KI phere for the theatre student. The
that the PTP will act as an arm reaching out
n (PTP) to bring in as many professional the-
e joined atre and repertoire companies as will
become oblige.
3t This fall, the New York City Cen-
antee in- ter Acting Company, which will be
s n residence for four weeks, will pre-
student, sent four different plays and hold a
stardom series of workshops.
"The students will have a chance
to work directly with the profession-
Players, als," comments J. -Roland Wilson,
d Meyer, manager of the University Theatre
t atnnos Program. "If students are not hired
immediately by the company, they
RANTS will at least have the vital exposure.
They can see what is expected of
private them and the company directors will
d by The have a chance to get to know the
students."

U dr
THE SPECIAL workshops will com-
plement the normal academic thea-
tre program which is highly oriented
towards production.
"Those who want to go professional
do quite well because of their experi-
ence here," says Wilson. "We teach
them all types of theatre-clasical,
modern, and musical."
The eventual goal of the theatre
program is to break away from the
speech department and join up with
the dance department. A heavier em-
phasis on musical theatre would be
the outcome.
THE THEATRE program recently
received permission to set up a Mas-
ter of Fine Arts degree in technical
theatre and design. Wilson forsees

ama

program

the degree to include acting as soon
as the theatre enlarges its staff.
The PTP may give the student
some stardust and a glimpse into the
professional world, but, the Univer-
sity Players gives the student a
chance to put theory into practice.
Along with the more popular Power
Center series they produce, which
features professionals in either the
acting or design aspect, the Players
also have a Showcase series. The en-
tire endeavor is> student run. A
major in theatre is not required to
participate and the Players hold open
auditions.
For those who see their role as
audience the only role they'll ever
play, the PTP and University Play-
ers' partnership is also beneficial.
Wilson says in this upcoming year
there'll be a drastic reduction in

the ticket prices for the University
Players' series. "We would like to
have a 60 per cent student audi-
ence.
FOR THOSE who cannot afford the
reduced prices, don't give up the
theatre. One can always, usher and
see a play for free. The University
Players have a sheet one can sign
several weeks in advance.
The University Players' tentative
'74-'75 schedule opens up the Power
Center seriew with the French play,
Cyrano de Bergerac, and ends it with
a new rock musical version of the
Greek classic, Birds.
The PTP series, also presented in
the Power Center, will }be presenting
five hits from New York, including
two award winning musicals, Seesaw
and Pippin.
