Baby Jane?
Stage Center answers question with ‘Baby Jane’ perfon
nv nDiAM ci civil run **'—**—‘‘‘** — —— J
BY BRIAN FLEMING
The Battalion
H enry Farrell’s 1962 film What Ever Hap
pened to Baby Jane has long since
found its place among American clas
sics. It is the story of Jane Hudson, a forgot
ten child star, her struggle with her invalid sis
ter and her loss of sanity.
For 37 years, Baby Jane has been known to
critics and fans alike as a horrifying psychologi
cal drama with an almost cult-like following.
After the film’s release, this “summer-camp
thriller,” as it has been called, quickly found its
way to the performance hall in a theatrical adap
tation by Jimmy Schooley.
Stage Center, in downtown Bryan, during the
dark season of Halloween, will feature the classic
tonight through Saturday night under the direc
tion of Christopher Westling.
Westling, who has been involved in numerous
productions at Stage Center, said the production
lives up to its classic movie status.
“It is just a frightening and scary play,” West
ling said.
Baby Jane explores a wide array of themes
ranging from family disputes to the dark under
belly of man’s nature.
TVacy Johnson, playing Elliot McDowell, said
the idea of sibling rivalry is still present.
“It is an interesting study on the two sis
ters,” Johnson said. “How they deal with each
other, how they communicate with each oth
er, and how they deal with each others’ suc
cesses and failures."
Suzanne May, playing Minnie Gordon, said an
other theme of this play is the interplay of emo
tions between people.
“It is an interesting look into blame, guilt and
responsibility,” May said.
Joshua Campbell, playing Edwin Flagg, said
the play portrays darker emotions.
“It truly shows the dark side of human emo
tion and contains a lot of dark humor, as well.”
Leah Fletcher, who stars as Jane Hudson, said
Stage Center features a play coinciding with Hal
loween each year. Baby Jane, she said, is similar
to productions of years past,
“Last year, for example, we did Frankenstein,"
Fletcher said. “This play does the same in cap
turing that sort of desperate feeling.”
The desperate atmosphere comes courtesy of
one character’s descent into madness.
“Jane Hudson basically loses her mind,”
Fletcher said. “Her grasp on reality is very tenu
ous, and it gradually slips away.”

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, once only
a classic movie, makes a smooth transition to
stage.
“In the film, there are a lot of outside scenes
we can not do here in the theater, but there real
ly is nothing anyone is going to miss.”
Westling said the progression to stage com
plements the Film.
“This adaptation is very true to the mood and
theme of the movie,” Westling said. “It is not the
movie and we did not carbon copy it, but I feel it
still carries the same weight as the original.”
Westling said Baby Jane on stage does justice
to the original actresses, as well.
“The movie originally featured Joan Crawford
and Bettie Davis,” Westling said. “This produc
tion, 1 feel, pays tribute to those great actresses. ”
Cathy McWhorter, president of Stage Center,
said Stage Center tries to put on a wide variety of
productions.
“We try comedies, and we try drama,”
McWhorter said. “We don’t always do a show
that is necessarily safe, either.”
McWhorter said Baby Jane is not one of
those “safe” performance.
“There is manipulation, violence and hate,”
McWhorter said. “When youseeit.p
initely understand.”
Westling said directing BabyJai
new plateau in his involvement with
of theater.
“I have been on stage a total of twot
years here at Stage Center involved innea
process of (theatrical) production,’’ifet
“For me, this is a logical progression."
Westling said directing Baby Janet

“It is a lot of hard work," Westlings
the reward of seeing these actors tuman
act out something I originally envisioret!
head is very cool.”
For any director, another true resif

“We have worked very hard ton*
great production,” Westling said. Despi
the work, I think we will have a very deal
