Mb -3 On Thursday, August 9th in the courtyard theatre of Kimball Art Center, it will be the familiar refrain of "another "ano-ther opening of another show" for the Park City Players. Romanoff and Juliet, a three-act comedy by Peter Ustinov, will play Thursday thru Saturday for two continuous weekends. Director Don Gomes explains why this play was chosen: "First it's a good piece of drama written by a great humorist. Not only is it a comedy, but it goes beyond slapstick and let's you think a little bit. It is somewhat of a spoof and rather timeless. Even though it was written twenty-two years ago, it still holds a message for today about international and personal per-sonal relationships. And finally, it offered a setting that was compatable with our courtyard theatre." Deciding to stage the play outside has created certain challenges for the production. produc-tion. But the production itself is a challenge, Gomes continues: "It is a challenge from an acting standpoint, it's not realistic, and that makes it difficult to do without becoming becom-ing meladramatic. The actors are required to portray a story and create an idea and an image for the audience. A lot of the humor is very subtle. Because there is an outdoor setting, there is a challenge related to noise, light and weather.
