Players plan for
3 productions
The Newberry Community
Players held a call meeting
Tuesday evening at the Library
to formulate plans for their
third season. Plays planned for
this season are: Neil Simon’s
The Odd Couple (now in re
hearsal) slated for November
9, 10, 11; Period of Adjustment,
Tennessee William’s only come
dy due for a February showing;
and Sabrina Fair, scheduled for
April.
“We are somewhat concerned
because so few people actually
participate in the plays and
attend our meetings,” said
Chairman Steve McCutcheon.
“We feel there is abundant en
thusiasm and interest. Those
people who vocally support our
group seem unwilling to par
ticipate actively. Yet, there is
good audience response for
which we are grateful. I wish
we knew how to get more peo
ple involved.”
Anyone interested in acting
lighting, set construction, usher
ing, etc.) please contact Mrs.
Ann Smith—276-3348, or Verna
