Due to the heavy scheduling of the Association of Producing Art- ists' productions, Lydia Mendels- Sohn will be in constant use this fall, and since Soph Show was low man on the totem pole as far as squatters' rights are con- cerned, the group had its choice: Either put off production until spring or find a new home. So Soph Show has found a new home. Taking the stage in the Ann Ar- bor High School Auditorium in November will be the musical "Fiorello," the enchanting lyrical biography of the late mayor of New York City, Fiorello LaGuar- dia. The show, authored by the team of Adolph Comden and Betty Green, has recentl enjoyed suc- cessful runs both on Broadway and on the road. Comden and Green are the authors of "Won- derful Town," the musical version of "My Sister Eileen" and this year's MUSKET (Michigan Union Show-Ko-Eds Too) offering, and, more recently, the less well-known "Subways Are for Sleeping." This year's Soph Show produc- tion will be under the direction of Robert Seidman, '67; general tryouts and mass meetings for prospective cast and crew will be announced during registration week. The Professional Theatre Pro- gram was originated by its pres- ent directors, Prof. and Mrs. Rob- ert Schnitzer. Prof. Schnitzer has had a dis- tinguished career in theatrical administration. He managed and directed his own summer theatre for eight years and established the Experimental Theatre of the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA) in 1946. He served as general manager for producers Guthrie McClintic and Gilbert Miller. He next served as general manager of the U.S. State Department - ANTA International Exchange program which sent American music, dance and the- atre abroad and brought foreign performers to this country. On Tour In 1960 he became the general manager of the Theatre Guild American Repertory Company, touring with Helen Hayes, June Havoc and Helen Menken. Marcella Cisney .(Mrs. Schnitz- er) is a member of the directors' unit of the Actors Studio. She was the first American woman to di- rect such major television network dramas as "Studio One." She has staged productions for the New York Opera Company and has di- rected at the Pasadena Playhouse. She was in charge of talent devel- opment for the Warner Brothers motion picture studio and was later associate coordinator of per- forming arts for the American theatre under State Department auspices at the Brussels World's Fair. ThePlayers also expect to pro- duce two children's theatre plays during the course of the 1964-65 season. Under the direction of Margaret McKerrow of the speech depart- ment, the children's theatre pro- gram is the newest addition to the University's theatre fare. Suc- cessful presentations of "The Land of the Dragon" were staged in March, and "Greensleeves Magic" is scheduled for August 11.
