ARTS Yuppie play offers 1930s humor By Ming Rodrigues Ertcon? Revorter__ t 'niversity Theatre continues its mainstage season with a witty, romantic, yuppie comedy opening this Friday in Robinson Theatre Playwright Richard Greenbergs Eastern Standanl. set in New York City, mixes and matches couples and classes in a comic summary of the 1980s but is similar to the comedies of the 1930s and 1940s Greenberg is a drama graduate from Yale and last year his play Eastern Standard was the first of his four plays to go to Broadway. “I believe Eastern Standard is more than an apology for yuppie lifestyles," said director John Schmor. a graduate student in theatre arts "It is a play about slightly damaged people trying to make a better life, one with social re sponsibility and commitment to those they love. It's about four people who are nearing thirty and finally learning to grow up." The characters include a Wall Street broker whose lover is in jail for insider trading, a televi sion producer learning to live with AIDS, an ar chitect who hates his work, a Soho artist and a waitress-would-be-actress. Schmor pointed out that the play's appeal particularly lies in the honest portrayal of its two gay characters, the television producer and the Soho artist, who are lovers and whose sexuality is not an issue in the play. "There is no painful stereotyping in this play and that's important," Schmor said. Eastern Standard plays in repertory with Un ford Wilson's Horn This, another contemporary play about life and love which opened last Fri day.
