Thursday, April 15. 1982 J ImIiIL The Park City Performances Perform-ances production of "Little Foxes" features some interesting inter-esting casting. Several of Park City's best-known actors are cast against type. Lloyd Stevens and Dick Cummings, who usually play lovable characters, charac-ters, are the two money-grubbing money-grubbing Hubbard brothers. Richard Scott, who played the tough McMurphy in "Cuckoo's Nest", is the weaselly son Leo. The closest thing to typecasting type-casting here is Barbara Smith, who was the castrating castrat-ing Big Nurse in "Cuckoo's Nest", and now plays Regina Giddens, the shrewdest member of this unscrupulous family created by Lillian Hellman. "A bitch, and a bitch again," sighed Smith. But perhaps the biggest challenge fell to Steve Stan-czyk, Stan-czyk, who plays Regina 's middle-aged, deathly-ill husband hus-band Horace. The part brought up elements he had never really thought of about. "God, here'a a man more than twice my age," said Stanczyk. "He's 45, and " he looks 55." He said he chose to portray those parts of Horace that he could make credible. "I avoided things like the voice, that I knew I couldn't do really well, and would look contrived." con-trived." Horace is a good businessman, business-man, he said, who attracted Regina in his youth because she liked his potential. "As a businessman, he's done things he's not too proud of, but he's not a power-slob like the others," he said. "He considers the consequences for other people from his actions. And he's scared of the power this family would attain." Amy Finegan is closer in age and temperament to her role as Regina 's daughter. daugh-ter. "I was like her a few years ago naive. She doesn't know the ways of the world," said the articulate young actress. "I wouldn't say I'm a cynic now, but I can face reality more." In her junior year at Park Sculpture class scheduled for Kimball Art Center City High School, she is hoping to pursue her physics studies at a college in California, or perhaps back in New England where she spent her early years. But she is also avidly interested in the stage. "If I go five months without acting, I get desperate," she said. Video artist Aysha Quinn found a role as alcoholic Birdie, the Hubbard sister-in-law who suffers most through the course of the play. Birdie is the daughter of Southern aristocracy, who married into the newly-rich Hubbards after her own family went broke. Her relatives have a habit of taunting her about her fall from grace. Life out-matched art in this case. Quinn recently survived a bad viral infection. infec-tion. It started she said, with a case of flu that led to a "screaming earache". "For a week I was just out on my bed on penicillin and antibiotics," she said. "Then they switched me to penicillin penicil-lin and sulfa. And it got worse." Her left ear "closed up", she said. Her teeth hurt to the point where she couldn't click them together. Her gums turned purple. "It's gone down now. I'm all right," she said, before going back to rehearsals to play the long-suffering Southern belle. "Little Foxes" will play on April 16-17, 22-24, 29-30, and May 1. Tickets are $4.50 for members of Park City Performances, Per-formances, and $6 general admission. Curtain is at 8 p.m., with a reception on opening night. For further information, call 649-9371.
