A play of American folklore, the
three-act play, will open Friday,
May 4, for a three-day run through
Sunday, with all performances be¬
ginning at 8:30 p. m.
Built around the well-known leg¬
end of Barbara Allen, “Dark Of the
Moon” is the love story of a witch-
boy and a human girl. Blended with
the basic story are numerous ele¬
ments of laughter and comedy.
Among the more unusual aspects
of the play are the many well-
known folk ballads and hymns
which are used throughout the fan¬
tasy. Both guitars and accordions
are employed to accompany the
songs and provide background
music.
Nine partial settings designed by
Kermit Shafer have been painted
on transparent curtains so that they
resemble sketches existing within
the mood of the play which the
main setting represents. The main
setting which is a backdrop to the
entire action of the play has been
painted to represent the mountain
locale in which the play is set.
Heading the large-cast show
which is directed by Paul E. Ouel¬
lette are Jerry Rodgers and Carol
Underwood. Rodgers is a veteran
member of the department of
drama, having appeared in almost
every play which has been given by
the University Theatre during the
past four years. Miss Underwood is
a freshman drama major who came
to the university from Jefferson
high school where she was active in
theatre work. She will be making
her college debut as Barbara Alien
in the current production.
