OZEROFF — To Cindy and Sean Ozeroft Play continued trom page C1 Nonetheless, we both agreed that the RLOP’s effort was better performed and staged. No second seats here. While, admittedly, this is an amateur rather than & professional (that is, unlike ‘‘amateurs’”’ in sports they don’t get paid for doing what they do so well) and that some of the members in the cast and staff are talents, this is a most praiseworthy endeavor. The logistics alone are staggering — 52 members in the case, 21 in the orchestra and 28 in the produc- tion staff, The show is over two-and-a-half hours on Stage with two acts and 17 scenes. There are a total of 20 musical numbers for a wonderful romp down memory lane. Among the many items that reviewer Raymond Masleck noted and which I heartily endorse was the simplified staging by Charlies Bailey, set designer and Stage director. With his outstanding skills,in both areas, Bailey turned liabilities into assets thereby giving both credibility to the staging and fast-forward action in the performance. I enjoyed Adelaide and The Dancing Dolls of the Hot Box Night Club, particularly the Take Back Your Mink number, while the Fuge for Tinhorns trio with Rusty Charlie (Clint Kness), Nathan Detroit and Nicely Nicely Johnson set the vocal tone for the show. Arvide Abernathy (George Bouchier), the old veteran bass drummer for the Save-A-Soul Missionaries, was perfect in this supporting role and has never done better than in his single solo More I Cannot Wish You to comfort Miss Sarah Brown (Wendy Garbe), his granddaughter in the story and the mission leader. There are several players from Castlegar in this i ity-based izati Lead player, Lorren Culley, Stanley Humphries secondary school music teacher, got an enthusiastic response from the crowd as Sky Masterton the odds maker who travels to Cuba with the innocent Sarah, whose inhibitions crumble in proportion to the number of milkshakes ‘‘flavored”’ with rum that she consumes in a Cuban bar, Both performers, completely com- plemented by the patrons and dancers of the establishment, were outstanding in their parts. David Healing, an earth-science teacher at the high school, played one of the patrons of the Hot Box and the bar while his daughter, Sara, one of the Dolls, did a very sophisticated walk-on street scene, Chris Sharp, a student at Selkirk College, was Joey Beltmore, a with-it waiter inthe Cuban bar who, by his agility and presence, formed a tink between the performers. ’ Guys and Dolls plays in Castlegar on March 15 and patrons are not only assured of a first-class show but will be giving a boost to the arts here. The Proceeds will go towards the construction of the Proposed Castlegar arts centre. Incidentally, the Rossland Light Opera Players is unique in one respect. If the old appeal, ‘‘Is there a doctor in the house?”’ is heard, it will be answered by at least three from the stage — Dr. Bruce Fawcett (director), Dr. Marnie Jacobson (Adelaide) and Dr. Margaret’ MacDiarmid (piano). Lawyer Raisa Bouchier, one of the Hot Box dancers, will be on hand -to take care of any legal complications. Now that’s service. Don’t forget. Stanley Humpries secondary school — 8 p.m. on March 15.

In conjunction with ICBC, the event is being called A Night to Remember. “I'm very pleased at this decision,’’ said Ron Woodward, chairman of the grad parent commit- tee at the school. “‘It’s very rewar- ding to see our children making such a responsible decision. I’m proud of them."’ Woodward said the grads made their decision on their own, without Pressure from parents or school of- ficials. But he notes that parents are totally behind the decision and have formed a large and active committee to raise funds and plan the event, a and involvement from both parents and students. A variety of activities have been planned to raise the $7,000 for the trip. The group sold raffle tickets for a draw held on March 8. On March 17, there will be a Russian dinner at Crescent Valley Hall. In late April, there will be an auction at the school, run by Russell Auction. A corporate appeal is also underway and, according to Liz Kanigan, treasurer of the parent committee, it’s going very well. “The encouragement and support from local businesses and agencies has been overwhelming,’’ she said. “So far we've raised about $2,000 and have received a variety of donations from flour for the dinner to a table saw for the auction.” New PERSONAL CHOICE Program fam from F, the first time, Weeight VUvatchers’ offers news food plans in a breakthrough program.

We Sell Distinctive Invitations, Napkins, etc, Come See Us At final production Hunting Cockroaches, Nelson Lit- tle Theatre’s third and final produc- tion of the 1990-91 season, opens March 21 at Nelson’s Capitol Theatre with a two-for-one night. Hunting Cockroaches, by Polish playwright Janusz Glowacki, was a hit at New York’s Manhattan Theatre Club where it was directed by Arthur Penn, Little Theatre says in a news release. In that production, Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest starred as Anka, the role which, in the NLT show, is played by Karen Agnew. Hunting Cockroaches, which was in the repertoire of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 1990, is the story of two contemporary Polish immigrants in New York. Jan and Anka have quite a time dealing with their new neighborhood, city and country. Anka, once a well-known classical actress in Warsaw, can’t get work because of her accent. Jan, a writer, Struggles with a titanic writer's block. As they try valiantly to get some sleep one night, they cope with various ‘‘flash-backs.’’ Agnew, a refugee from the Toron- to rat-race, brings more than 10 years’ experience in professional theatre to the role. D. Bruce Ormond is Jan. Or- mond, a graduate of the now- defunct David Thompson University Centre theatre program, last directed Sing a Song of Sixpence, the Capitol Theatre’s 1990 Christmas pan- tomime. Ormond has appeared in a large number of NLT shows. In 1983, he won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the Theatre B.C. festival for his role in Canadian Gothic by Johanna Glass. Others in the cast include Tony Hill as the smirky immigration of- ficer, Josh Stubbs and Marco Sor- dini as scary secret policemen, Susan Hastings as the mange-ridden baglady, Laurie Jarvis and Don Burgess as the creepy Thompsons, and Heather Hutchinson as the cen- sor who is always willing to make a deal. The play is being produced by Linda Kirkpatrick and designed by JoAnn Kelsall. Gus Bos is the direc- tor. Further performances of Hunting Cockroaches will take place on Mar- ch 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30. Curtain time is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and studen- ts, and are available at the usual outlets and the Capitol Theatre box office. Exhibit looks at women of Nelson's history The Nelson Museum is presenting an exhibition on the Women of Nelson: 1880-1950 from March 8-28 at the Chahko Mika Mall. The exhibition includes Photographs, memoirs, artifacts and archival items from Nelson and area women and their families, and celebrates the contribution of women to the growth and development of their community. Opening on International Women’s Day, the exhibition is curated by Brenda Hornby and Yvonne Munro, who have been working since September on the Project. They have conducted written and oral interviews with individual women and representatives of women’s groups, read mountains of books and articles, and combed old newspapers in search of the women who have made significant con- tributions, often with no desire to be recognized. Through original paintin, sketches by Munro, Eileen William- son and Judy Mulloy, as well as historical photographs copied by Michael Cormie from originals from i and in the museum collection, and through the use of artifacts and ar- chival items, a picture of the women themselves and their world will be Presented, the museum says in a news release. With signage by Ann De Grace and typsetting and layout by Fran Wallis, the written texts by the curators and fellow researchers Fran- ces Welwood and Jean Madson will carry the viewer through the worlds of native and pioneer women, the early professions, work in home and outside the home, community and civic life, and cultural milieu. The exhibition will be open to the public during regular mall hours and will be free of charge. Subscribe to the... Cas . . . by Carrier or Mail Delivery — and receive — OD?
