HoIton-Arms Senior
Aspnes to Stage
By Ruth Deon

At the age most girls are
getting stage struck for the
first time, Miss Amy Vaughn
Bunting is q veteran Of the
boards" at II.
A member Of Washington's
newest community theater
group, The Genesians, Miss
Bunting has not yet made her
professional debut. But she
has been dancing since she was
nine, acting in amateur the
atricals since she was thirteen.
and intends to make the stage
her career eventually.
School Comes First
In the meantime books and
classes at Holton-Arms School
where she is a senior this year,
come first for the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred H. Bunting
of Georgetown. Mr.. Bunting

At Holton-Arms, Amy is

this year.
It was by chance and the
persuasion of a friend that
Amy joined the Genesians
when they were organized last
fall. The group takes its name
from st. Genesius. patron
saint of actors, she explained.
Amy had just returned from

a summer with the Bull Run
Summer Theater in Middle
burg. TT was my first real
summer stock experience" she
said, her eyes shining as she
recalled getting her big
chance" Toward the end of
the season she was given the
Esmeralda role in "Skin of
Our Teeth" "and she has prac-
tically the whole second act"
Amy added proudly.
When she returned to Wash
ington. she learned about the
Genesians. With some mis-
givings about whether she
would make it." Amy took a.
friends advice and went to
the tryouts.
Nervous at Tryouts
In spite of her nervousness,
she won out and was one of
those chosen by director Arthur
CarneS for the ingenue role of
Mabel Ci1iltern in the groups
current production of 1.-THE
Ideal Husband" a modern
theater-in-the-round adapta-
ton Of the Oscar Wilde play.
Amy likes playing on a CEN
trail stage now but found ii
awkward at first. It is also her
first ingenue part, character
roles having been her forte up
to now
She says the intim a t e
atmosphere of playing to. an
audience that surrounds her
reminds her of the days when
sho and a group of her friends
organized a small neighbor-
hood theater in her own base
ment.
Had Own Theoter
They called it the Mole Run
Little Theater, after the nick
name her family coined for
their Georgetown home "be-
cause it's long and dark and
winds around like a mole hill"
She was then a ninth grader
at Gordon Junior High School.
They rehearSed and enacted
scenes from such well-known
plays as "The Mad Woman
of Chaillot. Mary. Queen of
Scots" '"The Women" and
"Gi-Gi," and in spite of in
adequate lighting, few cos
! tunes and no props, ran for
two, sometimes three, nights
to accommodate audiences in
the 20-seat capacity of the
small basement room.
From Doncing to Acting
Strangely enough, it was an
interest in dancing that un-
veiled Amy's thespian lean
ings. It was while her father

was carrying out a State
Department assignment in

her first ballet lesson. She
had been physically weak as
a child and her back needed

thought dancing would pro-

ercise. That was when she was
nine years old.
