Not meeting June, July or August.
Drama Study Group-Arnold
Weiss (ahweiss@ku.edu & 842-5502)
June 10 at 1:30 in the Music Room. Drama Study Group met on May 13 to
settle, as promised, on an August Wilson play to be its next vehicle. This it
duly did, though (unlike a more widely reported conclave recently celebrated in
Rome) it settled on a surprise candidate: The Piano Lesson, one of
Wilson's somewhat less widely discussed
plays.
(The reasons for the choice will not be aired here-though they are
free
to be disclosed should anyone be sufficiently interested to ask.)
As an added attraction-and a serendipitous
follow-up to the Group's recently concluded reading of Eden End-attendees
were treated to a viewing of a video of London produced by fellow DSG member
James Taylor, narrated by himself and wife Thelma. The quality of the video was
nothing short of stunning; obviously the Society has an (at least to me)
unappreciated talent in its midst.
