All those favorite characters from Highway 57 are returning to the Egyptian Theatre to help audiences kick back and enjoy the toe-tapping, knee-slapping, knee-slapping, sweet country songs that have made this musical PCP's most requested show, year after year. Pump Boys and Dinettes began as a late-night supper club act, moving on to Broadway where the show was awarded a Tony nomination for "Best Musical of 1982," as well as four Drama Desk Award nominations, including "Outstanding Musical for 1981-82." 1981-82." The six creators of Pump Boys are themselves much like the Pump Boys and Dinettes in the show, which may explain why every one-liner one-liner delivered and note sung rings so true with the audience. With very little dialogue and no plot, the show's draw becomes these rich, multi-faceted characters who charm their way into your hearts with comedy, pathos and of course down-home down-home country music. In less than 90 minutes, the audience feels a kinship with these six people who live along the highway "Just outside Frog Level, down the road from Smyrna."

Sundance Film Festival announces winners The dramatic feature, What Happened Was, and the documentary, Freedom on My Mind, were named winners of the Grand Jury Prizes in the Independent Film Competition at the 16th annual Sundance Film Festival Jan. 29. What Happened Was also won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. The Audience Awards at this. festival, which is now recognized as a showcase for American independent cinema, went to the documentary, Hoop Dreams, and the drama, Spanking the Monkey. Clerks and Fresh split the dramatic division Filmmakers Trophy, while Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey received the Filmmakers Trophy for best documentary. The Grand Jury Prizes are the major awards in the Independent Film Competition, which was sponsored this year by Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz of North America. The dramatic jury, composed of independent writersdirectors Allison Anders and Maggie Greenwald, Native American actress Tantoo Cardinal, saeen writerdirector Neal Jimenez and actordirector Matthew Modine, ( Says v:irCross-Llte9 Every Christain is a missionary.

The film, which was first developed as a play by Noonan for himself and actress Karen Sillas and then adapted for the screen, follows the course of one of America's oldest, but perhaps still most primitive rituals: the date. When a legal secretary invites a paralegal cp-workettQ her place for dinner, the evening doesn't exactly go the way either of them expected. There are moments of discomfort, communication, vulnerability, intimacy and alienation, in short a dynamic which should be familiar to every member of the audience. Noonan and Sillas inhabit their roles with accomplished ease. The film was produced by Robin O'Hara and Scott Macauley. Freedom on My Mind, directed and produced by Connie Field and Marilyn Mulford, was selected as the best documentary of the year by the documentary jury, made up of Academy Award-winning documentarian Bill Couturie, independent filmmakers Barbara Hammer and Chris Hegedus, writereditorteacher Betsy McLane and independent writerdirector Marco Williams. Freedom on My Mind is an inspired and inspiring chronicle of the Civil Rights movement in Mississippi during the tumultuous years of the early sixties, especially 1963 and 1964. The film combines archival footage and interviews with many of the people who worked on the voter registration campaign to show the way that blacks and whites united to defeat segregation in one of its strongest bastions. The result is a story that is both historically valid -Vjjflft!-:" 1 A J Vy i Actress Tantoo Cardinal was one of the jury members. and personally moving. The Audience Awards, determined by a tabulated raring system and sponsored by Entertainment Weekly magazine, gives festival attendees the opportunity to choose the competition films they enjoy the most Hoop Dreams was the winner of this year's documentary award. Produced by Steve James, Fred Marx and Peter Gilbert and directed by James, Hoop Dreams involves us in the lives of two young, black, Chicago basketball players, Arthur Agee and William Gates, throughout their high school years as they attempt to emulate their idol, Isaiah Thomas. But the film, seven years in the making, is more than a story of two boys growing up in poverty and dreaming of a career in the NBA. It is a testament to the dedication of families, and the role that kind of support can play in shaping children's lives, for neither of these boys exists in a vacuum. Hoop Dreams creates a tapestry that is as rich and dense as life itself. A very different type of family is at the center of writerdirector David O. Russell's Spanking the Monkey i which was the dramatic winner of this year's Audience Award. The film portrays the ingenious way Ray Aibelli, vividly played by Jeremy Davies, copes with growing up and disappointment and deals with his exasperating parents during the summer after his freshman year in college. Spanking the Monkey, which was produced by Dean Silvers, is harrowing, humorous and heartwarming.
