Dance Drama Company
At Clark College Tonight

Another distinguished event in Clark College's 10-year-old All-Star Concert Series will be staged tonight with the presentation of The Dance Drama Company in Davage Auditorium at 8 p.m.

The program unusually varied in costumes, content and production, will be meaningful to all ages. The group will present a repertory created especially for the company by Antoinette, Chicago choreographer.

It will begin with a five-dance sequence, one of the classical ballets with music of Tchaikovsky, and a solo danced by Frankel, director of the company.

The third dance, West Side Story, a New York City teenage gang, will provide great contrast and show the versatility of the performers. Haunted Moments, the fourth dance, will be a humorous and horrible fantasy of people and sounds in a creation by Miss Frankel and Mary Ryder.

The evening's program will conclude with "Still Point," choreographed by Todd Bolender, to the music of Debussy.

General admission to the program is $1.00, and students admission is fifty cents.
