New Yorkers, Alabamans see
University professor's plays
by Carolyn Hull
University Theatre professor Joseph
Baldwin recently had "the thrill of having a
play produced in New York City," and saw
another of his original scripts done at the
University of Alabama. Through special
arrangments, he was able to attend both
shows.
The "playwrighting teacher" as he termed
himself, started taking playwrights seriously
while stationed in London during World War
II. He had a chance to see a lot of theatre
there. His work includes verse plays, prose,
adaptations to one act and full length shows.
Baldwin estimated that he has written
about 20 one acts and 24 long plays over the
years.
His one-act verse play "Pool Hall of the
Heart" which was produced by a repertory
theatre in New York City, won the St. Louis
Poetry Center Award in 1967.
According to Baldwin, it has four actors
playing a number of different roles, trying
them on like masks. He called it somewhat
absurdist.
Baldwin's published plays are with
Samuel French and The Dramatic Publishing
Company. He receives royalities for each
performance.
Creative work in the arts is considered
post graduate work, Baldwin said, so he likes
to see the shows produced to view the final
outcome of his efforts.
This also was arranged with the
University of Alabama on its production of
"Eagles, Walking."
A comedy of World War II, the show was
produced as a world premiere for t'o
mainstage season. According to Baldwin, the
head of the theatre there, Marian Galloway,
is a former professor he worked with while
he was at the University of Iowa for
graduate studies.
She contacted him about doing an
original script and Baldwin sent a rough draft
which they rewrote and polished for the
production.
The show deals with five men, lett-over
officers, and what is done to fill their time
such as mail call and finding girls for Friday
night dances.
"Although they'd never admit to it, the
play shows how the men, waiting for their
planes to arrive on base, get very possessive
and critical when forced to share a small
place," Baldwin said.
