I THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Nov. 12, 1970—1-C Holcombe To Perform With Furman Choir DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION—Employees of M. S. Railey and Son. Bankers, are shown in their Tricentennial costumes which they will wear this week as Laurens County eclebrates its ‘Tricentennial Week.’ — (Photo by Dan Yarbor- ousrh) PC Players Present 'Midsummer Night’s Dream "A Midsummer Night’s Dream,' Shakespeare’s fro licsome demonstration of the truth of his line, “The course of true love never did run smooth,' will have the first of its four scheduled per formances at the Black Magic Theatre on November 18. The play will run through until Nov. 21. In this comedy with the fresh ness of Shakespeare’s youth skining through its moonlit forests, Nancy McKenzie, Ann Fogarty, Marc Coker andChar- les Inglett (Helena, Hermia, Lysander, Demetrices) will portray the agreeably foolish young lovers whose course is turned extremely unsmooth by the elfin Puck’s mistaken ap plication of a magic flower - juice--a potion that makes a person fall passionately in love with the first living creature he lays eyes on. At the command of Rodney Clark, as Obeson, king of the fairies, Judy Howie as Puck will play the additional trick with this exclir of making Marcia Whitman as Titania, Queen of the Paries who in habit the enchanted forest, fall headlong in love with the lum pish weaver named Bottom, who has fallen under still another spell and is equipped with the long-eared head >f an ass. Dexte*- Ross has the role of Bottom and George Amaya, Walter Davis, Hugh Griffin, Chris Brown, and Gerald Smith will be his fellow-clowns who are absurdly involved in re hearsing a preposterous play about Pyramus and Thisbe. The tree-girt idyl, brimm ing with some of Shakespeare’s most evocatively lyrical lines and his sweetest moods of pastoral loveliness, is being directed by Dale 0. Rains with especial attention to its slap stick comedy and whimsically joyous fantasy. Settings and costumes are provided to match the play’s haunting strangeness as of, well, as of a dream. ries only the names of students whose academic standing, ser vice to the community, leader ship in extracurricular ac tivities and future potential are decidedly above average. Miss Hollis is one of 15 seniors at Converse College named for this honor. The Furman University Con cert Choir will perform at the National Convention of the American Choral Directors As sociation in Kansas City, Mo., on March 5. Brent Holcombe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Holcombe of Clinton, is a member of the 38-voice choir. The Furman University Con cert Choir, directed by Dr. Milburn Price, is one of six collegiate mixed choral groups selected by the national con vention committee after hearing audition tapes submitted by 39 schools from throughout the country. Furman’s audition tape was comprised of 15 minutes of ex- cerps from the last spring concert, which was held in Mc Alister Auditorium. “All in all, it was the best concert they have given in the three years I’ve been direct ing them,’ Dr. Price said of that performance. In Kansas City the choir will sing for an experimental wor ship service, which is to be a feature of the convention. The choral music in the service and the music literature sung will illustrate a variety of music styles being used in the churches today in both tradi tional and experimental forms. Among these will be the speak ing chorus, use of electronic tape, and music which reflects the influences of pop and jazz sounds. Enroute to the convention the Furman ConcertChoir will per form in Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri. Worst thing that can hap pen to a pessimist is to be proved wrong. REV.
