On May 16
The Atlanta Children’s
Theatre will present their
current original production,
“Noah and the Great Auk”,
at the Jackson High Audito
rium on Monday, May 16th.
There will be two perform
ances, at 10:00 A.M. and 1:30
P.M.
The play was written by
ACT’s 26-year-old company
manager, Bix Doughty.
While the show is set on the
ark. the message of the play
is endangered species. Dur
ing its Atlanta run the
unusual show drew a lot of
attention from conservation
ists and environmentalists. A
team from the Department of
the Interior's Fish and
Wildlife division videotaped
• he production for considera
tion as an educational tool.
Much of the dialogue is
written in verse which
Doughty describes as a “Mix
of Shakespeare’s favorite
iambic pentameter and
children’s favorite, Dr.
Seuss’ sing-songy lyrical
style,”
Directing the production
will be Charley Helms.

Familiar
In a Paris restaurant, one
diner turned to the man at
the next table. ‘‘You sat at
that same table last Thurs
day, I believe " The second
man looked puzzled. “I did,
and l am surprised you
remember me." Replied the
first, ‘‘l don’t, to be truthful.
It’s the umbrella.’’ Another
look of surprise "I didn’t
have the umbrella last
week.” And the clincher: “I
know you did not. It was I
who had it then."
