Theatre schedules play, auditions BY GARY ZIEGLER After a praiseworthy 1988 season, SUSCs theatre department and the Masque Club are set and ready to continue in their tradition of excellence through the annual Masque Club Melodrama as well as two other winter quarter productions. The Masque Club will open SUSCs 1989 theatrical calendar with a rousing double bill of oleo acts and the classic melodrama Labors of Love. Production dates are Jan. 11 through 14, in Auditorium 108, with action beginning promptly at 8 p.m. Producers of the offerings wish to cling to the melodramatic style and Labors of Love is no exception. The play reels in excitement through a cast of villains, heroes and heroines in showing the traditional confrontation and a heartwarming love story. Joe Martinez, director of the melodrama and a graduate of the College of Eastern Utah, directed Labors of Love for the Price Childrens Summer Theatre Workshop. He encourages audiences to show their approval and disapproval of the stage action. Music Hall Magic is the theme for the oleo acts, which will precede the play. Songs popular between 1890 and 1910 have been selected to garnish the production. Some (songs) are silly, some are sappy and some are very pretty, said Oleo good-guybad-g- turn-of-the-centu- ry Director Tracy Burns, a senior theatre student. The unique side of the melodrama and oleo acts is the fact that it is directed, acted, and mounted entirely by students. The Masque Club uses this annual event as a fund-raise- r for theatre club scholarships. Nearly all of the 85 theatre majors and minors will participate in the production. Besides those performing on stage, students will be involved in set and costume design as well as musical, stage and prop management.
