Harvard's Dramatic Club will open its summer season next Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock, when it will present at the Agassiz Theatre "Look Back on Today," a romantic comedy in one act by Eva Wolas. The performance will be the play's world premiere.
Following the production, the club is planning a record dance for all Harvard and Radeliffe students which will last until approximately 12:30 o'clock.
Directed by Hibbard G. James '46, this first HDC production of the term will have a cast of five. Andrew M. Smith '48. Tom Gad of the V-12, and William M. Mayleas '46 will play the male parts, while Miss Doreen Saxon, Radcliffe '48, and Miss Nancy Boyle, Radcliffe '46 will hold down the female roles in the play's premiere.
All of the players in this thespian venture are candidates for the society, thus following the HDC tradition of using only untried actors for each season's initial performance.
Only one-act plays will be presented by the Dramatic Club during the summer term. In normal times the group presents at least one full-length, three act production each semester, but wartime conditions, causing a lack of time for rehearsals, have forced a curtailment of the usual program.
