Way” directed by John Taylor.
This comedy drew 399 people on
six nights.
“Speaking of Murder,” direct-
ed by Ben Johnson, attracted 290
patrons during its five perform-
ances.
Statistics indicate that Wing

comedies last season over heav-
ier dramatic attempts.
To prepare for next season,
the Wing and Masque play read-
ing committee headed by Peter
van der Vliet meets Tuesday
nights to come up with top
shows for next season.
Possibilities next season in-
clude such hits as “Make a Mil-
lion” and “On Dine.” The com-
mittee hopes that “Once More
with Feeling,” the Arlene Fran-
cis hit on Broadway, will be
available for little theater
groups.
Other plays being read include
“Fair Game,” “Who Was That
Lady I Saw You With?”, “Cloud
Seven,” “A Palm Tree in a Rose
Garden,” “A Shadow of May En-
emy,” “Under a Sycamore Tree,”

at Casa Manana.

75, and Mrs. Earle. She’s play-
ing Princess Ying Yaowolak, a
feature role. She has lines to
speak and is listed in the cast
along with the principals from
New York.
Donna, who played in the TWC
Donna Gail
production of “The King and I”
last spring, was chosen for the
role from among 300 youngsters
who tried out.
Christina, daughter of Vic Pa-
toski of Dept. 6-5, is playing
one of the royal Siamese chil-
dren. She has been active in
school plays and talent shows
but is making her debut with an
adult theater group.
Both young-
sters are fea-
tured in the
schoolroom
scene in the
-v ' f pi song “Getting
W § to Know You”
with Anna,
played by
Christina Lind.
They’re also
featured in the

Children” and are on stage in
the king’s death scene.
