Monday afternoon, October 24, a t
2:30 p . m . in Page Hall auditorium
and " T h e T a m i n g of t h e Shrew" at
8:30 p.m., u n d e r the auspices of
Dramatics and Arts Council. T h e
play is being presented in modern
dress, not as a publicity s t u n t or in
an effort to improve on S h a k e s peare, but only to try to interpret
Shakespeare's thinking in terms
more familiar to us,
The idea of a Shakespearean
Road Company developed because
of Miss Webster's desire to bring
"live" theater to t h e small communities from coast-to-coast. Early in
1947, she wrote to 500 colleges asking if they would be interested in
the Shakespearean type of drama,
and what plays they would like to

Miss Webster negotiated with Sol
Hurok, who agreed to back t h e tour.
In September, 1948, this unusual
cavalcade embarked on a successful career. T h i s year's trip will i n clude some 30C performances in 34
states.
T h e bare facts make it seem t h a t
the cast is basking in the lap of
luxury, but there certainly were
plenty of snags in last year's tour.
For instance, at one college t h e
company had to play " M a c b e t h " in
a converted B-29 hangar, without
stage,
proscenium,
or
dressing
rooms. Even t h e washing facilities
were half way across t h e campus in
the Music building. T h e back a n d
side curtains were composed of
pieces of material, strung, nailed
er Pinned together somehow. At various intervals during the performance, t h e audience caught generous
glimpses of t h e T h a n e s of Scotland
in various stages of undress, with
their costumes laying on the e a r t h en floor because there Just was no
place to hang them. And we complain about our State College stage
and facilities!
Admission to the plays is dirt
cheap. In fact, its absolutely free
to one performance if you have
your S t u d e n t Tux ticket. However,
if you h a p p e n to want to see both
plays, you will have to pay $1.20
and $1.80 in the afternoon, or $1.80
and $2.40 in t h e evening.
Tickets will be on sale outside t h e
Commons starting
Monday. On
Monday and Tuesday only, tickets
lor "Julius Caesar" will be sold. On
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
tickets will be sold for " T h e T a m ing of the Shrew."
