first to be presented to the audience, but a reception always follows the opening presentation. Due to its special nature, it is strongly encouraged that all opening nights in both the Little Theatre and the Cellar Theatre be formal. In very few places will anyone find that formal attire constitutes barefooted people. All the other presentations following the opening night are simply listed as dressy dress or acceptable school dress. This means that the boys may wear jackets, sweaters, etc. The boys will make a better appearance if they are wearing a tie. Due to the change in fashion trends, girls should be more observant in what is acceptable dress for an evening performance. These girls should still wear a dress Instead of pants.

"Threepenny Opera" represents the combined efforts of the Department of Music and the Department of Theatre. The musical direction is by Ronald Wooden, and stage director is Ivan C rosland. Making up the principal players of the cast are Brent Johnston; Clark Chamberlain, a transfer student from Dixie College; Hazel Robertson; and Pat Farr. Other actors are Jeannie Nowak, Miss Weber State; Kenn Klein; Larry West; Judy Sorenson Jones; Ray Myers; and David Emmert. The musical arrangement brings well known music to the play. One of the most famous songs "Mack the Knife" originates from this play. The other songs include "The Pirate Jenny," "The Ballad of Dependency," "The World is Mean," "The Ballad of the Easy Life," and "The Jealousy Duet." "Threepenny Opera" satirizes many factors of contemporary life, plus the unbelievable plots of grand opera. MacHeath (Mack the Knife), a highwayman, is the hero of this play. He has fallen in love with Polly, the pure and simple daughter, of J.J. Peachum. J. J. is a prime example of private enterprize. He operates a school and business composed of professional beggars. In this school he teaches the most effective means of bilking the sympathetic doner. Despite his own nefarious business, Peachum refuses to have his innocent daughter remain married to MacHeath. Polly, however, is willing to overlook this and is drawn by his suaveness. Unable to stand this, Peachum squeals to the Commissioner of Police, Tiger Brown, but this turns out bad, because Tiger and MacHeath are old friends from army days. Nevertheless, MacHeath, who cannot resist visiting his old girl friends, is at last sentenced to hang. MacHeath is saved only by a last minute miracle. The play is also presently in the top three plays on Broadway. The setting was designed by Mr. Michael Sharp, who has also designed the lighting and the 1890 period costumes. The set construction is supervised by WSC Theatre Technical Director, David Barber. Mrs. Julia Nebeker spent many weeks turning Mr. Sharp's costume designs into reality. Stage manager is Adelle Barnet, and in charge of properties is Pat Martin. The accompanist is Carol Hurst. is s r DIAMOND RIN G S SONATA FROM 100 w 3f Esrs s Registered Jeweler American Gem Society 2429 Washington Blvd. SOUND -OFF, the direct student voice, died of apathema (severe apathy) Tuesday at 12:32 in the main lobby of the Union Building.
