Show 4T r 4 1 S : 5C On Stage At BYU THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, May 8, 1986 i Yankees Go To Bat For Romance PROVO. Three strikes and youre out is the reality of baseball, but it may be possible to swing at a few more balls in life if a new play premiering at Brigham Young University in May is any indication. The comedy-dram- a Romance and the New York Yankees will open today (Thursday) at 8 p.m. in the Pardoe Drama Theatre at the Harris Fine Arts Center. For the premiere of Romance, the New York Yankees ball club has donated 140 baseball caps. Ten will be given at each performance to the first 10 people who come through the theaters doors. Rather than focusing on baseball, however, the play traces the lives of a young couple and demonstrates that without sufficient trust, communication and understanding it becomes easy to miss the pitches people throw at each other. Romance is written by L. Susan W. Lewis, candidate for a doctorate in playwriting, and directed by Susan McMurray. The play combines pathos and humor, and the humor is written to evolve from the situation rather - than West Valley, Whitmore one-liner- s. COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS.

The problems with the characters are not always so evident because sometimes they are small night and after their divorce is final. It isnt until they meet again in an auto service repair waiting room that they finally take the chance to expose their feelings to each other. While the play doesnt give a lot of pat answers, it does show that if a relationship is worth keeping, it is necessary to lose yourself in the relationship so that the self is less important than the relationship, I like the play says McMurray. because it is about intelligent people. They are good people; they just have little flaws. The play also has two imaginary problems. I believe what is meant in the play is that any enduring relationship has to be one of trust. You can be honest with another person and trust that love. We need to realize such openness makes a person vulnerable to hurt, but it is better to trust love than make relationships guessing games. In the production, two characters, Lynn and Greg, meet at a teenagers Valentines Day dance.

Set before World War I in June, 1913 when riverboats sailed up the Hudson River to honeymoon inns, Very Good Eddie is a tale of two newlywed couples who are accidently and innocently separated on the pier of the Hudson River Daylme. Georgiana Kettle (the pushy mates) miss the boat, their timid counterparts, Eddie Kettle and Elsie Darling, sail together down the river and pretend to be married for the sake of appearances.

Skidmore, chief Wesley Skip taxidermist for the museum and director of the exhibit, said 244 mounted animal specimens will fill the entire main level of the building.
