"The play's the thing" is a byword in theatrical' Jargon, and oftlmes an over-used expreaalon; however, the pitch of excite¬ ment In producing a play is Intensified during the last feverish week of getting ready for the play.
The-maddening pace goes even taster — rehearsals stretch into the wee hours of tho morning—tired actors and actresses repeat what to them 'seem like even more tired lines over and over again; coffee breaks and hastily smoked cigarettes arc treasured moments of relaxation for the cast and crews—so much to do and so little time in Which to do It. Yet, on opening night, when lights arc dimmed and the audiences sink back into tholr chairs, the loose ends have all been neatly tied and the play Is ready to begin. A polished,performance la given by well trained performers;
Yet, the success of the play doea not depend entirely upoi;;.acting,   skill . lUone.
