i EL er A AN A So AG nme Sn pt rg JA Litrato oe by Margaret Rowland Once again, the Borelians Com- munity Theatre group provided Port Perry with a unique evening of theatre with their production of "Moments II", a 'sequel' to the highly successful 'Moments', this past weekend at Town Hall 1873. "Moments II' presented ex- cerpts from a number of contem- porary dramas which examine a variety of themes. The highly entertaining "Jacob Two-Two and the Hooded Fang", a play for children of all ages, led off the evening. Starring Kevin Ellis, Katherine Ellis, Tiffany Reid, and Terry Hodgins, as the dreaded Hooded Fang, the scenes selected, about a young boy who repeats everything he says and "his experiences with a failing lawyer, two prison wardens, and the much feared Fang, were char- ming. Directing duties were handled by Dave Ellis. The following two excerpts, also directed by Dave Ellis, from George Bernard Shaw's famous play '"Pygmalion" and the more recent 'Educating Rita' by Wil- ly Russell, examined relation- ships between men and women. Chris Francom and Sherri Todd portrayed both Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, and Frank and Rita, two couples who ex- perience similar difficulties. The relationship of George and Martha in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" was explored in selected scenes from Edward Albee's drama. The complicated couple was capably portrayed by John Foote and Sandy James- Mitchell, and capably directed by Dave Ellis, and the - audience responded well to the performances. "'Zakeana Reid, directed by John Foote, and Jennifer Fletcher and Annalise Kosurko, both directed 24 Dave Ellis, gave the directors' terpretations of Joan of Arc's fiery final speech of George Ber- nard Shaw's "St. Joan". All three young women delivered Joan's monologue with great passion and the lighting provided a haunting effect. : 'The audition scene from Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor' was much less dramatic than the other scenes, but for some actors it represents a nightmare of sorts. In this scene a young actress audi- tions before a famous director- playwright and, being rather in- experienced, is nervous and flustered. This scene gave the production a much needed break between intensely dramatic scenes. Zakeana Reid and Chris Francom, directed by John Foote, portrayed the actress and the director. In the scene chosen from "The Effect of Gamma-Rays on Man- In-The-Moon Marigolds", which was directed by Dave Ellis, An- nalise Kosurko and Stacey Tower Three new members to Seniors club The Senior Citizens held their regular meeting on Wed.

The highlight of the evening, however, was the premiere of some scenes from John Foote's poignant play "Memories in Black Granite" which studies the effects of the Vietnam War on various individuals. Steve Foote was riveting as the soldier who harbours a desire to kill after returning from the war. As well, Sherri Todd, Sandy James- Mitchell, Halie Vogel, and Zakeana Reid turned in fine performances. John Foote, who directed his own work, gave the audience PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 4, 1988 -- 19 'Moments' sequel good evening of theatre something that few films about the Asian conflict explore with any detail---the opportunity to feel the intense emotions of the varie- ty of people who were involved. The dialogue was realistic and straightforward without the flowery speeches we are ac- customed to. The impassioned monologues of the characters did not leave many dry eyes in the audience. Directors Foote and Ellis and producer Linda Shewan brought an entertaining and thought- provoking production to Port Perry and the Borelians have pro- ven themselves once again. "Moments III" is greatly anticipated. 725-6501 retirees, and their families OUR GREATEST ASSET!
