Show PAGE 12 THE THUNDERB1RD TUESDAY OCTOBER 21. 1986 Special project yields creativity BY DANNY STEWART They can also suggest whether or not their character would behave a certain way under certain circumstances. . Five thea're arts majors are gaining valuable experience in a playwritingacting workshop this quarter. This special projects course was developed for Doug Christensen, so that he could work together with actors in writing a play. Faculty Adviser Scott Phillips explained the benefits of this project. "To be a playwright," he said, "you need to hear your words vocalized by an actor, not just in your head." Christensen designed this workshop so that he could get feedback from the actors while he is writing a play. The actors become familiar enough with their characters that they can improvise well in different situations. Participating with Christensen in the workshop are four actors who auditioned for parts. They are Patrick Sterling, Michael Bahr, Janeane Gallo and Lisa Berger. While writing the play, the story undergoes many changes. In fact, the entire plot could change before the play is finished. In this play, the theme will remain unchanged. Christensen said, "The theme of this play is the foundation of the workshop." In his own words, the theme is: "For certain people, love does not exist; but this is only true for people who do not believe in love." Faculty to stage recital Does classical music, soft light, and a pleasant atmosphere sound pretty good? Then an evening spent in the Thorley Recital Hall is just the ticket. An SUSC faculty recital will be held Oct. 27 in the Hall.
