While Weber State's theatre department has long been recognized as having some of the finest talent in the intermountain west, very few people realize the extent to which they are involved in community movement. When a person is called on to portray a number of different characters, they find it necessary to view problems from different viewpoints. This naturally makes the theatre department a place where a good discussion on any question is just waiting to be started. Weber State Players, the drama club on campus, entered a float in the homecoming parade for the first time this year and won first place, special division. There were also several people from the department involved in the October and November moratoriums. All this does not mean, of course, that the department was neglecting its original purpose: bringing a wide range of plays to the community, such as the Victorian comedy Charley's Aunt to Anton Chekov's The Seagull and Shakespeare's Othello. With such an array of productions and talent it's a wonder that they received the acclaim due them. Allan Lykins |
