College plays host to ‘Little Murders’ By Brett Bigham Of The Print “The Play has such gloriously defined characters. The cast is strong and the characters are getting quite clear,” Jack Shields, Clackamas Community College’s theater director said of the upcoming production, of Jules Feiffers’ “Little Mur derers.” “People interested in socio politics and-or Jules Feiffer, and or an exciting night in the theater will be more than pleased,” he said. The show opens tomorrow night in the McLoughlin Theater for a three-night run, then leapfrogs to June 3, 4 and 5. The curtain rises at 8 p.m. for all performances except the June 5 show, which starts at 2:30 p.m. “The play is wonderful. It is, you might note, not recom mended for children for several reasons; language, subject matter and to some extent costuming,” Shields said. Shields said this week has been “a typical production week wherein the members in the company are putting all the pieces to this complex puzzle together before May 19. Most of the pieces have been identified and most likely will come together,” he said. For more information on “Little Murders” contact the College Theater Department at 657-8400, ext. 356. “There are still seats available,” Shields said. Ticket prices are $3 for adults, $2 for students and 50 cents for College students with students with student body card. Gold card holders are admitted free.

Each play is student produced, directed, acted, costumed and staged. “The Restaurant” by Dan Greenburg is a comedy about a mischievous waiter in a foreign country, and his exploitation of a couple of unsuspecting tourists. “Night With Guests” by Peter Weiss has a deceptively simple framework, yet between the lines its “canvas woven out of childrens’ nightmares” has frightening implications. The show is done completely in verse. “Preggin and Liss” by Robert Patrick is a tragicomedy. Wealthy, spoiled Preggin and poor-but-proud Liss have dropped out and are enjoying their new freedom in a Florida motel. Preggin speaks in spoonerism, transposing words together in a humorous jumble. All three plays will be per formed free of charge. During intermissions free refreshments will be served and the audience is encouraged to discuss the Wednesday, May 18,1983 College’s theater program with Communications and Theater Arts Department Chairman, Jack Shields. Students participating in the three shows are Patrick Sterling, Victory Toman, Etta Leonard, David Harvey, Amy DeVour, Maggie Bragg, Roberta Ellsworth, Sean Carlson, Donald Williams, and Michael Degner.
