FRIDAY FOCUS Curtains rise for student directors
By Jennifer Ferguson ,partan Daily Staff Writer Tucked away between the classrooms on the first floor of Hugh Gillis Hall is the quaint Hal Todd Studio Theatre. Every spring it is home to the New Directors Showcase, a series of one-act plays per- formed and directed by San Jose State University students. This year's showcase features "Hold Me," a come- dy directed by Dinna Meyers; "Riders To The Sea," a tragedy directed by Gordon Lee; and "Marat Sade," a musical directed by Osiel Guitierrez. "Riders to the Sea," and "Marat Sade" are both 30- minute plays and will be shown together today at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7 p.m. "Hold Me," is a 45-minute play that will be shown i.,day at 1 p.m and Saturday at 7 p.m General admission is $5, student admission is $3. The students were chosen to direct the plays of their choice after completing a three-part series of theatre arts courses, where at each level they became increasingly more responsible for every- thing involved in directing plays. "This showcase gives students the responsibility of all aspects of directing, like the fundamentals of stage direction, incorporating technical effects and working with scripts, actors and designers," said David Kahn, a theatre arts associate professor and showcase director. Kahn and Robert Jenkins, an SJSU theatre arts professor, choose up to four drama students each year who show exceptional promise and who express interest in becoming student directors. "I became fascinated with 'Marat Sade' after read- ing it in David Kahn's history of theatre class" Guitierrez said. "I was definitely honored and quite excited about getting the chance to direct it." Guitierrez described the play, written by Peter Weiss. as a musical of sorts taking place in an asy- lum in 1808 during the French Revolution. The play centers around the main character, Marquis de Sade. a French author notorious for writing scandalous and obscene novels. The word sadism originates from the name Sade, who was PHOTO BY JANET BLATRBI w.
