showed three strong en-
tries for the drama sec-

due to the fact that the

Council
report

The building inspec-
tor’s report issued to
Terrace council at the
April 14 meeting  in-
dicates a four-fold in-
crease in the value of
building permits for the
month of March over the
same period last year.

In March, 1985,
$160,310 worth of con-
struction was done under
municipal building per-
mits: for March, 1986,
the value of work was
$629,100. Permits were
issued for the construc-
tion of an auto body

store, a new restaurant at

repairs and various

performances. The play

Sherman Snukal’s
‘Perfect Plastic” is not
a strong script, but it
gained stature from Lisa

Act three of Jack
Heifner’s ‘‘Vanities’’,
directed by Lorna Mor-
ton, is the longest and, in
many ways, the most im-
pressive of the three
pieces on. the program.
The setting is a reunion
of three women who
were friends in high
school, meeting after

several years of con-
tending with the real
world, The characteriza-
tions are clear and well-

developed and the script-. | :

ing is realistic and un-
pretentious, and in
places abrasive and
brutal. Kelli Berrisford is
appealingly tough. and
brassy as Mary, Jennifer
Coy provided elements
of moderation and in-
trospection in the role of
Kathy, and Gloria
Nichols is particularly
convincing as Joanne,
the only member of the
trio who settled for the

conservative lifestyle of -

mother and housewife.
Additonal credit
should be given to the
technical crew for these
productions, who are:
Jack Hundial, Ian Ar-

Smith, Susan Mehs,
Tony Ruksys, Margaret
Dodd and Robin
MacLeod.

The impression which
stands out above all
others after viewing
these plays is one of
dedication and commit-
ment on the part of
everyone involved. The
members of the Terrace
Little Theatre Society
seem to care deeply
about the essential art of
drama, and a significant
placing in the festival
zone competition is the
very least they deserve in
the way of recognition.
