Bl2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 2, 1991 Terrace Little Theatre | seeks cast and crew for — Nei! Simon production Auditions start Monday Contributed by Ken Morton After the very successful extended run of the play "Sinners", the Terrace Little Theatre is planning its next production for. March, if cast and crew can be recruited by early January. The theatre group plans to take the audience on a trip to Brighton Beach, New York, in 1937, to look at a few days in the life of Eugene Jerome. This drama-comedy is largely autobiographical and gives us an insight into the early life of Nei! Simon. Simon is an extremely popular television, movie and theatre writer with many successful comedies to his credit. The hero of this play is 15 years old. He wrestles with the usual problems of a teenager, thoughts about girls, playing ball, unravelling the mysteries of sex, dealing with parental ambitions for academic success, and family . iliness. It proves once again that the problems of adolescence are unchanging. The set for this play is very challenging as it requires a *cut- away’ cross-section of a house. To preserve the continuity of the action in the play, it is essential that there be. visible access by the actors to the bedrooms from the living room.

Barren Revenge by John Penn Adult fiction published by Doubleday Detective-Superintendent George Thorne of the Thames Valley Police is called in to investigate the murder of Judge Sir Leo Far- ling’s houseman in his Cotswold mansion, Thorne’s investigation reveals a series of seemingly unrelated petty crimes, including the poisoning of Sir Leo’s dog, that makes him wender if perhaps Sir Leo was the intended target all along. Equally mysterious is the strange disappearance of Thorne’s wife, a crossword puzzle constructor. All the evidence suggests his wife has run off with another man, but Thorne is far from convinced; it’s simply out of character for Miranda to do something like this. And besides, theirs has been a happy mar- riage. Although no one will believe him, Thorne goes on the assump- tion that Miranda has indeed been kidnapped, But why? And by whom? His subsequent investigation into both cases soon leads him into the all too familiar underworld of thieves and muggers and con men. Then a mistake in a crossword puzzle suggests that not only are the two cases tied together, but that Miranda may be in mor- tal danger. Northwest Arts and Entertainment Calendar R.E.M.
