Laughter was the sound heard coming from the Stevenson
Auditorium in Orangeburg Friday night as USC theatre
major Joel Mason and the Part-time Players presented the
Neil Simon comedy,4'God's Favorite."
Mason, who recently got out of the Navy, skillfully
directed, produced and acted in the play.
After joining his high school drama club, in 1979 he formed
the Part-time Players, consisting of himself and two friends.
They travelled around the Orangeburg area doing mostly
pantomines and talent shows. Their plans and ambitions then
had to be put on hold while Mason served his stint in the
Navy.
wtiiLHi waning to tumil tnose plans, worked with
the small theatre at his Japanese homebase. He also took
some college courses.

uces, Directs Play
Two years after forming the Part-time Players, Mason has
made the dreams of these high school students come true by
producing "God's Favorite." He also made a personal dream
become a reality by directing the play.
"God's Favorite" centers around the character of Joe

sighted messenger, Sydney Lipton, to tell Joe his faith will be
tested, and God and the Devil have a bet riding on it.
Besides Mason, actors in the play were Jon Coats, Jeff
Weaver, Gloria John, Randy Houk, Sandra Lorick, Norma
Crutchfield Swinney and Fred Boatwright.
BECAUSE OF the fact that he is entering USC this fall,
Mason is not sure he will have time to do another play. His
Orangeburg shows, however, were definitely a success.
From the time the curtain opened until the time it closed two
hours later, Mason and company created a magical world.
The packed house left the theatre in high spirits. It was God's
will. Amen.
