CHRISTIAN GROUP The Disciple Student Fellowship will have an election of next year's officers this Sunday at its regular meeting held at 9:30 at the First Christian Church. By Ann Severance If you were one of those unfortunate people driving along North Boulevard about seven o'clock last Sunday night, and if you have been getting whitehead- ed worrying about what you saw, it's time to rest easy. What looked like a bunch of people leaving a sale with some weird odds and ends was only the crews of the plays switching dimmers, makeup, lights, and audiences. What plays? Why the two religious dramas, of course. The first one was staged at 6:30 in the First Baptist Church. "He Came Seeing" was under the direction of Mary Leslie Addison and Jimmy Rogers. The cast consisted of Bill Crayton • Joan Hodges, Jim Bill Geer, Gail Pitt- man, Art Holmes, Dave Hewett, Jackie Dossett, Martha Thames, and Barbara Smith. Ann Boyter and Ann Severance did the makeup, while Ramon Delgado managed the lights. The story told of a blind boy who is healed. He is cast from the synagogue because he will not denounce the Jesus who healed hini. His mother and father turn against him and the crowd calls him an outcast. He chooses, never theless, to remain true to the One Who gave sight to his eyes and to his soul. For this he must pay the price. After a mad scramble to rush vital equipment across the street, "The 'Judas' Coin" was presented at the First Presbyterian Church. This play was adapted for the Church by Mary Lou Goodwin and Edward Pacha and was under their direction. The music was under the direction of Ann Taylor and Ed Pacha, lights were manag ed by Richard .Rigsby and Barbara Van Akin, and the makeup, by Ann Severance. The cast included Susan Jacobs, Carl Gipson, Melvin Gentry, and Frances Cole. This plav told of the visit of a stranger. Through his influence a great sin likened to that of Judas' is adverted and thfe way made clear for the One Who knocks on- every door. Whether the visitor was a dream, a vision, or a reality matters little in the light of what was accomplished through his coming. Both of these religious dramas were under the auspices of the Religious Drama Program of Stover Theatre. Now that you know the whole story, I hope you can rest easy.
