Sociological problems prevalent in society today will be projected in two one-act plays to be presented by the drama department in early December.
The Teacup Tree, which concerns one woman’s conception of beauty, will be presented Dec. 10 to an adult audience at the First Baptist Church in Texarkana. Don Shreve, sophomore, is directing the production.
The cast includes Linda Price as a woman enthralled by trees decorated with teacups; Sherry Ryan as the town gossip; Mike Wands as a college student; Sherry Dorsey and Terry Fry as “involved” high school students; and Don Shreve as a Life magazine photographer.
The second play, A Thing of Beauty, presents the various reactions of several individuals looking at a piece of driftwood. The absurdist play is in the early stages of casting, and a date has not been set for its first presentation. Alvin Morgan, sophomore, is student director.
According to Mrs. Nancy Keyton of the drama department, both productions will be presented in theater-in-the-round with the audience seated on stage a few feet from the actors.
