3 One Acts
Have Casts,
To Rehearse
Casting is complete, and rehearsals have begun for the annual JC one-act plays.
One play, "Ladies of the Mop,"

The play is concerned with four
scrub women in a theatre who decide they can do as good as any
actors. The cast includes, Annie,
played by Marilyn Dahl; Mattie,
Vickie Olson,- Hattie, Carol Johnson; Bertha, Victoria Sizer.
Because of rehearsal schedule
difficulties, "Ladies of the Mop"
has only one cast.

an old-fashioned "mellerdramer"
concerned primarily with fun. According to Robert Wise, JC theatre director, the audience may be
"salted" to help the audience boo
the villain, and cheer the hero.

played by Adeline Sommerfield
and Donna Linderbaun; Anna,
played by Janet Steinmetz and
Judy Connolly; Bertha, Susan Aeg-
ler and Pat Harms; Jack, Paul
