BiancajPart Second Role For UO Theater Veteran rsy non smitn “She’s a prostitute,” is the three word description tlpt Jo DeLap, junior in speech, has for Bianca, the role she plays in the Univer sity Theater production of “Othel lo,” which opens Dec. 1. "But a very nice girl, anyway,” Miss DeLap adds. “She’s really full of fun, frivolity, and gaiety.” This is the actress’ first attempt at Shakespeare, her only other University Theater acting assign ment being Antiope in last sea son’s favorite, "The Warrior’s Hus band.” But the two roles are op posites. “Antiope was afraid of men,” Miss DeLap explained. “Bianca chases them.” The man she chases is Cassio, played by Don Doak. “But Cassio doesn’t love Bianca, even though Bianca throws her self at him. He just thinks she’s too low for him.” The role is small but good, Miss D^ap thinks. She’s particularly happy about her third scene, in which “I’ve learned of Cassio be ing wounded, and Iago tries to in volve me in helping to contrive the attack upon Cassio. I just lie on the steps sobbing.” But does she finally get her man? “Oh nobody worries about that,” she explains. “I just lie on 'the steps for awhile, and then run off sobbing. What an exit!” While this is Miss DeLap’s sec ond acting job, it represents the 10th consecutive University theat er production that she’s .worked on, in one way or another. “It all started with 'The Show Off’ in old Guild Hall, the last regular production in the old theat er. I followed the plays from there into the new theater.” She’s worked on each produc tion, regular and summer season, working at every job from assist ant director through stage crews and acting. She’s worked on lights, props, construction, box office, and cloakroom crews—in fact “every thing but the sound crew.” Her biggest backstage assign ment was stage manager for “Martha,” the largest production to be presented so far on the new stage.
