Bargain previews begin Fri. for ‘Shadow Box’
Alley Theatre’s production
of the award-winning play
“The Shadow Box,” will have
five low-priced preview per-
formances prior to its official
champagne opening on March
9.
Previews begirt this week on
Friday, March 3 and will con-
tinue Saturday, Sunday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, all
at 8 p.m.
The Alley production marks
the Southwest premiere of
Michael Cristofer’s acclaimed
play. Tickets are as low as
$3.50.
Winner of the 1977 Tony
Award as best Broadway play
and the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama, “The Shadow Box” is
a bold foray into the amor-
phous limbo-land between life
and death, laying dare the
fears, shortcomings ana ex-
pectations of the living.
Three cottages on the
grounds of a country Califor-
nia Hospital for the terminally
ill are shown on stage
simultaneously.
In the first cottage, a
mellow, middle-aged, middle-
class worker named Joe,
whose only regret is never
buying the farm he always
wanted, is joined by his dowdy
wife and spunky teen-aged
son.
The second cottage is oc-
cupied by a prolific writer
Brian, whose “family” is a
devoted male lover - an ar-
rangement that becomes ex
plosive when Brian’s ex-wife
turns up bejeweled with
baubles obtained from recent
conquests.
Cottage three houses Felici-
ty, a feisty, ferocious old
woman now confined to a
wheelchair and to the
ministrations of her affection-
starved daughter, Agnes..
Tickets for the low-priced
preview performances, cham-
pagne opening night or subset
quent performances are now
available at the Alley Box Of-
fice, 615 Texas Avenue.

“Little Mary Sunshine,” an
off-Broadway musical
comedy by Rick Besoyan, is
being presented by the
University of St. Thomas
Drama Department through
March 5 (except Feb. 27).
This spoof of old-time
operettas pokes fun at the
overearnest heroes and
heroines, dastardly villians
and coquettish soubrettes of
that charming bygone era.
Colorado Rangers, a stal-
wart captain, a lovely Mary,
a chorus of simpering school
girls and a villianous Indian
are all part of the action.
The score includes 24
songs, among them thunder-
ing choruses, schmaltzy
waltzes, and lilting duets
all kidding and in fun.
Featured in the cast are
Michel Rutrough, Mike
Martin, Allan Edwards and
Robin Bluworth. Directing is
Carolyn Franklin, UST
lecturer in drama.
All performances are at
UST’s Jones Theatre, 3900
Yoakum at Sul Ross. Curtain
is 8 PM.
Tickets are $2 for adults,
$1 for students. For reser-
vations or information, call I
522-7915.
