theatre:
Directing and buildin
a reetr
By LAURIE HARRIS
"The values in a play must
interest everyone in some way,"
says Allen Fletcher, Artistic
Director of the newly formed
Actors Company which premier
ed in Ann Arbor with In the
Matter of J. Robert Oppen-
heimer.
Fletcher is not small; in fact,
he is quite large. But he is un-
assuming and takes his seat
with a gentle caution. He holds
his elbows in tight to his sides
and speaks with a soft, but
trained voice. His large feathery
eyebrows accentuate his words,
and his hands punctuate his
sentences.
Before he speaks it would be
difficult to believe that he was
Artistic Director of the Amer-
ican Shakespeare Festival at
Stratford, Connecticut and is
presently Resident Director of
Ameriea n Conservatory of
Theatre in San Francisco.,
The Actors Company has
branched out into the more
modern field presenting Ann
Arbor audiences with In the
Matter of J.Robert Oppen-
heimer, a contemporary drama
about the ethics behind the de-
velopment of the bomb.
Fletcher believes the theatre
is based on personal experience.
"It has to touch your life in
some way." Oppenheimer, Flet-
cher says, gives the audience a
present day "Everyman." He is
almost superhuman in his
eithical fight against the devel-
opment of the bomb creating a
character with whom everyone
would like to associate.
Plays have to speak to the
director also, says Fletcher, and
Oppenheimer was particularly
challenging. It has a great deal
of meaning, but the play as it
was written by Heinar Kipp-
hardt "has no climax." It is
merely .,a well edited manuscript
from an actual 1954 investiga-
tion. "There are no written
builds so the work must be done
by the directors and the actors."
"This becomes a Ic ore-not
boring, but hard work" says
Fletcher. But the exictement in
a, play of this variety is "the
reality of the material."

Summertree, the story of a boy

Feiffer's Little Murders will be

Every play, to be a valid pro-
duction, must have a lasting
message. The audience must, at
the same time, be willing to let
the message affect them-"they
must participate in theatre, not
just sit off and judge it," says
Fletcher.
Drama, throughout the coun-
try, has been hit by a drought.
Economic reasons stagnate the
growth of drama in New York.
There is only time and money
for the big long-run musical.
And even that seems to be a
thing of the past. Too many
shows and people have invested
extreme amounts of money only
to fold after four days to the
New York Risk. So actors tend
to look elsewhere-and the Ac-
tors Company is providing an

are dedicated and truly inter-
ested in learning about the
theatre.
With the new Power Center
for the Performing Arts to be
finished within a year and a fine
repertory company willing to
come to Ann Arbor, there is
only one thing left to complete
the University theatrical world
-student theatre-goers.
Students don't want to sit for
two hours and listen and re-
spond to the established theatre.
They are lectured to in their
classes and they are lectured by
student leaders on the Diag.
Perhaps they can be lectured to
once more-only this time in an
artistic manner, by people who
know how to lecture and deliver
sermons that might be worth
listening to.

AT MENDELSSOHN THEATER
A young actor named Dirk
Benedict gives a pure and
honest performance as the
boy, absolutely free of stage
tricks or sham. In the play-
long flashbok, Benedict is
superb as he suffers the im-
mutable pain of a son trying
to get through to his father.
The father is played by Wil-
liam Myers in a particularly
good performance. Balding a
little, his sensitivity scabbed
by a job like Willy Loman's,
the father is heartbreaking
when he says what his son
imagines he'll say after his

In a deft dramatic touch,
the youth's flashbacks include
himself hanging out in his
backyard with himself as a
zhild. The y o u n g e r boy is
played by a red-haired boy of
unfailing appeal who is either
12 years old or a w i z a r d,
named John Clark and he was
wonderful.
The play is born in sym-
pathy, and in a young man's
sensitivity to himself as one
able to give love, to his fat
parents, to his -gentle girl-
friend. The cast is excellent;
