"Requiem for a Nun," Ruth Ford’s stage adaptation of Nobel laureate
William Faulkner’s novel, will play in the Masquer Theater at the University

Firman H. Brown, Jr., chairman of the UM Drama Department.
In "Requiem for a Nun" the characters of Faulkner's earlier
novel, "Sanctuary," reap an emotional harvest sown in youth. In the UM
production, Georgia Tree, Billings, is cast as Temple, a central figure
in both novels. Gowan Stevens is played by Jim Baker, Conrad; Gavin Stevens,
by Bill Dobson, Great Falls; Nancy Mannigoe, by Barbara Trott, Billings; the
Governor, by James Murphy, New York, N. Y.; Pete, by Joe Ferrell, Lewistown,
and Mr. Tubbs, by A1 Terhune, a graduate assistant in drama.
Harry Trickey, a graduate student, is director of the play. Glenn Gauer,
Great Falls, is scene and technical designer, and Chris McGuire, Dutton, is
costumer.
The box office will be open today (Sunday) through Tuesday from noon to
5 p.m. and Wednesday through next Sunday from noon to curtain time. 30
