OCTOBER 15,1971 MERCYHURSTCOLLEGE PAGE 7Erie PlayhouseA N D R E
S D E S I G N S S E T
Friday evening, October 15th,the lights will go up en the homeof
Willy Loman, the protagonistof Arthur Miller's great tragedy"Death
of a"Salesman." Whenthey do, Dennis John Andres ofMercyhtirst
College will [mostlikely be standing in the rear ofthe Erie
Playhouse to see justhow wdl the show plays on hisbrainchild in
front of a payingaudience. ADennis has been working onthe show
since well before theschool year started. Playhousedirector, Bill
Cohen, invited himto submit a rough design for theproduction in
August. "Since thisArthur Miller Classic has longb*en one of
Andres' favorites, hejumped at the opportunity. Therest will become
history onOctober 15.Designing is by no means a newventure for
Dennis Andres.Merc>hurst theatre-goers havebeen enjoying the
fruits of his
fertile mind since his first set atthe "Hurst" back in 1970.
Theshow w as "Man of La Maneha."Since then it has been prettymuch
of a race fror1 one openingnight to another. The shows hehas
designed and built at the"Hurst" are: "The AmericanDream" "The
Heiress,""Fiddler on the RoofV-A Viewfrom the Bridge" and of
course"ManofLaMancha." \In addition to designing andbuilding, Mr.
Andres directed "AView from The Bridge" * andtaught
stagecraft.Dennis Andres claims thatthere is no rest for the
wicked.Consequently, as,soon as schoolwas out la st' spring,
Dennissigned up as one of the twotechnical directors for the
ErieSummer Festival of the Arts.Keeping up what has become,his
nornal pace, he managed tofinally get a short rest by way of abrief
stay in the hospital duringANTIGONE. . .
(Continued from Page 6)Joe Sal amon, the part of theguard,
played by Tom Richter,and the messanger, played byRandy Bird. >|
Each character is dominoed bythe moving force of tragedy;
bothAntigone and Haemon die 'andCreon is left alone with much
oflife yet unlearned.! Creon'smandate is carried out, but onlyin a
superficial sense, for strungbehind him he has left broken,
scattered lives. *. r ^Tonight's performance begins -* J-.-.-^
wat 8:15 in the Mercyhurst Little R A T E D ATheater. It is
strongly urged that anyone interested in ModernTheater, presented
in a creativeway, should i attend the performance and leave,
knowingthat the "theater" is not "reallydead." It is alive, since
man canspeak to man in a universal waythat has survived for I
thousandsof years. | I
what was supposed to be hisvacation.Does Dennis plan ito
slowDown? He says that he doesn'tknow how. The theatre is what
heloves and he is happy only whenhe is immersed up Co the roots
ofhis thinning hair.On tap for this season are theshows at the
*"hurst" beginningwith "The Prime of Bliss JeanBrodie" and the
possibility ofanother show at the EriePlayhouse.If you would like
to enjoy thefruits of Dennis Andres' toils,stop at the Erie
Playhouse andtreat; yourself to what BrooksAtkins called "one of
the finestdramas in the whole range of theAmerican theatre."There
are special discounts onTuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,and Sunday.
You can see "Deathof a Salesman" for as little as$2.25. If you want
to do things in abig way, you can get together agang of 500 or more
and see theShow for only $ l .80. | ,j"Death of a Salesman" will
runfrom October 15th thru October24th. Tickets may be reserved
byphoning the box office. 899-7008.
