Sets have been designed by guest technical adviser Wil~ liam Sherman of Bennington College“ Sherman has also su- pervised lighting and costumes. The music for this presentation of “Tidings Brought to Mary" is the product of James Yan» natos (music).

Donehoe admonished, “What happens is not what the play is about. in a sense ityis an Easter play set at Christmas- tide; it is one long metaphor. “The‘play can easily slip into a pageant; but if it does, we will have failed, This play more than anything must be about real people who have hands and feel, and entrails." The play was chosen in part because of its relevance to the times. Donahoe said, “Anyone may become a martyr when times get rougherr” Performances will be given February 22 and 23 in Roberts Theatre.
