Add Shakespeare
get Ho well9
by Dave Landis
Entertainment Editor
A classic English fairy tale,
"The Rose and the Ring,"
makes its American debut on
Howell Theater's stage this
December.
William Makepiece
Thackeray, the author, com
bined themes from
Shakespeare and the Brothers
Grimm to produce a fantastical
holiday spirit.
"It's all entertainment,"
director Andy Backer said.
"Sometimes its the Marx
Brothers up there, sometimes a
Flash Gordon comic book.-
A unique feature of this
adaptation by John Dalby is the
music and dancing.
"The cast is truly multi
talented," remarked a Howell
veteran. "We even have a pro
fessional football player
performing ballet."
The play concerns a usurper
king, his son who dresses in
basic black, and a beautiful
princess. Now where have we
seen that before?
Several speeches closely
parody soliloquies from Henry
IV and, of course, Hamlet.
No period escapes attention.
One number is a parodv of a
complete Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta. Another features a
queen, princess and countess
doing the boogie.
"Coming to the Rescue" sees
some of the cast doing the frug
and the pony. Chamber music
begins the next scene and so it
goes.
Responsible for this musical
highjinx is music director Mary
Potter.
Backer is hesitant to label
this show "children's theater."
"Really, it Is family theater,"
he said, "an experience for the
child and the adult, something
they can communicate about."
Backer said that good
children's theater is really
family entertainment. Bad
children's theater, he said, has
neither the strength nor appeal
to support adult viewing.
The show's sophistication
makes the play attractive to
adults. The color and spectacle
should enchant the children.
Pace in the show varies ac
cording to the style which Is
mimicked. Most of the show is
fast, farcical, camp and comic
book. Demands on the actor are
well nigh impossible. He must
make a fantasy character ap
pear believable in the context
of the play.
He must look like there is no
physical danger in doing five
back flips if thats what his part
calls for. His only resource is
sincerity.
The director's responsibility

is to make this show as colorful
and magical as possible. The
most challenging duty for the
show's director is to make a
coherent, cohesive style out of
the melange, dramatic genre
that is parodied.
The technical aspects of this
production are staggering. Ten
sets, eighty costumes and a
myriad of props make for a
hectic night for the stage
manager.
The cast includes six
children and actors from the

The curtain will go up this
weekend on "Hello Dolly," to

and the Inter-Dormitory

Show director Dean Tschetter
said Thursday that "Hello
Dolly" will "give local au
diences a chance to see what
can be accomplished by college
amateurs and to see exactly
what kind of talent we have
here."
"Tschetter said the show's
strong principle cast is one of
the best attractions of the
show. Cathy Roth, as Dolly;
Wayne Moles, as Van
dergelder; Mike Wiese, as
Cornelius; Richard Kaiser, as
Barnaby; and Connie McCord,
as the hat show owner make up
the main cast.
"Hello Do ly" is also what
Tschetter calls the "most am

Zefferelli film

Franco Zefferelli believes
Shakespeare is not a iru y
source of plots for modern
adaptations.
Rather, he states that
Shakespeare's inherent power,
humor and tenderness can be
captured in the twentieth cen
tury media of the motion pic
ture. "The Taming of the Shrew,"
his first Shakespearean suc
cess, plays the Union Weekend
Film Series this weekend. Zef
ferelli also directed "Romeo
and Juliet."
Showings are 7:00 and 9:00
Friday and Saturday in the city
campus union, and 7:30 Sunday
in the East Campus Union.

Andy Backer
The director of this show is
no newcomer to Lincoln theater
patrons. Andy Backer has won
awards at the University and
the community Playhouse as
well as in state-wide play
writing competition.
"Alice in Wonderland" and
the "Wizard of Oz" are recent
Backer children's theater pro
ductions. Former exposure at Howell
sponsored by AS.R.A. and
I.D.A. The production is
technically more elaborate
than previous shows, he said.
Tschetter, who designed all
the sets himself, said at least
nine comp ete scene changes
are required for "Hello Dollv",
which occurs in turn-of-the-century
New York.
Technical director, Melanie
Schwartz, said the elaborate
construction is also "more
portable and easy to handle"
than ever before. Much of the
construction is set on casters,
she said, and flying the
backdrops on wires makes
scene changes faster.
A technical crew of about 40
has been working since mid
October on the sets, first in the
S m ith-Schramm basement,
then at the coliseum, Miss
Schwartz said.
"Hello Dolly" has been a
challenge for the prop crew,
she said, because of the period
pieces needed for the musical.
There have been interesting
odds and ends, too, like
making papier-mache food for
restaurant scene, and rounding
up a gorilla suit and a f.oat for
a parade.
The most spectacular prop in
the show is a 30-foot train,
designed by Tschetter and
