4 - SANOT (O f* ) POST Thure Sept « 1982 (Sec >) Keeping posted: Scout sign-up scheduled Thursday Staff photo Una Read and Larry LaMarah bring life to "The Wooigalherer," presented by Sandy Community Players in the Backstage Studio at the theater. The play continues Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. each night. ‘Woolgatherer’s’ chemistry perfect by VON BRASCHLER and randy for a little action He teases her and an tagonizes her, but knows soon after he leaves that he needs her as badly as she needs him. The return of veteran actor I^arry La Marsh to the Sandy stage is long overdue Clearly he’s one of the best actors around His theater skills are so diver sified, however, that SCP has kept him hidden backstage on technical assignments Now the SCP co-founder is backstage again on center stage as loudmouth Cliff. La Marsh brings intensity and depth in character development to the role He com municates a lot even in his non speaking scenes, as he tugs on the jeans over his wooden leg as clue this tough talking man is just as crippled as the g irl he threatens to reform. We tend to forget the nice things about one Larry I^aMarsh, like how he and wife Laura brought live theater out of a tra ile r where Community School kids under their wings frolicked with wood swords and thrilled at being made-up in grease paint Yes, SCP has come a long way since the children's play, "Beauty and the Beast," but the schools that outlived Community School still play a m ajor role upstage and backstage Feeder school for much SCP talent these days seems to be Sandy High which has given "The Woolgatherer" not only a daring director, but also an emotion-charged female lead in one Lisa Read Miss Read cries real crocodile tears at the end, after I>aMarsh violently throws clothes at her across the room. A few items even tumbled off the stage into the front row of seats during opening night For the audience this had to be a real th rill to be so close and feel so in volved • ♦ * IJnfortuntely, even the lim ited seating for 50 found a few chairs empty I t ’s guaranteed that folks who fill the next 50 seals won’t be left feeling empty Why is it some of the best scenes are played out like secrets in closet-size rooms and back alleyways? Sandy Community Players "The Woolgatherer” fits that description, with the intense two-act play staged in the old. dusty brick backstage area at the local theater Recent Sandy High grad Rob Lawson, in his direc ting debut, went back to basics to stage this play. Just two actors, one simple set and an audience The chemistry is perfect, because the 40-50 viewers crowd ed in the alleyway feel the loneliness and nerves of the characters, as they push each other out of their drah lives and learn to touch and love. Review Yes, there’s some R-rated language in this adult drama, but only fittin g street talk for main character C liff, a beer-guzzling truck driver He goads recluse Rose to break out of her sh e ll-h a rd to do if you’re a hemophiliac both physically and emotionally The whole play is set, then, in the young g irl’s dingy walk up apartment There she recounts the danger of going outside, noting that the previous g irl tenant com mitted suicide in her room after "getting involved ” Rose once took a quiet little outing alone to the zoo only to witness an endangered species of weak legged birds murdered by uncaring boys casting stones Another time she went to the museum only to be sad dened by the disappearance of the once-glonous woolly mammoths So she stays in her boarded up room with no phone and gathers wool from each passing stranger she only daydreams about knowing better, C liff bursts into her quiet room, tired from the road Textbook commission to m eet here THURSDAY.
