Show "Spoon River Anthology" scheduled for Jan. 13-17 Pools of light, stairs and risers of various heights set against a starlit evening sky is the setting for Southern Utah State College's "Spoon River Anthology" scheduled for January 13-17. Curtain time each evening is at 8:15 p.m. in the SUSC auditorium. "The simplicity of the set has been developed to enhance each of the 77 personalities portrayed in Edgar Lee Master's work," Fred C. Adams, associate "Each of the stories, along with beautiful musical interludes, in-terludes, slowly link together to form, as a result, a beautiful intertwining of the people and their lives," Adams explained. "We're using a space setting, one without definite shape or form, in order that the emotions, the images and the interpreted word of each character is extended ex-tended to its fullest," he said. The set was designed for the SUSC Campus-Community Theatre by Stephen Rohl, a senior drama major from Las Vegas. Costumes for the American theater production have been designed by departmental depart-mental costumer, M. L. Baker. Play reservations may be made by calling 586-4411, est. 234 or 236, weekdays between 3 and 5 p.m. professor of drama and play director, said. The "Spoon River" story unfolds as a cemetery empties its graves, letting each ghost revisit the community to tell his or her own story. Adams noted that the play being presented is an adaptation of Masters' original book. |
