By Ellen Lindquist
D URING THE SUMMER months,
the Power Center is merely a
stage and the University Players are
merely players preparing for their 1983-
84 season. But when fall rolls around,
the scene changes and the stage
becomes host to four acts that will take
place throughout the year.
"The four plays we'll be performing
are still in the planning stages," said
Lyndsey Nelson, associate director of
the Professional Theatre Program.
"But soon we'll be performing them on
the real stage."
The first play to be staged is Spell #7,
by Ntozake Shange, who is also known
forFour Colored Girls... "Spell#7, a light
musical, is about the development of
black performers," said Nelson. "It is
set in a contemporary Manhattan bar.

Mikell Pinckney, the former University
student who directed Amen Corner last
year, will come from his home in New
York to direct this piece. It also has
minstrel shows and some elements of
the '20s and '30s," Nelson added.
Cyrano de Bergerac, based on the
18th century French swashbuckling
poet, swordsman and romantic, is the
second planned play. Directed by PTP
Director Walter Eysselinck, it will run
from November 23-27. "The Emil
Rostand play as adapted by Anthony
Burgess is a great play," said Lydnsey
Nelson. "No one leaves the theater un-
moved after seeing Cyrano.
"Cyrano will require a cast of about
30 for. fights, and crowd scenes. The
play is a great challenge technically
because it takes place over a number of
years."
From February 8-12 the players will
perform their third play, Brandon
Behan's The Hostage.
"The Hostage is a comedy but it's
also a very moving play, a very human
play about a young cockney soldier who
is held hostage in Dublin and acciden-
tally shot."
The last play to be staged is Dion
Boucicault's London Assurance from
April 11-15. This piece is a comedy
about mistaken identities, scams and
scoundrels, even lovers and lawyers -
all centered around a main character.
"London Assurance is tremendous
fun," Nelson said. "We are very excited
about the season even though it's still in
the planning stagea."
