WITH THE PLAYERS

~ a Aine Fowler, director of Washington
NH$SSAD Civic heater productions, entertained our
~ group at our regular meeting, on the night
" OF July rs with very interesting dis
course on play direction, well as with
"reminiscences of Of her past exper-
iences and difficulties in connection with theater
work. Mss Fowler made direct hit with the Play
ers and we could have listened to her for hours.
One natter which she discussed struck familiar
note With the players, doubt it does with all
theater groups-that Of the just-before-opening
"s1wp". We've all felt that dead period thin the
continuity Of rehearsals. It that we must In
variab1y feel about the whole show Just at
the time when it does the least good-when reAear-
goes, just before opening night, going about
tearing her hair and wishing all the effects Of
"Roon Service" were disposed of in the Potomac.
Just before "Both your Houses", director Sherrod
East agreed that nobody knew anything and nobody
gave continental about playing the show-yet it
went over pretty we'll and enjoyed doing story.
It has to be expected, apparently, that after
hearsing lines for weeks patiently going through
stage business night after night, the characters
Lose all interest in their parts and the directors
In their characters. When the show is on and the
Ledge that the story went across wel1-sll finally
bring home that roseate feeling of job we'll done
IT. worth all the efforts and more.
AS was reported previously, our next Greenbelt
production Will be sophisticated comedy. The play
itself has not been chosen yet as Joe Maynard and
his fellow p1ay-readers are having quite time
picking out , good plays for the group to select
from. The dates Of the first play, however, are
tentatively September 1o and 20. Following the
September comedy Will be mystery or me1odrama type
show about October 3lNovember I, and December
20 the Players Will present play especially appro-
pirate to the Chri stmas spirit.
The Town Fair is to be September 7-e and O. and
on at Least one of those dates the Players will pre-
sent in the school auditorium the old French story
"P1erre Pateldn". Ford Lyman, who has already work.
ed with this amusing play before, will be the d.
rector. Pierre Patelin first produced in the
18th century-the author is unknown. It is cos
tune play, and the Greenbelt Players themselves
construct the costumes to be used at the Fair pre-
sentation. It all promises be most interesting.
