the current season, will begin

Play Has 15 Parts
Director Whittaker has revealed
the production has parts for 12
men and three women. Any stu
dent woth sophomore standing and
one year at the university is eligi
ble The play will be presented
on Nov. 17, 18, 19, and 20.
"Beyond the Horizon" is de
scribed as an intensely realistic
modern tragedy with poetic beau-
ty. A Pulitzer prize play of 1920,
it portrays a grim story of New
England.
'The play tells the story of two
brothers, diametrically opposite
in character. The first, Robert, is
poetic, restless, curious about
what lies "beyond the horizon";
Andrew, the other brother, is
matter-of-fact, practical, unimag
inative, and perfectly content with
his lot as a farmer.
Fate Intervenes
In usual O'Neill fashion, fate
intervenes. As Robert is about to
realize his lifelong ambition to
travel on a sailing vessel, he dis
covers and reveals his romantic
love for his brothers' sweetheart,
Ruth.
The inevitable outcome is one of
frustration and tragedy for the
three principals involved, pro
viding a stirring climax.
