BERTOLD BRECHT comes to
Presentation House from March
{9 to 28 when Capilano College
theatre students present the play-
wright’ s The Caucasian Chalk Cir-
cle,

The annual Presentation House
event is an attempt to show the
students what it’s like to tour with
a production, said producer Bill
Murdoch,

In the fall, the theatre students
Stage a studio performance; in the
spring, the group packs up its gear
and moves down the street to
Presentation House.

“They get to play in a little bit
bigger place and they are exposed
to what it’s like when touring —
they have to pay if they go over
time,’ he said.

“This particular play has some
intensity in it but it is also one of
his most lyrical. The reason we
chose a Brecht play is to service the
college’s need.”’

Not only will The Caucasian
Chalk Circle serve as one of a
range of plays, it will give litera-

ture students a chance to sce one
of Brecht's works on stage.

Since January, the 16-member
cast has been busy rehearsing three
times a week. ‘‘Because (the pro-
duction) is in the context of a
course and because some of the
people have part-time jobs we
don't rehearse every night,’' said
Murdoch.

But in keeping with the goal of
introducing students to the theatre,
the total rehearsal time is just
about equal to that of an actual
touring production.

“It very much approximates the
three-week period that profes-
sionals use.’”

The play is set to run March 19
to 21 and 24 to 28. Tickets are $7
for adults, $6 for students and
senior citizens. Curtain time is at 8
p.m. each night.

Vouchers for $1 off the admis-
sion price are available at the col-
lege’s Humanities box office.

For tickets or information call
the theatre at 986-1351 or the col-
lege at 984-4957,
