Masked student in theatre performance

Title

Masked student in theatre performance

Description

A Pacific University student wearing a mask and a costume, while other students in the background wear red dresses and head coverings. Based on other images that show the same costumes, this was likely taken at a performance of "The Royal Hunt of the Sun," which ran at Pacific's Tom Miles Theater in February-March, 1968. The actors, who were students at Pacific University, wore costumes inspired by Mexican folk dress. The plot centered on the conquest of the Incan Empire of Peru by the Spanish conquistador Pizarro. The slide was printed in November, 1968. For another view of the same student without the mask, see PUA_PeoSlides_044.
