As I under- stand it, this committee will not examine the housing concerns of the 5000 graduate students, of whom only one-quarter live on campus. In order to avoid misun- derstandings, and perhaps a big- ger burden on the committee, it is advisable to make this clear in the name of the committee.

When Also, a veiled Ghost of Christmas Past, are 19th century in dress and English in accent. The Ghost of Christmas Future is represented by a large, dark, satin blob manipulated by three people. It is accom- panied by several smaller blobs. The play is creatively staged. The set is minimal: four levels of wooden platforms are accessed by two sets of stairs, a walk- way runs across the back of the theatre, and three asymmetrical arches visually di- vide the depth of the set in half. A few ta- bles and benches are placed on the plat- forms and on the ground downstage. The playing area is narrow and deep, which makes front seats preferable to those on the side. The depth is used to advantage by staging four or five different "layers" of action: the actors are divided into sever- al groups, and the groups are spread out through the length of the playing area. The lighting and sound effects are gen- erally effective. Most lighting in the fore- ground is a bit too dim to avoid spilling into the audience. However, color is nicely employed to evoke certain moods, and there are several scenes with special spot effects which are stunning. The music and other pre-recorded sounds are always ap- propriate, but it is the synchronized back- ground voices which are most notable. All of the wonderful staging would be wasted if it were not matched by equally wonderful acting performances. Most memorable are Heather Glenn in a variety of roles, including narrator, Daniel C. Goodman as Scrooge's nephew and several other characters, and most especially Christophier Wray Tarjan as Scrooge him- -self. Tarjan-meticulously develops hiswh, . acter, paying special attention to Scrooge" after his miraculous transformation. Co-directors Richard W. Freeman and Deborah Scaglione have taken a superb script and turned it into a magnificent production. Do yourself a favor and try to fit it into your end-of-term schedule.
