Appling's philosophy of her work includes a belief that color has power; it tells us things without knowing.

Phone 649-8211 Park City-s Only Italian Restaurant-Since 1973 Actor turned director prepares 'Barefoot' cast How does a seasoned actor ac-tor view his first experience as a director? "Very frightening" says Richard Scott. "Very intimidating and very frightening. " Richard Scott is making his directing debut with Park City Performances upcoming up-coming production of Barefoot in the Park. Barefoot opens next Friday night, Feb. 12 and Scott feels the cast will be ready. "I know the actor in me will want to be backstage with the cast but as the director I will sit out front to watch. That part wil1 hard." Scott claims the casting of the show was an intimidating in-timidating process. "Park City has a wealth of talented actors to choose from and deciding who should play what part was difficult. I got lucky and have good people in the right parts. Overall the entire process has been extremely exciting." In preparation for the show, Scott took the cast to Salt Lake City last Friday for a bit of Greek culture. There is a scene in Barefoot where four of the principal characters go to the Greek restaurant and have a marvelous mar-velous time. Scott thought it would be helpful for the cast to get a sense of the ethnic feeling the characters would experience. The trip was a hit. Pat Whitfield (who plays the mother in Barefoot) was a tremendous hit with all the Greek men," Scott said. "I myself was tipped six dollars for dancing on the tables so well. And, of course, everyone got a good taste of Ouzo." Scott feels the key to directing direct-ing is communicating, a difficult dif-ficult process in everyday life for many. "I think as a director you need to believe you can make other people believe, and you need to carefully communicate that to the actors. My problem, in this first-time directing experience ex-perience is, when I talk for twenty minutes and can't seem to communicate what I want someone to do, I just get up and act it out for them. Fortunately, I have a very patient and understanding understan-ding cast." Barefoot opens next Friday night Feb. 12 with Craig Bergquist and Katherine Haley in the lead roles, and Pat Whitfield and Jere Calmes in supporting roles. Bit parts are played by Glenn Artist and Fred Hightower. Ticket prices are $4 for members of Park City Performances and $6 for non-members.
