Local theater offers quality plays
By JOEL Bl'KKE
Staff writer
Athens residents have been
fortunate in having a commu
nity theater offering top
quality entertainment The
Town and Gown Theater has
existed for 19 years using local
talent who offer their time
without charge to put together
a good presentation
Helen Kelley, general mana
ger and director of the Town
and Gown, is the only paid
employe Her salary is funded
by the Federal Comprehensive
Employment Act
The theater is currently
hoping to expand in size.
Kelley said
''Our problem has been a
lack of good promotion We
seat 150 people right now. but I
know we can hold more. Our
ultimate goal is to build a
workshop as an extension of
the theater," she added
Six plays will be shown this
season beginning with "The
Lion in Winter” Oct. 11-16,
20 22 Kelley says the cast is
well balanced and very talent
ed for this medieval comedy.
"We've never had so many
people turn out for auditions as
for this first play." There were
40 people for a seven-cast
member play "In the past we
just had enough to east them"
she said.
In the past. Kelley said the
theater ran a show for only
four days This year, all shows
will run at least eight
evenings
Prices for admission are
S3 50 for adults and $2 for
senior citizens and children
under 12 The musical “Stop
the World I want to Get Off"
by Anthony Newly will be S4
for adults
Kelley said the theater is in
need of patrons who will
contribute $50 or more to the
theater For a contribution the
patron gets two season tickets
plus invitations to all meetings
and the annual final awards
banquet, Kelley said.
The theater always needs
volunteers interested in help
ing out the company. By
becoming a Working Voting
Member a person receives
newsletters on upcoming
shows, notices on membership
meetings, and voting privileges
for members who have worked
on two Town and Gown
projects during the year.
Membership cosls S3 a year for
students and S5 a year for
others.
All proceeds go to improving
the theater, Kelley explained
Enrollment is up
Although not official, present
enrollment figures indicate
enrollment has risen since last
year at the University. With
the completion of late registra
tion, 21,471 students are
registered
Despite the overcrowded
appearance at late registration
<5880 students late registered
Wednesdayl, there is an
addition of only 385 students
since this time last year This
is an enrollment increase of
only 18 per cent. Of the 21,471
students, roughly 76 per cent
are undergraduates. 17 per
cent graduate students and 7
per cent are professional
students
An added increase is expec
ted in the official enrollment
figures, which will be released
in a couple of weeks, due to the
extended late registration date
for Jewish students observing
Yom Kippur.
Registrar Bruce T. Shutt,
observes that this will probab
ly be the last year an increase
in enrollment can be expected
due to the past birth rate
