Artists Repertory Theatre announces
the extension o f the popular play “ The
Subject W as R oses” through April 13.
“ The Subject W as R oses” , a glowing
eloquent play trailing bouquets of prizes
and the credentials of a tw o-year run on
Broadway, opened March 1 at A.R.T.
The production has built an audience
over the last three weeks to justify add­
ing performances for an additional week,
extending the run to mid-April. The ex­
tension will include a Sunday matinee
perform ance on April 7.
The Pulitzer prize-winning play by
Frank D. Gilroy features A.R.T. veter­
ans Vana O ’Brien and Ted Roisum and
A.R.T. newcomer Kelly AuCoin in the
story o f a chain reaction that occurs
from a gift o f flowers. The play also
won the Drama Critics Award for Best
Play in 1965 and the Tony Award for
Best Play the same year.
A com passionate drama Tilled with
the hum or and pain o f ordinary family
relationships, “ The Subject Was Roses”
displays the trials o f a family in which a
husband and wife nurse old wounds,
and both try to make their son an ally
against the other. Resentments erupt
when the son returns from three years in

the Army and, having had the opportu­
nity to get some distance, realizes that
the primary family dynam ics are ones
he feels need changing. The subject is
really about the adjustm ents to one
another that a family m ust make when
it has waited too long to com m unicate.
The Subject W as Roses is the first
play this season to be directed by Allen
Nause, A .R .T .’s Artistic Director. The
drama reunites a dynamic ensem ble of

won a Drammy Award for Best D irec­
tor and O ’Brien won for Best Actress.
A Drammy also w ent to Long D ay’s
Journey into Night for Distinguished
Production, and the Ensem ble Acting
Award went to Ted Roisum and Vana
O ’Brien, among others.
Allen Nause (Director) provides
the artistic leadership at A rtists Reper­

than 25 years o f professional experi­
ence, first became enam ored with this
play 23 years ago when he recreated the
role of Timmy at the San M ateo (Cali­
fornia, Hillbarn Theatre.

Jon Lucien, international perform ­
ing and recording artist, musician,
com poser and arranger, re-enters the
music scene with a brilliant new album
“ LISTEN L O V E ” : his debut release
on M ercury Records.
Smooth and easy, with a pleasing
aftertaste that gently caresses the tas-
tebuds, Jo n ’s new album frames the
m agnificence o f this rare performer.
His warm rhythm ical lyrics and m elo­
dies reflect the essence of his native St.
Thom as, where, as a young boy, he
learned the musical skills o f his father,
Eric, an accom plished classical guitar­
ist, and his mother, Eloise, a singer.
His distinctive voice has been fea­
tured in over a dozen television and
radio commercial endorsements includ­
ing: Air Jam aica, Almond Joy, Burger
King, D iet Seven Up, Exxon and U.S.
Virgin Islands.
Now after a self-im posed hiatus
lasting alm ost a decade, Jon Lucien,
the man whose seductive tenor-bari­
tone vocals put the quiet in the storm, is
back with ‘ ‘LISTEN L O V E ” which he
produced and wrote. Jon also utilized
the rem arkable talents o f Jeff Lorber to
produce tw o o f the cuts.
W ith such rhythm ically sensual ro­
mantic songs like: “ Sw eet C ontrol” ,
“ Nothing Lasts Forever” , Listen Love” ,
and “ You Take My Breath A w ay” ,
there’s no doubt that this new album
will place Jon Lucien back in the fore­
front o f them usic scene. “ Ic a n ’tle tth e
fear o f musical barriers hinder m e” , he
adds, summing it all up. “ Because in
the final analysis it’s humans that are
listening and they’re going to make
their own choices.” .
An all-star line-up o f P ortland’s
finest musicians, including, Mel Brown,
Marianne Mayfield, Norman Sylvester,
Janice S croggins, M el S olom on,
Paulettc’N Power, and Smoke House
will join together at the M elody B all­
room, 615 SE Alder St. on A pril 13,
Saturday evening from 6 to 12 pm for
the first annual “ Master Blaster’s Blues
Jam 91”. The event is a benefit in
memory o f the late broadcaster and
personality, G eorge Page who died o f a
heart attack February 21st o f this year.
Page had presented a jazz and blues
program on KBOO radio station, as the
“ M aster B laster” , for more than 20
years. The programs, Jazz Rap and
Blues Power, often featured interview s,
and the music o f local m usicians. Pro­
ceeds from the benefit will go tow ards
a broadcast scholarship in the nam e o f
George Page, which will be aw arded to
a high school senior through Benson
High School.
“ Master B laster’s Blues Jam 91",
