HDC Will Launch Its Fortieth Year With Double Bill

Not content with just one show in an evening, the Harvard Dramatic Club is planning to open its fortieth season next month by singeing the boards of Sanders Theatre with a double feature production of Clifford Odets' "Waiting for Lefty" and a William Saroyan short, "The Ping-Pong Players."

Neither being full-length shows, HDC President Paul Burgraff '48 plans to contrast Odets' powerful social drama with Saroyan's light comedy as an experiment in theater technique. "Waiting for Lefty" is a drama of the labor problem, while "The Ping-Pong Players" is a light one-act love scene.

Slated for a March 13 opening, the show will run three days, with a matinee March 14 and a final performance the following night. Andrew McCullough '47, director of "Adam the Creator" will also be in charge of this production. Casting will begin at Big Tree at 7:30 o'clock Monday.
