Our family potluck has been moved to November (date to Many made several trips and were disappointed. We printed the usual number and placed them in the box once each day for five days as usual. 2 hours teaching our players everything from mirroring, to pantomime, to observation, to reading with dramatic be set when the majority of families can meet). —Kaaron Jorgen So we ask for your help. Where are insight portions of well-known plays. A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU TO the extras going? KAKI AND DONI. Such an in-depth workshop would easily have cost us way to keep friends or family members On October lst nine of us went to Moab to see Saroyan’s Hello Out There and Thornton Wilder’s The Happy Journeyfrom Trenton to Camden. This was a wonderful experience for the players—to see the difference between live drama and the stuff they get on their video cassettes. No comparison. Doni was in both plays, and in the Happy Journey used some of the mirroring techniques he had taught our players the previous Sunday. After the show, some of the players sat on the stage and mirrored the actions they had just seen. The grand highlight of the evening was meeting with the whole cast after the show. They gave us a half hour discussion on how to be an actor, spurred on by the thoughtful questions our kids generated, such as “How do you play sadness?” “What do you do if you forget your lines?" “How do you learn an accent. ” THANK YOU, all of you involved with Tributary Theater, and our fine Moab actors. Watch for this theater company, folks, they hope to be back, performing from March to October in the future. This month Jennifer Redding will be doing a drama workshop with the middle players (age 8 to 10) at her house on Sunday, October 23rd, from 3 to 5 pm.

Some find that the Times is a good up to date on life here. We think so too, Refrig eratori": Bits There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one ofyou in all time, this expression is unique. And ifyou block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. N0 artist is pleased . . . There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than Martha Graham the others. Thanks, Laura May! It’s getting to be soup season. How about some old favorites? —Kaaron Jorgen, 259—4056 but please remember that this is an allvolunteer effort with a bone-bare budget. We do not have the funds to provide copies for folks who don't live here—even if they are property owners. Please, one copy per family. We ask that you buy that friend or relative a subscription—$12 per year just covers printing and postage. We’re not padding our prices. We’re serious when we say we couldn’t do it without our cash donors, and we invite more of you to send us a bit of geld every so often. Our advertisers continue to give us steady moral support, and they are much appreciated. We hope that when there is an opportunity you will use their products and services. There is a possibility that it is time to stop our free distribution and go to a “subscription only" practice, or that we should start collecting 50¢ per issue (our average printing cost), but we really don’t want to do that. We'd rather spend our time writing or having fun, not licking stamps and collecting money. Thanks to those ten readers who took the time to complete and return their Reader Surveys last month. We are paying attention and appreciate your ideas and feedback. If you haven’t returned your survey, we still want it. —Cris Coffey JANlE TUFT - SALES AGENT/OWNER first-rate one act plays.
