HDC Starts Work On Three Spring Plays This Week

With a full spring term schedule before him, HDC President Paul Burgraff '48 yesterday completed casting and started rehearsals for three coming plays. "Amphytryon 38", first of the reading theatre productions, is slated for presentation next Tuesday, while a double-feature production of "Waiting For Lefty" and "The Ping-Pong Players" will hit the boards in mid-March.

These plays represent only a part of the term's work, with another full-scale production set for May and readings coming every two weeks. After a three night home stand, "Waiting For Lefty" and "The Ping-Pong Players" will go on a short read tour to Smith and Wellesley.

Dramatists' First Twin Bill

The March production will be the first double bill the HDC has presented. "Waiting For Lefty" is a social dram of labor movement, and will be shown as a contrast to "The Ping-Pong Players," a light Saroyan love-story acted while the two characters play ping-pong on stage.

The cast for "Waiting For Lefty:" James A. Walker '50 as Fatt; Anthony A. Plano '47, as the Gunman; Theodore P. Allegretti '47 as Joe; Mrs. Helen McCloskey as Edna; Miss Ronnic Feltman as Florence; Ralph P. Katz '48 as Irv; Michael Kahn '46 as Sid; Martin Deutsh '49 as Clayton; Arlene Prigoff as Stan; Palmer Dixon '50 as Phil; Robert L. Weehsler '49 as Dr. Benjamin: John Mahan '49 as Agale.
