Jane Westendorf, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Westendorf, route 2, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), has been selected for the cast of “Ruddigore” at Lawrence University in Appleton. The production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera will be directed by John Koopman, assistant professor of music.

“Ruddigore” is a saga of ghosts and bad baronets. Its pervading theme is the satire of British nobility and of their place in British society. Written in 1877, the opera satirizes the hypocrisy of current etiquette and of ideas on love.

Miss Westendorf will play the role of a professional bridesmaid. She is also a member of the Concert Choir.
