Show Orem-Geneva Times- -Wednesday, May 7, 1986 f ; i A , St Mary Hosford and Michael Thorstensen explore their life together in a new comedy-drama, "Romance and the New York Yankes." The production will premiere May 8, at 8 p.m. in the Pardoe Drama Theatre at BYU and continue with performances through May 24. Tickets .are available through the drama ticket office, 378-7447. Comedy-Drama Opens At BYU "Three strikes and you're out" is the reality of baseball, but it may be possible to swing at a few more balls in life if a new play premiering at Brigham Young University in May is any indication. The comedy-drama "Romance and the New York Yankees" will open May 8 at 8 p.m. in the Pardoe Drama Theatre at the Harris Fine Arts Center. For the premiere of "Romance," the New York Yankees ball club has donated 140 baseball caps. Ten will be given at each performance per-formance to the first 10 people who come through the theater's doors. Rather than focusing on baseball, however, the play traces the lives of a young' couple and demonstrates that-without sufficient trust, communication com-munication and understanding-it becomes easy to miss the pitches people peo-ple throw at each other. "Romance" is written by L. Susan W. Lewis, candidate for a doctorate in playwriting, and directed by Susan McMurray. The play combines pathos and humor, and the humor is written to evolve from the situation rather than one-liners. "The playwright deals with problems pro-blems in communication, but she doesn't make it easy," says director McMurray. "The problems with the characters are not always so evident because sometimes they are small problems. "I believe what is meant in the play is that any enduring relationship has to be one of trust. You can be Sheli Beuhring To Serve In Connecticut Sheli C. Beuhring, the daughter of Ryan and Jane Beuhring, has been called to serve in the Hartford, Connecticut Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She will enter the Missionary Training Center on May 22. She will speak at a farewell on Sunday, May 11, at 2:30 p.m. in the Orem 33rd Ward Chapel, 50 South 800 East, Orem. An open hosue will be held at 174 S. Ellis Drive, beginning at 6 p.m. Friends and neighbors are invited. James Otteson Graduates From U. Of Arkansas Fayetteville, Ark. - James C. Otteson Ot-teson of Fayetteville will be one of an estimated 1,350 students receiving degrees during annual commencement commence-ment cerremonies May 10 at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Otteson, the son of Hans R. and Carol P. Otteson of Orem, will receive honest with another person and trust that love. We need to realize such openness makes a person vulnerable to hurt, but it is better to trust love than make relationships guessing games." In the production, two characters, Lynn and Greg, meet at a teenagers' Valentines' Day dance. Their relationship is examined at three different places: at the dance, several years later on their wedding night and after their divorce is final. It isn't until they meet again in an auto service repair waiting room that they finally take the chance to expose their feelings to each other. "While the play doesn't give a lot of pat answers, it does show that if a relationship is worth keeping, it is necessary to lose yourself in the relationship rela-tionship so that the self is less important impor-tant than the relationship," says McMurray. "I like the play because it is about intelligent people. They are good people; they just have little flaws." The play also has two imaginary best friends with whom the leads' communicate better than they do with each other. Starring in "Romance and the New York Yankees" are Mary Hosford and Michael Thorstensen. Set designer is Philip Haslamj and Cheryl Myers has designed the costumes. Brian Andrew is assistant director. Production dates are May 8-10, 13-17 and 20-24 at 8 p.m. and May 19 at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are available through the drama ticket office, 378-7447. 1 I 4 Todd Chynoweth Called To Germany Mission Elder Todd Chynoweth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S.

Jensen and Suzanne L. Dastrup of Orem were among 19 students who received doctor of philosophy degrees recently during the 111th Commencement services at Brigham Young University. A total of 2,726 students from 47 states and 39 foreign countries received receiv-ed degrees during services in which internationally known BYU professor of English and Shakespeare, Arthur Henry King, was the featured speaker. For his dissertation, Jensen conducted con-ducted a national interdisciplinary survey of mental health values of professional pro-fessional therapists. From professional profes-sional literature and values relevant to mental health and psychotherapy, he developed a questionnaire and sent it to 800 psychotherapists. He found a consensus of agreement among psychotherapists concerning the values important to mental health and the practice of psychotherapy. Jensen has been a psychology resident at the Young Adult Correctional Correcti-onal Facility at the Utah State Prison for the past two years. He received the Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology through the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences. He received a bachelor's degree in psychology from BYU in 1980.

A 1975 graduate of Weber High School, he is married to Kaydeen Hadley and they have three children. Dastrup, a full-time therapist in the Adolescent Treatment Center at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, for her dissertation investigated in-vestigated marital interaction of identical iden-tical sibling position dyads. She found that first-born siblings married to first-born siblings behave differently in their marital interaction than second-born siblings married to second-born siblings. Specifically, she found that first-borns are more interested in-terested in task completion while second-boms are more interested in the process (i.e., clarifying feelings and creating understanding) whereby the task is completed. She received the Ph.D. degree in marriage and family therapy through the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees in child development and family life education, respectively, from BYU in 1979 and 1982.

Looking For Fossils Discouraged amateur palentolo-gists palentolo-gists struggling to find fossils may need to look no farther than an anthill, says Ranger Rick magazine. Harvester ants, found in the western United States, store bone chips and other hard objects in their mounds. Why? Some hypothesize that such artifacts ar-tifacts protect the mound from wind and rain or act as little solar heaters, insulating the ant's eggs and larvae. i |
