Show "Androchles and the Lion" at SUSC Children of all ages are invited to see "Androchles and the Lion", the final campus-community production of the Soutehrn Utah State College Theater season. Directed by Sandra Stiglinski, founding director of SUSC's Peanut Butter Players, the play will be presented May 21-24 in the studeo (heater. " Androchles and the Lion" originated as a Greek Fable, the story of a young slave who risked his freedom to save a lion. It is being presented at SUSC in the style of Japanese Kabuki by a student company formed for-med especially for the spring quarter production. "Since the play is a production for children, it will begin each evening at 7:15 p.m. rather than at the regular curtain time which is an hour later," Stiglinski says. "Seating will be limited for the production, so we urge that reservations are made soon." Tickets are now on sale at the SUSC box office, 586-4411, 586-4411, ext. 234, from 1-5 p.m. weekdays and from 1 p.m. until curtain time on days of performance. The production, Stiglinski says, will run about an hour and 15 minutes. "Theater for children is not silly," she says, "Children require and deserve quality theater, not just fun and games. Our actors take their jobs very seriously; we have fun and we want people in the audience to enjoy themselves, them-selves, but we do not give up quality for cuteness." "The SUSC theater department is always happy to present live theater for young people," R. Scott Phillips, theater promotions coordinator, says. "We feel that ' it is important to capture the imaginations of children when they are young because they are the audiences of the future and an interest in the arts provides them with something not available in reading, writing and arithmetic." arith-metic." All aspects of the production, from acting to technical and business operations, are under the direction of the "Androchles Company". New Landing System for Airport Frank Strobbe, administrator ad-ministrator of the Cedar City Office of the Federal Aviation Administration, told Kiwanis members that FAA's primary role is promoting AIR SAFETY through certification of airports and airways as well as of pilots and airplanes; and by providing all of the various navigational aids in the area. According to Strobbe, an Instrument Landing System for Cedar City Airport is in the planning stages. With that system installed on the longer runways that we now have Cedar City may be able to attract major carriers. The tower at the airport provides pilots in the area with weather information, take-off and landing instructions in-structions and alerts them of other aircraft flying in and over the area. The radar installation on Blowhard Mountain, east of Cedar City, maintains a constant servalience of a 400 mile block of airspace around Cedar City. Just as take-offs are automatic now, we will see automatic landings of commercial craft in the not too distant future. Pilots have been complaining com-plaining that the very bright STROB lights at the approach ap-proach end of the runway flashing in their eyes are a hazzard, rather than an aid, at the point just before touchdown, because they make it difficult for the instruments to be read. It is hoped that Cedar City will be given approval for a planned system to dim or turn out the STROB lights at that critical time. |
