New theater dimensions
provided by 'Viet Rock9
by Dave Landls
Entertainment Editor
Theater at the University of
Nebraska takes on new
dimensions Tvith the Speech
Department's production of
' "Viet Rock" by Megan Ter
ry. First, the play is avant-garde
in conception and production.
Second, all pei formanccs are
outside the Temple Building, in
the rest of the University com
munity. The play espouses no dogma
or plot. The author suggested a
scenario to actors and then
transcribed their improvisa
tions. Juxtaposing and editing
the material, Terry produced
the 1966 topical play.
"The impact is just as great
now and may well be in thirty
years," stated Bernie Clark,
one of the four directors of the
show. Chris Stasheff, Linda
Varvcl and Dana Mills com

plete the directorial corps. This
' braintrust style of directing" is
new in itself.
A hard rock band, a slide
show and destruction of -the
a u dience-actor relationship
contribute to the production. It
is hardly traditional theater.
Performances are being held
at the Hungry Id. 640 N. 16th.
on Jan. 9th and 10th at 8 p.m.
On Jan. 11th the play will move
to the Centennial Room in the
Nebraska Union. The time is
the same. Admission for all
performances is $1.
The story is a life cycle of a
new recruit. There are 14 ac
tors and over one hundred
characterizations. .
"The result of the continuous
role-changing is strong
personal involvement with the
person rather than the actor's
role," according to Miss
Varvel.

There are no pi-ops and the
. actor's often sit ir the audience .
and converse directly with
. them.
"This isn't musical comedy,
but we occasionally sing on
key," mused director Clark.
Three Centennial College
students provide hard rock,
blues and even a waltz to aug
ment the action.
The play combines black
humor, anti-war sentiment,
hard rock music and an avant
garde script. What else do you
need to get h'p? ,

"We need all types," com
mented Director Harvey
Miller. "Students with musical
and dancing abilities as well as
actors are invited to attend,"
he added.
Miller stated that he looked
for the ability to respond to
director's suggestions rather
than polished performance at
