Boyd to Appear at G. C.
Boyd
Rev. Malcolm Boyd, the Episcopal priest described as "a rebel
who wears a clerical collar," will
appear on the 1969-70 Concert-
Lecture Series at Greensboro College announced by Dr. Camilla
Hoy, chairman of the series.
The unorthodox clergyman,
author of "Are You Running With
Me, Jesus?", will conclude the GC
Concert-Lecture Series with a talk
in Odell Memorial Auditorium at
the College the evening of March
23. His lecture is expected to deal
with his theological views and
experiences in the civil rights movement and with audiences in such
unusual places as night clubs, discotheques and beer joints.
Boyd's background includes work
with an advertising agency in
Hollywood and affiliation with
Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers
in a production company. He was
the first president of the Television Producers Association of Hollywood. A promising light in the film
industry, Boyd created a Hollywood furor in 1951 by entering an
Episcopal seminary in Berkeley,
California.
While chaplain at Colorado
State University, Boyd conducted
religious "expresso nights" at local
coffeehouses and beer joints and
was eventually forced to resign.
He was subsequently a controversial figure on the campus of Wayne
State University in Detroit with his
bull sessions and experiment with
cabaret theater. He has served as
a rector of a slum church in Indianapolis and as white assistant
priest in black parishes in Detroit
and Washington. At present, he is
a fellow at Yale.
Everyman Players
Second event of the concert/
lecture series will be Everyman
Players' presentation of "Book of
Job" the evening of January 7.
This is a unique dramatic production featured at two world's
fairs, in which the actors appear as
living mosaic figures, gleaming in
brilliant costumes of red and gold,
blue and purple. The play has enjoyed two New York runs, three
international tours and is now on
its third national tour. It is presented each summer at Pine Mountain
State Park Amphitheater in Pine-
ville, Ky.
Almeida
Laurindo Almeida, famed Brazilian classical and jazz guitarist,
will give the third program of the
Concert-Lecture series in Odell
Auditorium the evening of March
2. He came to the United States in
1947 and joined the Stan Kenton
Orchestra, and by the end of the
year was at the top of the nation's
jazz polls where he remains. However, as a concert artist, Almeida
is a master performer of Bach and
other great classical composers. In
recent years, his classical, jazz and
popular recordings have won a
number of Grammy Awards. Last
year, he released the premier recording of the Villa-Lobos Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra.
