Title
Article "'Arena' Presentation Effective in 'John Loves Mary' Staging"
Subject
Description
Edith Lindeman reviewed department chair and theater reviewer for the Richmond News Leader Alton Williams' production of "John Loves Mary" at University of Richmond in March of 1949. The domestic comedy follows war vet John Lawrence as he returns to the U.S. and Mary, his true love—but he has a bride in tow. She highlighted the significance of the innovative arena-style staging of the show, which arranged the audience seating on all four sides of the stage area in a smaller classroom rather than a theater, and she discussed its effectiveness for audiences.
