WHITEWATER -- At first glance, just as you enter the
stage under the soft lights in Barnett Theatre, he looks like the work
of a superb makeup artist.But wait. As you edge closer you notice that the gray whiskers curling around his mouth and chin are not attached, but growing. He's no regular college student, but a middle-aged man, the only one in a group of 18 to 22-year-olds scurrying about in a last desperate attempt to memorize their lines.
He's sitting down, waiting patiently, because his lines are already printed indelibly on his brain. But he's willing to wait, and to help. He knows that his maturity is good for more than growing gray whiskers. It also help when the time comes to organize a schedule, to fit in a few minutes each day so the lines are down when the first rehearsal begins.
His name if Paul Breitsprecher, and he's been appearing in plays at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for almost as long as some of his fellow actors have been around. Right now, it's "Major Barbara," schedules to run Dec. 1-6.
But this is Paul's 19th Play at UW-Whitewater, going all the way back to 1966. Before that, there was a wealth of experience doing community theatre, from Arlington Heights, IL., to Fort Atkinson, Wis., where he played in "My Three Angels" and directed and acted in "Arms and the Man."
