DRAMA
Continued from Page 1
To that and, Thu Lord Loebrick Theater Com pa
ny's first offerings are two contemporary one-act
play* with strong political and existential themes
The Harold Pinter play "One for the Road'- ex
plores governmental power abuse, while "Play"
by Samuel Beckett is a disquieting portrayal of
the hereafter
Loebrick said the plays fit well into his theater
company's mission to produce serious drama
"With the kind of theater we're Interested in
starting, wo do want to turn some heads." ho said
"We're interested in doing intense theater ”
When the Oregon Repertory Theater was still
producing plays, bugone drama hounds had a
place to turn for serious plays But when the
group wont under in 1987. no one picked up the
torch. *
“A lot of bugone groups do musicals and light
drama — plays that are a little more safe."
Loebrick said. "In bugenc. with the political cli
mate the way it is. we feei that this town would
support a theater that was a little more on-edge "
Kim Donahoy, who is one of the three actors in
"Play." said the darkness of the piece presented
unique acting challenges. She plays the role of a
disembodied soul remembering her traumatic life
experiences and unaware of the presence of her
two former companions.
"It's very intense," Donahoy said "I've studied
acting at tho University, and the talk is alxiut the
relationship between the characters on stage. But
in 'Play' they uren't relating."
Donahey's eight-year-old son, Daniel, acts in
"One for the Road." He portrays a small child
who is imprisoned with his family and violently
Interrogated for crimes against the state
Donahey said she worried about having her son
act in such a vivid play.
"The Pinter piece is very, very dark.” she said
"I was a little concerned about him playing in the
play But his scene Is separate from the others, so
he goes home after he's done
Artistic considerations aside, the one-act plays
made good economic sense
Lecbric.k said Ihe theater group hus gone to
great lengths to keep costs down by constructing
' skeleton sets" that rtdv more on the audience's
imagination than on elaborate sot design
"The skeleton set is one way in which you save
money, but we don't want to always Is’ limited by
our budget." Ian-brick said.
Accomplishing that goal means organizing a
ihoaier season with regular performances and a
faithful audience The regular season will la-gin
this Soplember with seven performances planned
through June of 1003.
A devoted following is a much a larger quest Ion
mark
Kich Shoelands. director of operation* ai the
Hull Center, said building a following is a make
or-break factor for most theater companies
"They need to provide a season of solid
shows." Scheelands said "That will give them an
economic foundation that's fairly solid.
Locbrick has faith that The Lord Leebrlck
Theatre Company can survive any initial set
backs.
"Say this show is not a big success." l.eobrick
said. "We'll go on As long as WO keep putting M
shows and keeping costs low we II continue and
build an audience as we go ''
The first Lord Leebrick Theatre Company per
formance will be Saturday ai H 15 p m In the
Broadway Building at JO li. Broadway A 2 30
matinee performance will also be offerer) on Sun

"Band-Aid" solution, replacing
only part of the money lost by
Measure 5, providing property
tax relief and cutting costs in
state government,
Amos said the governor plans
to eliminate ai>out 4,000 gov
ernment positions by July 1,
