HDC Ditches Sanders, Rents Boston Playhouse for Show

Thwanted by the perennial handicaps of a Sanders production, the Dramatic Club yesterday landed a contract with Boston's Majestic Theater for their spring offering of "The Survivors."

Author Irwin Shaw has especially revised the play for the College production, which will run for seven performances, including Thursday and Saturday matinees, starting April 20.

Twelve hundred and fifty empty seats have forced the HDC to sell tickets outside the College in its attempt to prove that Shaw's anti-war play is better than its winter showing in New York and that Sanders is not the only place where undergraduates can put on a play.

Opening night has already approached SRO status with block sales to the Boston Copley Club and to the Cancer Club. Seats for later performances are headed for various veterans' organizations, and public sale will begin next week.

Tickets will be available at the Majestic box-office, the Coop, and several intown hotels.
