THE DRAMATIC WORKSHOP The month of May brought about the organization of a new department within the Dramatic Workshop called the Arena Theater Group. This tyM of theater, also known as Theater in the Round, is similar to the theater of Shakespeare's day. The audience surrounds the stage, in t] way acnieving the feeling of being included in the action. TV Directi Albert McCleery urged the group on by delivering a lecture on the Are Theater. It is very similar to television inasmuch as the actors are surrounded by the audience in Arena Theater as they are by cameras in The at er-in-t he-Round has been adopted in'lieu of television due t« the scarcity of television facilities. The group is currently workin( on a well-known two act comedy which will soon be ready for present atj The dramatic workshop invites all NBC employees interested in dra atic work to join their group.
