The Heights Players has been experimenting with this idea over the past twoweekends. This last weekend (June 13 to 15)it produced some winners. Presented was achoice potpourri of plays. The first was afeminist drama; the second a series ofautobiographical Chekhov stories, and thethird the entire m usical, %u201cYou%u2019re A GoodMan Charlie Brown.%u201dIn %u201cThe Art of Self Defense%u201d by TrishJohnson, director Greg Johnson skillfullyjuxtaposed pairs of actresses playing eithersympathetically in concert, or as antagonists. Frannie (Randi Jasper) thebesieged mother and Ruth (Sheila MacDougall) were an adept comedy team, particularly effective in the party scene. Conversely C.Y. (Laurie LeFever) and Jan(Victoria Thompson) displayed a dramaticduel of dominance vs. submission in a testof wills.LeFever was excellent as the strongwilled feminist, suggesting lesbian undercurrents, and Victoria Thompson was theepitome of a weak-willed personality. Winnie Johnson (Elizabeth) was equally effective as the sexy, self-assured attorney. Thiswas interesting theatre which would havemade, perhaps, a fascinating full-lengthdrama.In %u201cChekhov People%u201d Warren Watson,who was both director and actor, performeda tour de force. He brought the ailingwarm-hearted writer to life in these vignettes with robust acting. The tale of%u201cSmichkov%u201d the hairy musician, and %u201cNadyinka%u2019s Friend,%u201d which was quintessentialChekhov, were particularly enjoyable.The evening%u2019s finale was the charmingrevival of %u201cYou%u2019re A Good Man CharlieBrown.%u201d David Jay Bernstein not only prOVfe a*\I M C? L , jr%. m m %u2022 _ _ gr*.I C 4 IL I I I J l I I I W L C D Ced to be an adept director, but just right inthe title role. He possessed both a beautifulbaritone and the naivete of the awkwardschoolboy. Breathing life into the belovedSnoopy was Paul Falcetta who charmed theaudience in %u201cIt%u2019s A Nice Day After All%u201d and%u201cSuppertime%u201d numbers and was extremelycredible.As the essence of the mean-spirited Lucy,Dorrie%u2019s portrayal was terrific. GabrielRivas (Linus) danced expertly, and exhibited a sparkling, comic touch as thephilosopher. Natalie Gomez (Patty) andBob Marten (Schroeder) were competent inlesser roles. On the whole the m usical captivated the audience, which left singing theshowstopper %u201cHappiness Is.%u201dUnfortunately, the first two plays of thisseries previewed the weekend of the 6thwere far less successful. The two oneacters, both by Christopher Durang, werepoor choices for both directors.While %u201cThe Actor%u2019s Nightmare%u201d wasamusing momentarily, its humor grewmonotonous. The play leaned too heavily onthe main character. Javier Yaffar (GeorgeSpelvin) wasn%u2019t equal to the part. However,Giselle Dorman (Sarah Siddons) performedwell with broad comic turns.The second play %u201cSister Mary IgnatiusExplains It All For You%u201d falls into the genreof sacrilegious, anti-establishment humorpopular in the sixties. It was m ostly atedious expostulation. Only Maryrosq Leggio%u2019s (Diane Symonds) performance provided a momentary, dramatic interlude. Butthis was quickly dissolved by a solutionwhich opted for cheap laughs.Both Fitzpatrick and Tyler should bemore selective in their future choices.HEIGHTS PLAYERS: Three weekendsof workshops, with directors presentingscenes from past plays presented by thetroupe. 26 Willow Place, June 20-21, 8pm.Information, 237-2752.D eu D reamsITALIAN FOOD EMPORIUML e t U s C a ter Yo u r P a r t y !Boar's Head Coldcuts Bar-B-Que Chickens Homemade Salads Delicious Sandwiches Hot Bagels & Rolls Cold Beer & Soda Coldcut PlattersTHE NEW SIX-FOOT HERO!G reat for G rad u ation s, Confirm ations, C o m m u n io n s4th o f July Parties, etc.402 Atlantic Ave. 330-0911O ie n M o n .-F ri. 7 :3 0 -9 p .m .
