Fund-Raising Play to be Staged
In Authentic Court Room Setting
Casting is complete and rehears
als have begun for the fifth annu
al Hadassah fund-raising play,
“The Night of January 16,” which
will be presented in the Richland
County Courthouse In Columbia
on February 10 and 11.
Frank Harris will be the direc
tor again as he has been for the
past four successful ventures into
dramatics—'The Late Christopher
Bean,” "Light Up The Sky,” "Out
Of The Frying Pan” and "My Sis
ter Eileen.”
The cuirent play is unusual for
two reasons. First, since it is a
courtroom drama involving a
murder trial, the play will be pre
sented in the courtroom of the
county courthouse instead of the
Town Theater as have the produc
tions of the past.
Second, the play has TWO end
ings. A Jury will be drawn from
the audience at the beginning of
the play and will determine
whether the accused murderess is
Actually guilty or not guilty. The
author of the play has provided
two endings, each of which the
east must be prepared to act out.
Appearing in "The Night of
January 16" will be Carol Glass,
Dave Voegel, Melton Kligman,
Saul Lavisky, Dottie Lavisky, A1
Fields, Frank Sandler, Annette
Berry, Flo Spiers, Jeanette Wal-
berg, Sarah Kline, Ben Kutler,
Maury Fischman, Either Roth,
and Herb Young.
Director Frank Harris has a
background of stock and profes
sional theHter and appears in
many local little theater plays.
