Theatre students undertake firsthand study of retarded The American Fork Training School was recently visited by a small group of theatre students from Weber State College and is just one in a number of field trips to various institutions these students and faculty instructor, Dr. T. Leonard Rowley, are taking. The reason that prompted these visits was to give the students involved character background for the next production to be presented by Weber State Theatre; a production entitled "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." The play, written by Paul Zin-del, is a comical and yet serious play principally involving four "socially maladjusted" people (two girls, one middle-aged woman and one very old woman). Dr. Rowley, director, said that the play involves "the struggle of a young girl to succeed in spite of social and emotional problems." Dr. Rowley suggested tnat along with the valuable learning experience for the play, the trips are also giving the students the opportunity to give something of themselves. The trip to American Fork, said Rowley, shattered some of the preconceived ideas the students had had of the mentally retarded. When asked why he decided to choose to do the play"Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." Rowley replied, "It's a fine play for a college audience to see and offers an excellent challenge for a group of college players toperform." aswsc ra 7 m Nov. 10 Tickets: Union Members of the cast are Leslie Haws, Diane Perelson, Cindy Slover, Sylvia Hill and Rhonda 1 c Q, PIZZA 440 E. 4400 S. in concert cffiaryof 4 n n .
