First Student Drama Will Appear at Loeb

The Pagent of Awkward Shadows, by Thomas J. Babe, Jr., '63, the first play by a Harvard undergraduate to be presented at the Loeb, will open there Feb. 28.

Babe's play, a reworking of Chaucer's clerk's tale, won the first Phyllis Anderson Award for original undergraduate drama this year.

The Loeb will present six plays, this Spring, in its busiest season ever. Sean O'casey's Juno and the Paycock will run March 21-23 and 27-30. The Cursed Dauncers, (April 10-13) is an original opera written especially for production at the Loeb. Two plays in German will be presented by the Student Theater of Kiel, Germany (April 19-20). The Braggart Warrior is a Latin comedy in a new translation (April 24-27); and Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I (May 9-11 and May 15-18) will follow Babe's play to the Loeb stage.

In addition, the Drama Club has scheduled productions in the Loeb Experimental Theatre for almost every weekend between February 7 and May 18.
