Hayloft Summer Theater
Presents 'Double Doors'
by Bea Beutel
To the accompaniment of two
squeaking guinea hens in an over
hanging tree, Hayloft Summer
Theatre has ODened its doors for
a second summer. Each Tuesday
through Sunday evening Vhen
the lights flash off and on, and
the background music softens, the
birds miraculously cease their
babble, perhaps in order to hear
the magic words of the ten ac
tors who bring the Plavs to life.
The Hayloft is the Middle West's
first summer theatre. Its idea was
formed by Rich Miller and David
Andrews, two former University
students, who brought the thea
tre here to promote new fields
for professional talent.
The Broadway stage plays are
held in a barn located at a resi
dence at 59th and South streets.
Although set in rustic surround
ings, the chandlier being an old
wagon wheel, and the inside of
the barn in its practically orig
inal state, the newly added bal
cony and raised stage with stand
ard lighting equipment provide
the perfect finish.
An old horse show arena di
rectly at the side of the theatre
has been graveled and changed
into a large parking lot.
This summer "two plays have
been presented. This week's play
is a melodrama in three acts,
"Double Door," by Elizabeth Mac
Fadden. The action takes place in
the sitting room of a wealthy New
York family.
The entire story deals with the
attempts of the younger brother
and sister to do the will of the
older sister and head of the fam
ily, who controls their fortune,
and the horror that the new wife
of the brother faces in living in
the mansion. The realistic setting
is done by John Darle'y, one of
the actors.
The cast of "Double Door" is
composed of twelve actors, three
who are Lincoln talent secured
from the University and a local
radio station.
The summer group is directed
by Irene Marmein, who began as
a dancer, has made many sym
phony orchestra concert tours, has
been in Keith Orpheum vaude
ville, and worked in seven sea
sons of summer stock with Charles
Colburn. She has participated In
the New York Mowhall Drama
Festival and spent time in both
winter and summer stock.
