Emerald Entertainment Editor,
The University Theatre is dark
and eerie without an audience.

down the ramp. “Must you re
paint it black just before I enter
in white shoes?”
The lamppost flashes on. The
spotlight turns blue.
Other characters in various at
tire wander about, break into
small groups and then gather to
gether as the director calls their
attention. Somehow, he and the
painter seem out of place among
the array of characters, mostly
beggars and prostitutes in various
stages of decay, which surround
them.
A POLICE commissioner, one
of the few fairly well-dressed
personalities seen, sits on the

Suddenly the music switches
from a show tune to jazz, and two
cast members begin an impromp
