Drama, Speakers, Film, Man-of-the-Year, Art, Literature, Sports, Music-Springtime!

How does fame, fortune, and a Hollywood career grab you ? Cold you dig a leading role in 3 Lives For Mississippi -a film about the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers-which is soon to be cast in the Quincy House guest suite by Downhill Racer maker Michael Ritchie? Or perhaps you just enjoy guerrilla theatre, mind-expansion through participation art, poetry reading, films, tales of liberation, dram symposiums, cowardly lions, music, or sports.

Next week, the Quincy House Arts Festival opens its eleventh season with a two-week series of performances and lectures in the lively arts. The program-which has been designed to appeal to a broad range of student tastes-represents a juxtaposition of conventional and more revolutionary stylistic forms, as well as an unusually broad scope in its aesthetic definition. Film-lovers will be attracted to hear Quincy House Man-of-the-Year, Arthur Penn-now famous for his innovative direction of Bonnie and Clyde, as well as his heralded Broadway accomplishments-and those interested in the more technical aspects of the cinematographic craft will enjoy Michael Ritchie's presentation, as will the starryeyed hopefuls who will undoubtedly be camped upon his doorstep.

The political radicalism of the Pageant Players, a guerrilla theatre company that performs in the streets of New York City, will appeal to large part of the Harvard population regardless of their dramatic interest-for the troupe has pioneered a new mode of theatrical presentation-while those more closely attuned to the proscenium stage may enjoy the opportunity to hear playwrights Charles Gordone (No Place To Be Somebody), Arthur Kopit (Indians), and Lillian Hellman (Toys in the Attic), or Village Voice Drama Critic John Lahr discuss their work.

Artist Franz Walther will teach adventurous spectators to use his object instruments in space to further self-exploration, and there remains a possibility that environmentalist James Rosenquist will appear to experiment with the psycho-visual-atmosphere. Poetry and prose will be considered on separate evenings by such widely divergent figures as poet-critic-author-cultural hero Stephen Spender (The Year of the Young Rebels), and that flamboyant sports-caster of CBS television-Heywood Hale Broun. The Arts Festival will also feature piano recitals by Joseph Block and Armenta Adams, and will conclude its final weekend with a Quincy House production of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, directed by David Richman.
