TWELFTH NIGHT Opening WednesdayCast Ready For Creation Of The Theatre By TRISH HOWLAND And the Great Directors said "Let there be actors, lights, sets, costumes, props, make-up, sound and publicity," and then it came to be...the creation of the theatre. The most recent "creation of the theatre" available for all I -ongwood students to experience is the opening of the Longwood Players Production of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT, October 6th, Wednesday night in Jarman Auditorium. The performances will run October 69 at 8:00 each evening. Four and a half weeks of
rehearsals have readied the cast for the opening, and the most recent additions to the production are al) the technical aspects. The set, created and construction by Mr. Ben Emerson, establishes the setting, obvious to the audience the Elizabethan locale. The lighting which Anne Saunders will provide, establishes the mood of this comic farce. She will provide many beautiful moments in the play, with only special lighting effects can create. An unusual approach to this Elizabethan comedy will be
apparent in the costuming for the play, which will be comtemporary in style. Most of the cast will be wearing jumpsuits adequate to their character. Perhaps you have already noticed the creativity in the publicity. Approximately a week ago, over a hundred letters were posted on boards all over campus, addressed to: "...the unknown belov'd." Sorry, you must come to Jarman to find out who it is. We, the Longwood Players, cast and crews of TWELFTH NIGHT, would like to extend to you a most welcome invitation to our "creation to the Theatre." All four performances are being dedicated to Dr. Herbert R. Blackwell.

busy to sit beside you and talk about any and everything. He has solved many a problem, and brightened innumerable days. His honesty and one-to-one personal contact will always be treasured by Longwood College. He has done so much — and asked only friendship in return.
Thank you, Dr. Blackwell. . . for the special moments you have given us for the dreams you have had for Longwood for the support and belief you have had in each dream and in each individual involved with Longwood.
