By ROSE PERLBERG "It's a particular challenge," said Beth-Sheva Laikin describ- ing her role of Hedda in Ibsen's drama, "Hedda Gabler" currently' appearing at the Dramatic Arts Cefiter. Tall, slim Miss Laikin finds por- traying Ibsen's character on stage "a wonderful experience in under- gy major," the hazel-eyed bru- nette recalled. She became actively interested in drama in her junior year al- though she "had always been fas- cinated by the theatre but some- how couldn't picture herself 'back of the footlights.'" "I was scared to,.death the first time I Appeared in a play," Miss Laikin laughed. But her self con- fidence soon grew, and by her sen- ior year she was holding leading roles in Speech Department plays. National Theatre Conference After graduation the aspiring young actress auditioned for a place in the National Theatre Conference. Made up of students from ten universities, the Confer- ence aimed to mix drama with work on a master's degree. She received a fellowship and played a, role in a road tour of "The Late Christopher Bean." The following year saw her in New York at New York University studying for a Master of Dramatic Arts in the School of Education. The East held her attention for a while. "Like every young actress I wanted a creek at the profes- sional theatre." But also like so many aspirants, Miss Laikin didn't get the right "breaks," so she spent much of her time playing leading roles for radio classical plays. Away from New York, the young actress , appearea in Norwich, Conn., with Edward Arnold as Stella Springer in "The Apple of My Eye." She had further acting experience with Kay Francis in "Goodbye My Fancy." The vivacious actress also work- ed as technical assistant for sev- eral Broadway shows. She further varied her career by doing free lance work in Detroit, teaching and engaging in social work. Miss Laikin returned to Ann Ar- bor for the year 1952-3 to play the leading role in all plays pre- sented by the Detroit Arts Thea- tre. Appeared at World Stage She also appeared in perform- ances at the World Stage in De- DAC Star Finds Ibsen Role 'Challenging' troit before coming back to Ann Arbor and the DAC, -at the invi- tation of director Joseph Gisterak to play in "Hedda Gabler." Asked what roles she prefers, Miss Laikin replied promptly, "I guess any role you are working at the moment is special." She grinned and added, "I'll ad- mit I've always been fascinated by Pirandello, Ibsen and Williams." Her eyes sparkled as . she ex- plained why playing the same role night after night doesn't become boring. "With every perform- ance, there's always something new-some added insight into the character you're playing."
