ELEEMOSYNARY Review

RAVING RICHARD RAVING REVIEW, FOR BROADCAST LIVE ON 2/20/8: KKIM, 1000 A.M., ALBUQUERQUE, AND 94.7 P.M., SANTA FE
GREETINGS AGAIN FROM THEATRELAND, AS THERE'S A LOT GOING ON—A PLAY WITH ONLY THREE ACTORS IS AT THE ADOBE, WHICH IS THE FOCUS OF THIS WEEK'S REVIEW.
THE PLAY IS CALLED "ELEEMOSYNARY," ONLY BECAUSE THAT'S A WORD IN A SPELLING BEE CONTEST WHICH HAS A MINOR ROLE IN THE PLOT. ESSENTIALLY, THE PLAY INVOLVES THE EFFORTS OF THREE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN TO RECONCILE DIFFERENCES IN THEIR FAMILY. THE ACTING IS SUPERB: THE GRANDMOTHER, PLAYED BY BECKY MAYO, IS SOMEWHAT ILLUSIONARY; HER DAUGHTER, WHO GOES ALONG WITH THE GRANDMOTHER'S WACKY IDEAS, IS PLAYED BY MICHELLE BOEHLER; AND THE GRANDDAUGHTER, INNOCENT TO THE STRUGGLE BUT INTENT ON DEVELOPING A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER, IS PLAYED BY CHLOE TURNER. THE DIRECTOR IS JOANN DANELLE, A REAL PRO.
THIS CAST COULDNT BE BETTER SELECTED, AND YOU'LL FIND THIS PLAY WARM AND ENJOYABLE IN ADOBE'S NEWLY-REFURBISHED FACILITY-NEW SEATS, ETC. THE SHOW RUNS WEEKENDS THROUGH MARCH 2 AT 9813 4*, JUST NORTH OF ALAMEDA. FOR RESERVATIONS, CALL 898-9222.
