To Give Drama
Next Week
The "Teahouse of the August
Moon" by John Patrick will be
presented by the Harrison Players
during the winter quarter. The
play, adapted from a novel by Vern
Sneider, tells the story of the economic recovery of an Okinawan
village called Tobiki.
Introducing the play will be Anne
Mitchell in the role of Sakini. Anne,
a freshman sociology nwjor from
Greensboro, said, "Playing the role
of Sakini (a man) is both challenging and interesting." She was last
seen as Madge in the play, "Picnic."
With the introduction of Colonel
Purdy, (James Wilder) and Captain Fisby (James Pettiford) the
play begins to move.
Both Wilder and Pettiford are
•veterans of several seasons with
the players. Wilder, a senior English major frojn Wilmington, was
the winner of the Most Promising
Actor Award for the 61 and 62
school year, while Pettiford, a senior history major from Creedmoor,
is the hoider of the Best Actor's
Award for 63-64.
"Teahouse" gains impetus when
Lotus Blossom, "a Geisha girl first
class" is introduced. All types of
complications set in because of
Captain Fisby's misunderstanding
of what a Geisha girl does.
