              "Royal Gambit," To Open This Weekend
Students at CBC will have the
rare opportunity to see some excellent drama tonight through
Saturday, May 20. The current
production is "Royal Gambit"
by Hermann Gressieker (translated by George White.) It is
being directed by acting drama
department head Lee Scanlon.
This is the fifteenth play directed by Scanlon. He has directed in community and university theater "from Boston to
Bangkok."
Music and costuming for
"Royal Gambit" will all be authentic from the period represented. Becky Werner is acting
as wardrobe mistress. Set design
is by Eric Ismay. Ron Neufeld
was in charge of set construction. Steve Jones is handling the
lighting. Richard Reed is house
manager. Denise Watkins is the
assistant director and Melanie
Johnson is production secretary.
The story of Henry VIII and his
six wives provides the framework of the story. The playwright uses this as his point of
departure to look at modern
man — where he is, where he's
been, and where he's going. The
play asks these questions and
provides what Scanlon believes
"to be the only answer, and to
know the answer you'll have to
-see ttie piav.'1
Scanlon is playing the lead,
and only male, role of Henry
VIII. His six wives are being
played by the following young
ladies, Katrina of Aragon will
be played by Jerri Eurich, who
you will undoubtedly remember
for her roles in this years productions of "No Exit" and
"Luke". Jane Seymour will be
Becky Werner, also of "Luke"
fame. Melanie Johnson, Readers'
Theatre director, will appear as
Anna of Cleves. Anne Boieyn
will be portrayed by Kelly Dial,
remembered for her many roles
at CBC. Katheryn Howard will
be played by attractive Darlene
Trailor, a member of Readers'
Theatre. The part of Kate Parr
will be enacted by Jeanette Ware.
The story presented in "Royal
Gambit" is explained by the author in this way; "Henry VIII
represents one type of modern
man. The aspects of the modern
age develop through the tragic-
comedy of his life. The historical
affairs with the six wives transcend history."
Pre-sale tickets for "Royal
Gambit" are still available from
the drama office at 50c for students and $1 for all others. The
play   wi\i    be   presented   in   tirz
college chape! at 8 p.m.

Baptist Youth Choir
Plans Musical "Real"
Penny Liner Thursday
To Help Summer Mission
The youth choir of Magnolia
Avenue Baptist Church will present a folk musical "Real"
Thursday night, May 25 for the
CBC student body. The musical
will  begin at  8:00  in the gym.
The choir wanted to give the
CBC students an opportunity to
see this musical before they left
for the summer. The musical
has a tremendous message for
everyone.
Directed by Dr. Philip Landgrave, the choir has worked on
this for the past three months.
Recently they sang a portion of
it for the Greater LA Associ-
ational semi - annual meeting.
They also sang at the Orange
County Youth Rally where 30
decisions were recorded.
"Real" is the story of a young
man's search to find a meaning
in the Christian life. He discovers not only the saving power
of Jesus Christ but the reality
of the in-dwelling of the Holy
Spirit. He finds the reality of
life through a vital, meaningful
relationship  with  Jesus Christ.
The choir is composed mostly
of high school students but a few
college students are participating. Becky Crawford, Carmen
Sandoval, and Zella Whorton are
the participating CBC students.
RCC and UCR are also represented in the choir.
The choir members are excited about the impact this musical has already had upon their
lifes. They are praying for a
rich experience for all CBC students.
The fund raising for summer
missions is nearing its final
stages with only a few projects
left for this year. The projects
include a penny liner, a chapel
offering and the gathering of
pledges.
The penny liner will be Thursday night at 6 by the dorms.
Everyone lines ud their pennies
in one continuous line to see how
far the line can extend. The pennies are donated to summer missions. Last year $70 in pennies
was   given  at  the   penny   liner.
The last chapel offering will
Be May 24. Support this offering
so   the   goal   can   be   reached.
The final project is the gathering of student pledges. Since
many students are concerned they
have made an effort to pledge to
give varying amounts to the summer missions drive. Other students are involved in the gathering of these funds.
CBC  can   still reach its goal
so   that   all  the   summer  missionaries  will be able to serve
this summer. CBC will have five
of its   students   serving  in this
program so each students needs
to support this mission with their
prayers and their money.
Goal    $900
Money Earned    $615
Needed    $285
