was composed by Dean Marquis,
Mr. Welsgarber and Mr. Allexius
of the School of Music. The script
was written by Mr. Michael Casey
of the Department of Drama, and
the choreography was done by
Miss Virginia Moomaw of the
Physical Education Department.
Mr. Casey, Miss Moomaw, and Mr.
David Davis, Program Director of
WUNC-TV at Woman's College,
are collaborating on the direction
of the production, with Mr. Casey
rehearsing and directing the ac-tors,
Miss Moomow directing the
dance routines, and Mr. Davis serv.
ing as technical director.
Mr. Davis says that the Idea for
such a venture has been In the
back of his mind for some time.
Last year the television production
"Prelude" presented programs In
music and dance. In the spring of
1955 Mr. Davis discussed with Mr.
Casey the possibility of expanding
this idea to Include all three de-partments
of the performing arts
on campus. Their proposal was
presented to Chancellor Graham
who approved the Idea, and plans
were made to set up a program of
this nature.
It Is the contention of Mr. Davis
that it is an excellent eductlonal
experience for all the students who
work on a production of this type
in that they gain an understand-ing
of the work and complications
involved in a major network pro-duction.
Mr. Davis evaluates the
"I.mnls and Legends" series In the
following statement:
"To my knowledge, that has ever
been done In North Carolina,
and as far as I know there
has been nothing of this kind done
at any of the other fourteen edu-cational
television stations in the
country. This Is our version of a
Spectacular."
