The Experimental Theater Company
will hold auditions for 10 roles in "The
Abdication" next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.
"The Abdication" is a dramatization
of the true story of Queen Christina.
who ruled Sweden from the age of 6, but
left the Protestant throne to become a
Catholic.
the Experimental Theater Company
(ETC) is producing the play, written by
New Yorker Ruth Wolff, on four nights,
November 16, 17. 18 and 19.
ETC is a smaller group housed within
CSUF's Theater Arts department. The
Arena Theater, next door to the John
Wright Theater, is its showcase.
Sandra Connolly is the director and
producer of "The Abdication,"as well as
the head of ETC.
"The difference between ETC and the
mainstage plays is that we have a smal-~
ler space, a smaller audience, a smaller
budget, and the play is seen on fewer
nights," Connollv said.
Another difference is that Connolly
and ETC welcome non-theater majors.
"1 think people have a feeling that
theater majors are very cliquey, and
they are discouraged from auditioning.
E TC isn't like that at all," Connolly
"The Experimental Theater Compay
produces two shows a year. In the fall of
1982, "Two Writers Writing."by CSUF
student Tim Ryan, debuted. That was
followed by another student's produc¬
tion. Marcel Nunez's "Frogway."
"We can take risks with a lesser
known or less popular play because we
don't need to sell the season tickets like
the mainstage productions," Connolly
said. "A play can also be more con¬
troversial. Our audience consists of
people really inlerested in theater. They
know more about it, and they don't
necessarily want to be entertained (with
a light comedy of a musical)."
"The Abdication" follows Queen
Christina to the Vatican in Rome, where
she falls in love with the cardinal who
hears her confession. Muchofthedrama
takes place within the confessional, and
part of Christina's story is told through
flashbacks.
An informational meeting is scheduled
today at 4 p.m. in the John Wright
Theater for anyone interested in getting
involved with the production. Auditions
will be held at the same place and time.
In addition to the backstage work,
there are 10 parts available. Thero are
four women's roles, including the one
that many Swedish actresses pined for—
Christina as an adult. There are also six
parts for men. Again. ETC is looking
for non-theater majors. Connolly ass-
"They think they want to work in a
mainstage play, because they can be

Some CSUF students, used to living
in the Bay Area or in Southern Califor¬
nia, might have a notion that Fresno is a
vast wasteland, with nothing to do out¬
side of watching television or playing
video games.
But such is not the case. There are
many interesting things to do in Fresno.
Granted, it's no San Francisco or Los
Angeles, but people don't usually die of
boredom in Fresno.
For starters, there is a small but
enjoyable music scene in Fresno, with
several local venues featuring live music
on weekends and throughout the week.
There is also an excellent dinner theater
in Roger Rocka's Music Hall in the
Tower District.
The Tower Theater, right across the
street from Roger Rocka's, is a first-rate
