Uni Theatre Workers Beaver
Over Scenery, Saws, Singing
BY BETTY KING.
Now it can be told! There's
more to a play than just the act
ing. A rumor has been going
around to that efefct for several
weeks, but now it's confirmed.
Even on week end nights the
University theater workshop is a
beehive of activity. The con
struction crew under the direction
of Carl Ziegler work busily on
the sets of the forthcoming pro
duction "The Skin of Our Teeth."
The crew works hard, but to the
uninitiated it looks like it might
be fun.
Walking Into the workshop is
like walking into another world.
The first thing that greets the
ears is the sound of a buzz-saw
accompanied by a psuedo-oper-atic
baritone and a feminine
voice singing "I'll Walk Alone."
Off in a corner some nice har
mony sawing another board.
Any kind of outfit goes at these
workshop sessions plaid shirts,
paint-besplattered coveralls, jeans,
knee- length shirts worn over
well, jeans.
Crews walk around swinging
paint buckets as tho they were
going to pick daisies. Nonchalant
is the word for these kids. But
when it comes to having a ten
foot piece of lumber swung non
chalantly over your head that's
carrying things a bit too far. A
coed can even be nonchalant
about pounding tacks into scen
ery. It's possible the if hammer
were made to hold the nail and
pound too? Saves wear and tear
on thumbs.
Then over in a far corner Oops
that's censored. Scenery for this
play is a big secret Judging from
all the -work going into its con
struction, it should be plenty good.
