THEATRE RETURNS TO STEEL HALL

by Christopher Michaud

Theatre has once again returned ¢ hallowed halls of the Steel ding. Theatre enthusiasts wel- ed the return to Prince Edward id last weekend the highly suc- ful play Drinking In America ing UPEI’s own Craig Blair, and cted by Laurel Smyth.

Some of you may remember Drinking In America ran at the Guild in Charlottetown over the mer. What some of you may not w is that Craig and Laurel, with B Productions, took the play off- id late in the summer to the ge Festival in Halifax, where it teceived with great acclaim.

Well, the UPEI Theatre Society pleased to have the opportunity -eing this successful play in its ible abode. While the turnout not as high as expected, it did V a good audience over the week-

_ Theatre goers were treated to her successful job portend bys

Craig Blair. Craig continues to excel,

and proves it with his versatility, having to perform twelve different characters for Drinking In America. This, of course, is also where Lau-

. Tel’s great directing abilities enter.

While the play may seem to have been excessively long in dura- tion, Craig is able to keep the audi- ence following each character through all twelve changes. The play itself is quite vulgar, and a little graphic as well, very much like a

conversation one might overhear in a

football locker room.

All in all, Drinking In America is a good play, a little boring, but good, thanks in great part to Craig and Laurel.

Good job, guys!!

Oh, and one musn’t forget to mention, of course, Donna Martin as stage manager. Keep it going, girl!

MOJA BABKA

Her pleasant smile, her shining face Warm memories of her embrace These are my recollections

Of the creator’s work of perfection

A grandmother’s special gift When spirits were low she’d lift To a child of tender years

She could remove all the fears

Grandmother’s teaching we carry They are of truth and never vary Now as adults we stand in awe Of this person without flaw

Today, as I think of that blessed one Her memories just bubble one by one The smell of her warm bread

Always asking if we were fed

The little kitten at her feet

Her old apron, her special seat These are the memories she gave And now are mine to save

She is gone and suffers not For it was god who has sought She is in his loving care

And is waiting for me up there

Say What?

Listen to the penguins as they lurk along the path, Watch the badgers gnawing underneath the purple bath. Understand the starlight as it climbs upon the stair, Smell the painted china frolicking under your chair.

Stand within the breadbox which is rolling on the floor, Chase the humble pretzel hanging on the front screen door. Touch the pretty whirlwind eating ham under your bed, Draw the hidden day- dreams locked inside your gerbil’s head.

Taste the violent bedspread smoking thyme out in the yard. Contemplate the slippers as they terrify a bard. Hear the yellow crayfish as it flies toward the moon, Permit the ugly horseshoe to scream sonnets to your spoon.

Know the wilted cactus shall under- mine a king, See the saffron mumble before it starts to sing. Comprehend the flowers that sink before they float. Dance upon the muffins which live within the moat
