recently the premiere of Daniel
Barnsweill’s Room 44. in which

Marianne’s first "normal" comedy.

then, both behind the scenes and in
numerous character roles in The
Creation and Fall of Lucifer, The
Wiz, The Emperor’s New Clothes,
Curse of the Starving Class, The
Art of War and Room 44, Jim has
delighted audiences with expres-
Sive facial gestures and hilarious
voice impressions. In Sinners, he
revels in his first romantic leading
role as Peter Kramer, the amorous
furniture store owner and uphol-
Sterer.

Keith Olson makes his Terrace
Little Theatre debut as the

cuckolded husband-preacher-mur- ;

role has proved a fun challenge to

back to junior high school and
more recently, church piays.

"So long as they’re happy" in

A Graveyard for Lunatics by Ray Bradbury:
Adult fiction published by Alfred A. Knopf

Hollywood in the 1950's is a magical place for the narrator, a
young science fiction writer hired by a major studio to write a
script for a sci-fi movie about dinosaurs.

The studio, separated from a graveyard by a single stone wall,
is divided into two separate cities in the narrator’s mind — one

of the living, the other of the dead.

He is fascinated with both until he finds a note inviting him to
come to the city of the dead at midnight, where he will learn
something of great importance. What he finds is a long-dead
body poised atop the wall, seemingly in the act of fleeing the city
of the dead. ot a

The body mysteriously vanishes with the coming daylight, but
something has been set in motion. The narrator is plunged into a
bizarre mystery that seems to centre around a mysterious and
tragic accident that happened 20 years before just outside the
studio gates.

This is a masterfully written whodunit that draws you inside
the early days of Hollywood. .
