Description
DIRECTS SUMMER THEATRE
PEGGY SULLIVAN, ROSSVILLE, is the director of the newly-formed Summer Theatre group which will open this Thursday in St. Marys. The Summer Theatre is a first for St. Marys and is sponsored by the Recreation Commission.
Earlier this spring, the Recreation Commission invited Dr. and Mrs. Harold Mandl to a meeting of interested persons for the purpose of starting a Summer Theatre group. From this meeting Peggy Sullivan was chosen director and the selection of the cast was begun.
Peggy is a Theater major at Emporia State Teachers College. She lives in Rossville and is working there this summer. Almost any evening the past few weeks, Peggy could be found rehearsing
with her cast in the IC gym. It was here that the play, “You Can't Take It With You” took shape. Peggy says the most important aspect is the mood that the actors reflect. “Let one person destroy the mood and it may take many lines to reestablish that mood”, she says. The mood Peggy is talking about is the gay 1920’s, the time setting of the play. Peggy also believes it takes great acting to make everyone in the audience forget their problems of the day and relieve them with a world of make-believe.
Ask Peggy what reward the cast, crew, and all concerned with the Theatre group get and her reply is, “Only one thing — audience appreciation”. (Turn to Page 5 for pictures of cast and crew.)
