PLAYERS OPEN SEASON NOV. 17 The College Players, dramatic club at the Southern Oregon Col lege of Education, will open the drama season Nov. 17 with a collection of three one-act plays The plays will appear under the title of "On Stage." The three one-act plays are "In the Zone" by Eugene O’Neil: "The Duel.” a one-act play based on the play "Andrew Jackson,” by Angus L Bowmer, and "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare The com plete story of "As You Like It" will be shown although some acenes will be summarized by a I narrator and will be illustrated by colored photographs on the screen In "As You Like It" the stage setting will closely resemble the I original stage settings and the players will be dressed in colorful costumes typical of that time. The play, "In the Zone," will re quire modern costumes. The high tension of the play will not be diminished by an elaborate stage setting as only two tiers of bunks will be shown from the interior of the ship, within which all action takes place. In "The Duel" the scene is in a dense forest and the “life and death" scene will be played in 18th century dress. Designing of all costumes of the three plays has been under the di rection of Marian Ady, art in structor at the college. Doris Dan- ford of Ashland and Gene Perry of Roseburg have assisted in the costuming. All stage settings have been de- signed and constructed under the supervision of Otta Wilda of the college art faculty. Assistants in this work were Verne Johnston of of Medford: Stanley Bennett Grants Pass: Bernice McMartin of Red Bluff. Calif., and Lyman Rob inson of Medford.
