Notes: This production was developed in conjunction with Saint Mary's College 125th anniversary celebration during 1969. It was conceived and designed especially for touring to allow travel of actors and properties in a single station wagon and the performance of the play in almost any environment. This is the second company of actors performing the play. (The first was composed of seniors who graduated in June, 1969.)
