GUEST ARTIST ROBERT FORSTER, star of stage, television and screen was attending the University of Rochester os o psychology major when he decided to try theatre, just to see if he could do it.

"Things happen like that," Forster recalls, snapping hi s fingers. "That•s how they hove to
happen. " The offer was for o maj or role in Reflections in a Golden eye with Elizabeth T,ay lor and Morion Brando.

DIRECTOR'S CORNER The growth proceS$ has much to do with toking a responsibility and with solving the prob lems which that responsibility offers. Mistake making is on integral (ond often maligned) port of thot process. I om wel l acquainted with mistakes (having mode during my career just about every one I could think of) and only by making them con one surmise and speculate upon the truth, discover the full limits of the issues, and coordinate a strategy fo.,. success - in this case to render clearly and faithful ly the ploy. You con imagine then my gratitude for the creative space and rC!tsponsibilities allowed mo here by Doc, for the solid and stimulating support from Fred Thayer, the entire crew - ond especially the actors whose creative lives are being formed ond influenced here ot Otterbein. To them, my sincere thanks for thei r trust and for the responsibi l ities token on by each member of th is company which hove al lowed us all to grow.
Robert Forster
NOTE The Otterbein College Theatre faculty and studen ts wou ld l ike to express publicly appreciation to Bob for sharing his time, talent and considerable expertise during the post three weeks. His previous work wi th the ploy made it possi ble for him to function on both sides of the curtain - as director and actor. Assumption of directorial responsibil ity, from costing through the bulk of the rehearsa ls, and then the switch to actor responsibil ity in the role of McMurphy is on extremely demanding cha ll enge which Bob hos thorough ly enjoyed. We ore delighted wi th the double role because it offered students on opportunity to learn and develop through their ex:posure to o profos.. siono l director and actor. Throughout the reheorsol period Bob hos constant ly challenged stude-lts to attempt new things while a lso positively reinforci ng their efforts. His great interest and joy in people and in his work has enriched all our li ves - we ore delighted that he wonted to return to campus and hope tha t his experience has been as rewording for him as it ho s for us. Thanks Bob!
