When Broadway director- choreographer Jerome Roberts first came up with the idea of presenting a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, his Romeo was Catholic and Juliet was Jewish. The family feud would arise with Easter-Passover celebrations. Writing of the musical East Side Story was started in 1949 by Arthur Laurents; Leonard Bern­ stein was called upon to write the music score. Both men were in great demand in their respective professions and the project ceased until 1955 when the work was taken up again. The Catholic-Jewish vendetta was altered. The Romeo role became American and the Juliet role became Puerto Rican. The setting was changed from east New York City to west New York City. Correspondingly, the title East Side Story was rewritten West Side Story. Finally, after a few in­ terruptions, West Side Story was completed, written by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. West Side Story first opened in Washington. D.C. Aug. 20, 1957 and in New York City on Sept. 36, 1957. West Side Story will be performed by the McHenry "Counly Yiiuth theatre at the Woodstock Opera House on The Square in Woodstock Aug. 14-34. For reservations call the Opera House ticket office, 338-5300, noon to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. NEW COMMISSION Gov. James R. Thompson approved legislation creating a 16-member commission to study local government and school district finance and recommend changes it feels are needed.
