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-

WEEKEND SERVICES

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.
