Community players work
on mystery production
The people at the New Com
munity Theatre are hard at work
once again putting the final touches
on their last production of the 1976
season, “The Haunting of Hill
House." This faithful adaptation of
the Shirley Jackson novel captures
all the terrifying occurances at Hill
House as a group of hand-picked
people attempt to scientifically
explain why the house is called a
dangerous place to live.
Director Judy Aten states, “This
is a very demanding play. The
Technical effects are very difficult.
We have to create a house which is
not only alive, but very evil. Our
hardest effect is creating those

quite real.

pointment,” Port said. “If someone
calls we set up an appointment
within 48 hours. Sometimes it takes
longer because of the territory we
cover.
We will do work throughout the
city, Jefferson Parish, Chalmette
and other areas around town.
Sometimes we have to set up these
appointments within 72 hours.’’
Port began his mobile bicycle
repair service two years ago.
‘ln April 1974, I had only SSO in
my pocket and no job,’’ said Port.
Before I came to New Orleans, I
was a mechanic in New York, so I
decided to try repairing bicycles
and I developed the idea of going
to the customers.
I operated from my apartment
and from my little sports car. The
idea worked and before long I had
built up a pretty good business for
myself."
Last January, after experimenting
with a partnership that didn’t work
out, Port bought a panel truck and
converted it into a bicycle repair
shop on wheels.
First, I had to redo it inside and
build shelves for working, add
cabinets and pegboards for storing
tools, he said. “I worked on the
truck for about three months, and
in April the shop on wheels was
back rolling down the streets of the
New Orleans area."
The truck carries an inventory of
18,000 parts and a good line of
tools.
