The cast is comprised of SLAC veterans Gene Pack "Incorruptible." Tony Larimer "The Ride Down Mount Morgan." Kristin Kahle "The Joy of Going Somewhere Definite," Joe Pitti "Goodnight Desdemona." Jim Pitts "Saturday's Voyeur 2(XXI" and Melissa Gessel "Saturday's Voyeur 2(100." "Hysteria" is a fascinating hybrid of theatrical elements; part farcical comedy, part psychological mystery play. The play unfolds in IW as Sigmund teud (Gene Pack), has reluctantly moved to the quiet London suburb of Hampstead to escape the Nazi's growing power in Austria. He hopes to spend his last days in peace, but fate has other plans for him. Into his house bursts Jessica ( Kristin Kahle). a young woman soaked with rain and frantic to see him. This is just the fust note in the symphony of comic and dramatic dra-matic chaos that follows. A highly eccentric (to say the least) Salvador Dah (joe Pitti) soon appears as the young lady ends up naked in the living room closet. Freud's physician. Dr. Yahuda (Tony Larimer), arrives on the scene and certainly wont understand under-stand this naked woman's pres ence. Freud is forced to run interference. inter-ference. Mistaken identity, explosions explo-sions of Dah's surrealistic visions and Freud's fever di earns (Jim Pitts and Melissa Gessel as Figments), a doctor who vehemently vehe-mently opposes Freud's latest writing writ-ing (the earth-shattering assertion that Moses was not a Jew. but an Egyptian aristocrat') and a young woman insistent that Freud revisit one of his most famous and difficult diffi-cult cases make for a lively challenge chal-lenge as the poor peace-seeking winch is a great tie in to our goal of encouraging more families to visit their neighborhood library." A study by the University of Kansas reports that television can leach children basic reading skills. Results indicate that kindergarten students who watched Between the Lions outperKmed those who did not watch the program by nearly ; four to one based on measur es of specific program content, such as letter-sound correspondence and concepts of print.
