Show ! Marriage-go-Round' is entertaining spoof By MARCELLA WALKER In a little different format from usual theater fare, the Valley enter Playhouse of Lindon is presenting a trio of one-act plays fpoofing marriage during the month ' jiNovember. "Marriage-Go-Round" is presented each Friday, Saturday ; and Monday at 8 p.m. at the Valley i enter Playhouse, located at 780 N. j East, Lindon. The plays will Jontinue through Dec. 1. ' mi three of the plays are comedies : and each one is very entertaining. Hie first is "The Diary of Adam and Eve." Starring in this show are Dave Roquemore as Adam and i Debra Whitley as Eve. ' in a delightfully humorous way, 1 k audience is led along through the 1 lives of Adam and Eve as it might ' have happened, but everyone is sure ' i really didn't. Many of the lines ' bring forth hearty laughter. This is a ; very fun play. ' Most entertaining of the three 1 plays, for me, was the second, "A ; Little Matter of We." One of the ' interesting things about this play is 1 tat it is probably a very true ac-' ac-' count. It is the story of a young ' couple who are celebrating their first wedding anniversary. As it ' lirns out, each tries to please the a sther without really knowing what it is that pleases the other. The performers in this production are Keith Christeson as Danvers, Rob Pope as Arlow Twiddlington, Jacquline Huish as Sheila Twiddlington, Twid-dlington, Kathleen Reed as Melissa Dabney and Muareen Eastwood as Mrs. Gouchet. The mid-nineteenth century setting for this play is great and so are the English accents. The humor is lots of fun. The third play is "Why I Am a Batchelor." It, too, is very humorous and there is a lot of truth in this one, also. It stars Grant Draper as the lecturer, Shane Barker as Algernon, Leslie Jorgenson as Henrietta and Marie Miller as the Girl. The lecturer sets out to prove why he is wise to stay a batchelor by depicting a series of incidents in courtship and marriage. This story has a fun twist at the end. The audience is certainly entertained en-tertained with this variety of plays which poke a little fun at marriage. Though all three plays are different, they point out the little foibles that make marriage the great institution that it is. Tickets are $3.50 for adults, $2.75 for students and senior citizens, and ' $13:50 for families. |
