Community Theatre Review r Barefoot' Scores Several 'Firsts The Laurens County Com munity Theatre accomplish ed several “firsts” this past Friday and Saturday when they presented the delightful popiedy. “Barefoot In The Park,” at Belk Auditorium on the Presbyterian College campus. The decision to move the p^ay to Belk was a wise Dne. Tbpre the company had enough room on stage and more modern facilities to en able the mechanical side of the play to move smoothly. The play centered on a young*' married couple (six days) who were taking occu pancy of their first home, an apartment on the top floor of a brownstone on East 48th street in New York. This flights of steep stairs (six counting the front stoop). The play moved at a fast oace with a terrific dialogue throughout. The small, over age apartment with a bed room just large enough for a single bed, the bath (too small for a tub), the radia tor trat didn’t work, and the skylight that let in snow pro vided the proper setting for a play in which the acting was the important thing. Frank Sherrill as the new ly-wed husband carried most of the play. He looked youth ful enough to be the young lawyer and his acting experi ence is beginning to tell as he approached moments of brillance in “Barefoot,” es- Opens Today for an Extended Run 2 SHOWS A DAY ALL THIS WEEK INCLUDING SATURDAY IK Mi M KI!

WEEKEND SERVICES Weekend services will be gin at the First Pentecostal Joann Smith played the ex ited bride busily furnishing icr first home. She was at tractive and believable — as usual. Her best acting was n the drunk scene opposite Bill Peters who played Vic tor Velasco—the overage Con tinental charmer who lived in tlte attic abpye th6m. Harriett Wassi^g made her irst dramatic appearance as the mother of the bride. Har riet gave the impression that die was not acting at all. She was more of a real-live-flighty mother-in-law who happened to wander on the stage and got caught up in this whirl wind situation. Her undoing was their all going out “on the town” to a Hungarian restau rant and all getting “potted” i on UZO—sort of a Greek rot- gut-vodka combination. Lau- lens County can stand a few more comedies with Mrs. Wassung in leading roles. Bob Hanson not only did a fine job of directing the play but stole one scene as the telephone ‘repairman caught, in the middle of the newly wed’s first big fight. Bob Mr. and Mrs. Arthur San-1 Wassung had a bit part as a delivery man but his real contribution was helping with the lighting and sound effects which just made the play. The Belk stage wa* a great place to present the play but an audience of ten times the size of the existing one was needed to do justice to the production. The audience (about Friday and 250 Saturday) was seated front tind center which was some help. The helpers behind the scenes Nancy Sherrill, Jan Savelkoul Charles Rurak, Jim Blore and Mirron Willis rounded out a competent and efficient company. Ap extraordinary comedv as “Barefoot In The Park” demands deft comic timing —and this was somewhat lacking—maybe due to the jreat distance between the players and the audience. Some of the best lines were spoken to the scenery and the audience couldn’t really let down and laugh at places for fear of missing an even bet ter comeback. A real little theatre with adequate equip ment, large stage and enough seats (but not too many) could do wonders for our local players. Gerald Foster of the U. S.
