Dramatic Groups Plan Seven Shows In Spring Term

Another theatrical traffic jam may develop in the Square this spring unless someone quickly decides to play the policeman. Seven shows have already been definitely planned, and more will soon be scheduled.

The Faculty Committee on Theater met Tuesday and approved three undergraduate productions for the Loeb's main stage, plus a Poet's Theater offering. Accepted by the Committee were the Harvard Dramatic Club's two proposals: Ulysses in Nighttown, to be directed by Paul S. Ronder'62, and Synge's Playboy of the Western World, which will be staged by George Hamlin, assistant Director of the Loeb.

The Committee also granted formal assent to the Lowell House Opera Society's rendition of Gay's Beggar's Opera, with David Cole '63 directing.

Two House groups have begun preparing their spring productions: Quincy, which intends to stage Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; and Winthrop, which will kick up a Can-Can. Drumbeats and Song is also in the musical field, with Pajama Game about to go into rehearsal.

Contributing still further to the Renascence of House drama is Dunster's prospective Julius Caesar; director Charles Flowers is trying to find backing for his version of Little Foxes; and a few furtive drama-types are waiting for the smoke to settle so they find a weekend miraculously free in which they can produce....

Charles W. Hayford '63, president of the HDC and frequent visitor of the CRIMSON building, has just wandered in with the information that Kirkland House is considering a production of Dekker's Shoemaker's Holiday.

Still worried about a lack of entertainment, sports fans?
