DRAMA SCHOOL TO REMODEL MUSEUM

The Cambridge School of the Drama has announced that funds for the remodeling of the old Germanic Museum for production purposes have been subscribed by several alumni and friends of the school. The alterations on the building are now under way and the theatre will be ready for use in three weeks.

New Building

After alterations on the building are completed all classes in the school except lecture classes will be held in the theatre building. The program calls for complete equipment for the study of scene design and construction and stage lighting. The theatre will serve as an experimental production center for plays written in the classes in playwriting. At least three plays will be produced during the year: The first production will take place before the end of the first term.

At the same time it was announced that a course will be given during the second half-year by Walter Pritchard Eaton '00 on the American theatre. A. L. Lovejoy, director of the School, will conduct a second half-year course in playwriting and play production, and Arthur Seigle, assistant director, will give one on stage technique. Both Harvard and Radcliffe students may enroll in these courses.
