Tickets will be on sale at the door for 50c. Proceeds will go to the Drama Club for the production of "David Copperfield," adapted for the stage by Richard Reed from Dicken's book. 'The Debut" deals with three very different Christians whoare about to be thrown to the lions. "On the surface, this may appear to be an inappropriate subject for a comedy," commented Reed. "However, these people react toward their situation just as you or I might; therefore it is a comedy. Speculate on the propriety of all you want, just as long as you attend one of the performances to verify your speculations." Richard Reed, writer and director of "The Debut" will be playing tVie part of Tamarius, the actor. In previous perform ances he has played the part of Philippius, the spiritual leader. Richard also wrote the lyrics to the song "The Malady of Love is Nerves," which is performed in the arena by Tamarius.

Musicians for the play will be Mark Craig--trumpet, Buck De- Weese--drum, Eddy Merino—piano, and Frank Smith -- sou- zaphone. The lights and sound effects will be handled by Steve Jones. When asked what his inspiration was for writing 'The Debut," Reed related that it was the movie "Sign of the Cross." It was the porototype of the martyr movies" that involved throwing Christians to the lions. Reed immediately felt that "Someone must write something about the early Christian martyrs that is credible and not s;hmalz and melodrama." 'The Debut" was intended to be a funny religious play. "I was tiredof soapy religious drama which was acting like martyrdon was the end ofthe world." Reed related further his ideas on the subject. "Drama should provoke, not preach." "That which is true is inherently utici Ca.ing utiu t,iut.* laming, uiiu when it is contrasted with man's lack of understanding, it is humorous." "WHAT'S THE MATTER, OLD MAN?
