Photos by Joel Miller Curtain goes up Thursday on 'Close Ties9 “Close Ties,” the fall term theater production, opens this week in the McLoughlin Hall theater. “I think it’s going to be a really good, hot, solid show,” Direc tor Jack Shields predicted. Curtain goes up on Thursday, March 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m., and on Sun day, March 11 at 2:30. Unlike past seasons, general admission for students will be $2, up from $.50. “In the past, the student govern ment has opted to offset the ticket fees for plays,” Shields said. “This year, due to budget cuts, they decided not to do so anymore.” Admission for non students will be $3, and Gold Card owners will be admitted free. “Close Ties,’’ by Elizabeth Diggs, is a comic drama about the domestic pro blems of how to handle the elderly. Josephine, the main character, is an 84-year-old grandmother who is slipping into senility. “The essence of the play is how the family deals with this situation,” Shields said. The production at Clackamas Community Col lege is a.premiere for the Nor thwest, and possibly for the west coast, he added. Plans are already afoot for the spring term show at the College. Auditions will be held next Monday, 3-5:30 p.m. The show will be Gore Vidal’s “The Best Man.” The play requires a cast of 10 men and six women and will be per formed on the weekends prior to and following the Memorial Day weekend, Barbara Bragg, department secretary, said. People interested in audi tioning should contact the theater department, ext. 356.
