Is there talent in P.C.? Once again the loyal airmen of KPCW's Volunteer Air Force are scouring the streets, inspecting the nooks, and beating the bushes for talent. The occasion is the station's second annual talent show, set for Tuesday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Egyptian Theatre. Acts will compete for a top prize of $150. Remember, a talent in the hand, is worth two in the bush. However, what you find under a bush isn't always magnificent! The show has three categories song, instrumental and variety. Since it will not be broadcast live this year, the possibilities also include dancing, mime, magic and other such stuff that doesn't play well on radio. ("As you can see, the box is completely empty!") em-pty!") The only requirement is that the participants cannot rely on their act for their livelihood. (If they did, they might be starving! ) Talent program director Glen Steigmeyer said applications ap-plications are still being accepted at the station, but time is running short. "1 want that talent," Steigmeyer has heard shouting to his cadre of scouts and flying monkeys. "Somebody out there has those ruby slippers!" slip-pers!" He told the Park City Newspaper that he will pull out all the stops to find talent for the show. Like last year's show, guest celebrities will be making appearances. The show will again be hosted by Michael "Top 40" Phillips and "Randy" Rasmussen. The judges will be Principal Brian Schiller, cookie-maker cookie-maker Debbie Fields, Mayor Jack Green, and local entertainers en-tertainers Kat and Mickey. "Sure, it's a tough line-up," said Steigmeyer. "But nobody said it would easy nailing that top prize. After all, that was supposed to be my bonus." The overall winner gets the $150. The top act in each category also gets $50, and prizes will be given to a runner-up in each category. Animal acts will be allowed only if they're tasteful and you promise to clean up after them yourselves. Director of 'Brodie' is familiar with classrooms by Rick Brough You could be forgiven for thinking that Scott Zogg's specialty is directing plays about eccentric teachers. Recently he guided Nancy Borgenicht through the porr trayal of a bawdy, bullying sexually-frustrated teacher in "Miss Margarida's Way" for the Salt Lake Acting Company. This Friday, Zogg will open at the Egyptian with "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," featuring Barbara Smith as a teacher of extraordinary gifts and arrogance. (Rest assured, he has directed other plays. In the spring of 1981, Zogg and the Fantasy Acting Company played at the Egyptian with "Feiffer's People.") There is a certain similarity between the two teachers, Zogg noted. Both plays have comic elements, but are ultimately sad. Both women are not mentally well. He said, "'Margarida' is much more an absurdist play. She's far more blatantly blatant-ly crazy." Jean Brodie is a gentler character, he said. But an ongoing process reveals the desolation of her character. "The other people in the play come to see she's not a well woman." One definite similarity, he said, is that Borgenicht and Smith are both very good actresses. ac-tresses. The play, he said, shows people who aren't taking options op-tions in their lives. They are held by illusions and Brodie, most of all, is tied to them. When the young girls of the play first meet Brodie, he said, they find a precocious, but utterly exciting and stimulating personality. She's much more appealing than the other stodgy teachers around them . But Brodie's charm conceals con-ceals a penchant for manipulation. "She plans the lives of her students like little dolls," said Zogg. The students appear first as 11-year-olds then are played by another group of actresses as 16-year-olds. Her favorite is Jenny ( played first by Jaia Ver-noff, Ver-noff, then by Liz Nesi). Brodie labels her as the beauty of the group and predicts a great romance for her. The teacher's infatuation in-fatuation with Mussolini's fascism leads another student, Mary, (Kelly Pur-dom, Pur-dom, Michelle Harding) to a sad end. She's less interested in Sandy (Gena Glenne and Amy Finegan). Then there's Monica, played by Kaili Vernoff and Pam Finegan. A cast of well-known Park City names fill out the play. Teri Gomes, who has long worked behind the scenes at the Egyptian, steps out on stage for the first time as Miss McKay, the puritanical headmistress, (and Brodie's arch-foe). Dick Mitchell, as the teacher Lowther, supplies sup-plies comic relief as he carries on an affair with Brodie. And Steve Stanczyk is the art teacher, Lloyd, who loves Jean almost to the point of obsession. The play also has a framing device. A convent nun (Val Thurnell) with some mysterious connection to Brodie recalls her story for a visiting publisher (Van Martin). Zogg said that, overall, he's been quite thrilled with the performances of his lead players. "The actors are called upon to display a whole spectrum of emotions," he said. Zogg, a native Utahn, has studied with the Guild Hall School of Music and Drama in London, and, he said, has acted with just about every theater company in Salt Lake including the Human Ensemble and the New Shakespeare Company. His most memorable recent role, he said, was in Theater 138's "A Thousand Clowns" as Leo Herman also known in the play as Chuckles the Chipmunk. He's looking forward to playing in a new production from the Salt Lake Acting Company. The play is "Mulebones," by Al Brown, the local writer who produced "Back to Back." "I worked on it at the Sundance Sun-dance Theater Festival," he said. "I play an old drunken wino." Meanwhile, Zogg is preparing his cast for this Friday's opening night, as he maneuvers rehearsal sessions around snowstorms and individual flu attacks. "The play has been a real challenge. It's complex both technically and emotionally," he said. "This is a play that has to be thought about. It concerns confusion, loyalty and honesty, and the need to be charitable in our honesty.

(Skaggs has won past sandwiches sand-wiches in partnership with Allen Titensor.) Chris knew that Arlo Guthrie's awful crime in the song "Alice's Restaurant" was that he littered. lit-tered. (This criminal record, you see, later helped Arlo get out of the draft.) She also knew that Geraldine Jones' boyfriend was named Killer, and that last week's trivia winner was Chris Skaggs!
