Arthur Miller's I'ulitier Prize winning
play, "Death of a Salesman," will be the
second production of the North Texas
speech and drama department. It will 1*
presented Tuesday through Dec. 14 in
the new Universi'y Theater.
OK, so Arthur Miller wrote the play;
the NTSU speech and drama department
has decided to do it; Carl Marder has
east it and will direct it. Now what? Is
that all there is to producing a play?
Hardly.
FEW NORTH TEXAS students realize
what goes into the actual production of
I
a play at North Texas. The f'hat went to
the director of 'Death of a Salesman,"
Marder, and i|uestioned him about what
makes a play production tick. Here are
his answers.
Chat: Why do the students act?
Marder: Most are in the play because
they have a sincere desire to work in the
theater in some form whether their as-
pirations are in public school education
or in the professional field. The produc-
tion of a play is demanding It is both
physically and emotionally exhausting
Before this play is presented we will have
averaged over 100 hours together in
rehearsal. And this doein't even relate
to the time spent away from the stage
for costume fitting, working on make-
up, publicity pictures and the individual
rehearsing of liner So the student has
to love his work in the theater in order
to be able to do it
Chat: Why produce a play?
Marder: Our purpose is to entertain
For two and a half hours we try to lift
the audience out of themselves to get
involved in someone else's problems. We
hope to stimulate their thinking and
feeling on a higher and more intense
level than normal.
Chat: How do you rehearse a play?
Marder: This could involve a compli-
cated answer but essentially I must take

Novice Debate Tournament in Abilene
Nov 21 and 22.
The team of Jane Carter and Diane

lor University in the quarterfinals. Their

Simmons, McMurry, Baylor and San
Angelo State.

posed the other NTSU team. Miss Ruten-
bar and Smith posted a 2-2 mark in the

i group of people, try to put them to-
gether and get them to work in the same
way. with the same style, the same atti-
tude, the same philoaophy about the
play, and teach them techniques that will
work for the success of the production.
Chat: What is the easiest thing about
producing a play?
Marder: Actually, what moat people
are unaware of is that memorisation of
lines is the easiest task of the actor. The
difficulty comes in becoming another
person believable to the audience.
Chat: Do the actors receive money for
their performances?
Marder: No.
Chat: Who pays for the production?
Marder: The univrsity. finances the
productions from the university budget.
Tickets are free to students with IDs. I
would like to get to the point though
where we could charge admission price
so that the profit from the box office
could go into scholarship funds for the
students. This would also help in bring-
ing quality drama students tn North
Texas.
THUS MARDER describes the detailed
work that goes into a play Maybe more
will not only want to go see the final
product, but can appreciate more the
actors' performance knowing their prep-
arations and purposes in the production
of the play.
"Salesman" tickets are now on sale in
the University Theater box office. Tick-
ets are free to students with IDs or to

admission for the public is $1 All seats
