Oregon Repertory Theatre returns to spotlight By Cathlin Brewer Of (he finer aid The curtain is rising once again for The Oregon Repertory Theatre, which closed last October due to financial difficulties. The ORT returns to the stage today with "Picnic," at the Soreng Theatre in the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. The show, along with three others to be presented this season, culminates 12 months of reorganization and planning, and ORT officials are hoping their efforts will bring the theatrical group back into the spotlight. ORT originally began as the Eugene Theatre Company 10 years ago, with the intention of bringing professional theater to Eugene. Under the watchful eye of producing director David Lun ney, ORT expanded to include Mainstage Productions, Theatre-on-the-Mall, Midnight Mafia, Playwright’s Studio and Children's Theatre. But last October the company's growth was halted when poor management and lack of board participation led to a $110,000 deficit. These factors forced ORT to suspend production. Administrative assistant Rosemary Zahler summarized ORT's activities since then. "Because the theater suspended artistic production a year ago, the energy has been focused on reorganizing and restructuring ORT. "Concurrently, careful attention has been given to the preparations for the move into the Soreng Theater at the Hult Center," she says. Under the direction of a new managing director, Steven Caffery, a clear financial plan was developed. The deficit has been reduced to $76,500, and board and staff responsibilities have been restructured to improve communication. Future ORT productions include Charles Dickens' tradi tional "A Christmas Carol," which will show in December. A third play — still unchosen - will be performed in March, and finally, the ever popular "On Golden Pond," will be staged in May. " 'Picnic' is a well-written, very American play that will strike a responsive chord in everybody,” Lunney says. "It's real juicy — about men and women and all that stuff." In their first appearances with ORT, University junior Kimberly Anderson portrays Madge, and Portlander Jack Ryan is cast in tne roie ot nai c.arrer. University theater professor Jerry Williams designed the -v set for "Picnic,” as well as the sets for "A Christmas Carol" and "On Golden Pond.' "We're dedicated to promoting, developing and enhanc ing cultural life and entertainment opportunities of the com munity," says David Lunney, ORT's artistic director. "ORT is fast becoming an integral part of the arts experience in Eugene." , "The Hult Center is in itself a standard of quality set by the community which built it," Caffer^ says. "ORT must meet that standard with a level of excellence expected of a professional theater company performing there." Tidkets# for "Picnic," which runs through Nov. 6 and "A Christmas Carol," (Dec. 15-24), are on sale for $6.50, $8.50, $10.50 and $12.50 at the Hult Center Box Office. When shows don’t sell out, ORT offers special half-price "student tickets," which are available at the box office one hour before each show. Students can purchase two tickets with one ID card.
