THE CENTER'S fPffla from the Atlanta Jewish Community Cantor, Inc. “AH Aboard” When 1 was young I remember going to visit my aunts in Toronto,Canada,every summer and how I especially looked forward to the wonderful adventure of a train ride through the rolling hills of Pennsylvania. The steam engine train with its hisses and jolts has been forever engraved as part of my childhood. Now, unfortunately, there are only planes that go from place to place. But, oh, how I long to relive just once smells and sensations of a passenger train. Trains do hold a fascination for most people. And the Center is building on this for its GALA IV. Our annual fundraiser will be held this year on Nov. 15 at the Depot in Underground Atlanta, which has been remarkably remodeled to become one of the most exciting places in town to give a party. GALA has always been well known for its spectacular reviews. Remember “Hurray for Hol lywood” and “Broadway Comes To Peachtree” from our recent GALAs. This year’s review is being called “All Aboard.” It was developed by Lisa Brill and Bobbi Perlstein. It features songs about trains (obviously) and cities in the United States famous for their association with trains, such as Chicago and Chattanooga. These showstoppers are blended together with exciting dance routines, Once the show was conceived, we looked around for just the right $ ALL ABOARD GALA IV NOVEMBER 15, 1986 person to serve as a writer and director and Scott Rous seau, choreographer and assistant director of “Little Shop of Horrors,” was asked to take a look at what we had. He did—and he loved it. So Scott is our director. Scott is an established writer, singer, choreographer and director. He immediately called for auditions from our members and over 30 talented, young, beautiful men and women turned out. Rehearsals are now under way and Scott has told us we have a bouncy, clever, funny script from which to work. But what’s a train ride without a train? So—we have a train! The New Georgia Railroad has revamped a dozen vintage cars, pulled by old engine 750, one of the last steam-driven locomotives that streaked across this land from 1830 until the 1950s. Over 400 patrons will have a one-hour train ride around Atlanta with a light dinner from “Affairs to Remember,” entertained by jazz com bos, banjo players, jugglers, clowns, magicians, black jack dealers and a honky-tonk piano. This pre-GALA train ride ends at 9 p.m. at the Depot and our patrons will join the crowd of revelers who will have already arrived to dance to the music of the Moder- naire’s and to see the wonderful “All Aboard” review. If you would like to be a part of GALA IV, call Chana or Kathleen at 875-7881. Center Players Perform “Come Blow Your Horn” The Center Players announces its first show of the season, the hilarious Neil Simon comedy “Come Blow Your Horn.” The production centers around two sons of Harry Baker, owner of the largest artificial fruit business in the east.
