More than just genius Metzger as Einstein fEinstein' to appear at Egyptian "Albert Einstein: The Practical Bohemian," will be presented at the Egyptian Theatre next Saturday, Jan. 16 at 8 p.m. The title of the show comes from Einstein's description of himself, which actor Ed Metzger discovered while researching the man. "Practical because we are all slaves to millions of things radios, refrigerators, refrigera-tors, automobiles and bo-hemian bo-hemian because I reduce things to the absolute minimum," mini-mum," Einstein wrote. "Long hair minimizes the need for a barber. A nightshirt night-shirt and pajamas are needless need-less if you have bedcovers. And when you wear shoes, socks can be done without. They only produce holes." The one-man show, which has received national critical criti-cal acclaim, shows many sides of Einstein not found in most textbooks. The show was written and researched by Metzger and his wife, Laya Gelff, who serves also as producer and director. The reason for the play, says Metzger, is to show there was more to Einstein than just the scientist. "Ke was a troubled father, a lover, a humorist, a teacher and a pacifist." "Einstein" will be performed per-formed only once, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $4.50 for members mem-bers of Park City Performances Perform-ances and $6.50 for nonmem-bers. nonmem-bers.

Local writer Mike Hamill penned his work "Mr. Bo-jangles" Bo-jangles" last fall. Both one-act plays will be presented present-ed together this week, in a novel combination of the classical and the untried. The Intermountain Actors Ensemble hosts the show on Jan. 7, 8, and 9 in the Main Gallery of the Kimball Art Center. "Mr. Bojangles", as you may have guessed, takes off from the song first popularized popular-ized by composer Jerry Jeff Walker and the Dirt Band. The play is about three men in a jail cell, but it reaches out to their memories in time and space. Playwright Hamill told The Newspaper about the three vagabonds, thrown in the slammer for drinking. Bojangles (played by Lloyd Stevens) is an old dancing drifter with a touch of senility who knows deep down inside that he's going to die in his cell. His two regrets in life are that he never settled down with the girl he met and loved 30 years ago, and that his dog died. But he consoles himself by remembering the girl's smile, her eyes and her hair; and by recalling that his dog died in the middle of a sex dream, with a grin on its face. One of Bojangles' cellmates cell-mates (Jeff Adams is cast in the fole) understands his feelings. He is also an old wanderer, who has played many a county fair and gathering with Bojangles. But the third man, a younger guitar-picker named "Along 'n Free" (Van Martin) is a little alienated from all this. He's a rover, too, but from another generation, and he avoids the gregarious Bojangles. Bo-jangles. It is only towards the end of the play that he (and the audience) understand under-stand his strong kinship to the older man. Hamill said "Mr. Bojangles" Bo-jangles" had been his favorite fa-vorite song for many years. Last November, he said, he felt so moved by hearing the song one day that he plunged into a one-act play built around it. "I didn't know what I was going to do with it," he said. One challenge in the production pro-duction is to present Van Martin as a much younger man than Stevens. "We're going to use old-age makeup on Lloyd," said Hamill, "and Van will shave off his moustache." The one-act will be directed direct-ed by Ron Burnett The companion piece, "Zoo Story", is an early work by Edward Albee. Unlike "Bojangles" we don't see two men coming closer together. We get exactly the opposite a psychic head-on collision. A man sitting on a park bench (Bob Eccles) has his place challenged by a passer-by (Tony Ligare) and the resulting explosion, said Ron Burnett, was one of the first American stabs at theater of the absurd, a movement fostered by Europeans Euro-peans like Samuel Beckett. A production staged by Hollywood actor Logan Field has toured Utah. Field appeared as the shiftless sheriff Wally Malone in "Incident at Crestridge.") After talking with Burnett, he restyled the one-actor for the Art Center. Ligare has toured with the play, and along with co-star Eccles, is a member of the Salt Lake Acting Company.
