ference meets and tournaments re-
! ceived the strongest endorsement

throughout the various categories
of students, coaches and admins

Two Plays At

BY SUSAN McAVOY

BY SUSAN McAVoY
Workshops of theater groups gen.

composed only of their own mem
bers and close friends.
That this is a sound policy was
demonstrated last night when the
Key West Players Summer Work
shop put on ''The Monkeys Paw"
and IF Men Played Cards AS Wo-
men Do"
Neither production could stand
the outside public's critical view

AS one veteran Barn Player said:
'They should keep these produc-
tons to themselves. They are not
ready for the public"

its brevity.
The last Of the two plays of the
evening, it also had the advantage
of Frightening our mood as we
knew that escape from the Barn
was close at hand.
Directed by Gertrude Splain The
playlet was acted by Jim Witherell,
Bob Smith, Edmund GieSbert and
Don Pearson. They manned it UP
so that we were able to laugh at
the femme foibles they parodied.
Laughter was a relief after the
laborious, slow-paced production O.
1.-THE Monkeys Paw" based on the
great short story of that name. In
its original this is a taut, heart
breaking drama of the danger Of
having ones wishes come true.
AS performed and directed last
night its only merit was that il
came to an end, if haltingly.
Director Edmund Ge4hsrt an6
