LEATHERTOWN CYCLE Main SIN Acton J Where the lights are always bright and the beggars bum off theatregoers By JUDITH teacher In It world of theatre there are two places which have widely known for their fine productions One of these is West End in London and the other situated slightly closer New York Broad Tier lias always been certain amount of magical mysticism associated with Broadway For years people have been writing and singing about it Broadway is a point far actors and act resses Once they have played Broadway their careers are well on the way to an upward swing The rtal magic of Broad way though is a mixture of the old fashioned mysticism as well as a general feeling of disgust This con only totally be understood after experiencing a success ion of nights in Broadway theatres and on Broad wo There lechnlcally ore three types of Broadway In New York Off Broadway and Off Off Broadway are where plays often of experimental nature or foreign origin arc produced on shoestring bud gets This Is made possible by cheaper running costs and union restrictions New York really IS special if you get used to its pace By IAN Theatre arts student I want to wake up In the city that never sleep New York New York Broadway Radio Cily Music Hill the Statue of Liberty Madison venue Wall Street To New Yorkers and many others this Is where It at Someof Corporation the United Nations the World Trade Centre ad men the clothing designers the money changers Almost the population of Canada squeezed into this single s When you get down to it when you get to walking on the streets New York really IS special It has a certain feel all Its own And despite the bad publicity It snot the feeing that you re about to get mugged Statistically Chorus Line inspiring speaking has one of the lowest per capita violent crime rates In the S A Tho feeling about New York is that it that Important things and crucial decisions are happening all around you That quote at the top is very true by the way To country hicks las one kind gentleman put it like us Manhattan is definitely a change of pace It Is FAST and always on the go Alter a long day of bustling around the busy sidewalk I New Yorkers walk fast and they walk everywhere because cars are impractical the last thing that you d expect is lo lie awake In your bed In the hotel wondering what all the noise Is about Cars people sirens Is there a big fire nearby Some major accident NO It just the norma activity of two clock in the morning For Instance in Greenwich Village one district of Manhattan thestorekcepcrsdon I even bother opening until noon because they know that no one will be up So true lo Its Image New York is a fast city A city caught up in itself a city that influences trends the world Broadway Ihealre on the other hand being more highly recognized than the other two has to concentrate on plays of wide popular appeal and bus commercial success In recent decades this has in singly meant musicals and light comedies surefire hits with star casts The ess of these shows is highly dependant on favorable critics verdicts The term Broadway he lire has become mous with a high level of production and acting skill After spending some time on Broadway I can honestly say that housed In Ihe theatres there Is without a doubt a portion of the worlds beat productions Performances are all topnotch Any kind of play that you arc interested In can be located an Broadway The New York entrepren eurs know talent they are dealing with and they capital lie on it Tickets range In price from for a balcony seat to for an orchestra seat This can and Is done because the demand for live theatre is extremely evident Not often did I ever see an empty seat in a theatre Some of the shows are sold out months In In direct contrast to this arc the playhouses with notes stuck to their doors Informing patrons hat he show has unexpectedly closed and if tickets have already been purchased ihen refunds arc theatre lly TUCKER Theatre arts student In the historical Shubcrt theatre the lights dim and there is The Ira begins to play as the curtains open and the stare lights come on A or people stand in posit oris of exercising and warming up but the voice of director is heard and they move to his com He Is auditioning dancers for an eight person chorus line in his new snow Each dancer was dressed in bis own warm up attire Each character costume it be tights or shorts and sneakers brought out a bit of their personality They show their nervous- through their actions as all slop and psyche themselves up for their it Groups of four await for II cue to relay back all tie steps that they have relearsed many times be fore but this time they have to be at their best I fell a part of the line because I could a lot of their and I even tried to put myself in some laces Each dancer talked and moved so nalur ally wh really made the play extra believable and very realistic The makeup worn was spectacular to mo it seemed I regular street makeup Tho most important feature of each character whell It be the person s fact feet or hips was brought out ai I found this helpful because I knew something special or different about each character by the end of the play just by looking at litem and the way they moved The excellent and found exquisitely when one character talking about himself would step aside and would inue to mime out his or her life story while groups of people would come forward and sing and dance express ing their feelings on how they felt about the auditions I enjoyed tho play ex and would re commend it to anyone who happens to be in New York and visiting Broadway or wherever it Is playing It a great musical J Novak T J KoharlDT Georgetown 122 Guelph Street on Hwy Denture therapy

Being a Canadian and grow ing up in a spacious and clean country I found the situation of Broadway quite a For a place which does as much business as Broadway I eel that it should appear differently While inside tin theatres one is safe secluded from the evils that lurk outside The streets are filthy and over crowded with people Bums sleep In door ways A feeling of being safe and secure isn very evident This type of nightlife doesn seem as if it should be char of fantastic way but one learns quickly that It a very real part In spite of the less reputable street 1 surround the theatres
