Memory Lane: March 1, 1962

Posted

From the March 1, 1962 edition of The Wayne Herald:

Final showing of play tonight

One of the top-ranking plays currently on the American stage will have its third and last showing tonight (Thursday) at Wayne State's auditorium. Curtain time is 8 p.m.

The play, "J. B.," recalls the Biblical story of Job's afflictions in
terms of a modern business man and his family. The family is pictured in an unusual setting, which includes a platform in front of the stage.

Phil Hauser plays the title role; Elaine Lamphear, his wife. There are two other main characters, Mr. Nickles, played by John Soulliere, and Mr. Zuzz, played by Bill Mongan.
