The chosen winter quarter production is Our Town, a revival of the Pulitzer prize winner by Thornton Wilder. Thursday, February 12, has been tentatively set as the date of presentation. The play has neither stage scenery nor props; its drama in action is achieved by the use of pantomime and special lighting. With its setting in Grover's Corners, N.

The part of the stage manager, made famous when Frank Craven played it at the Henry Miller theater in New York in 1937, will be played by Jack Barnett, Murphy. In addition td the stage manager, the play has six semi-leading roles. Masculine leads; will be played by Dan Glenn, as Dr. Gibbs; Herbie Foster, as Editor Webb, and Bob Pittillo, as George Gibbs.
