The Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre is doing a production of Paul Zindel's (former THS teacher), Pulitzer Prize winning drama "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." This year is the 40th anniversary of the play.

Julie Corbin, a 1978 THS alumni, does an excellent job portraying the crazy and troubled mother, Beatrice. Beatrice is the mother of 2 teenage high school girls. The play is somewhat autobiographical, based on Mr. Zindel's mother, sister and himself (although he changed the play to 2 sisters, rather than a sister and brother).  We have 3 wonderfully talented high schools in the cast;

Sabrina Bogen as Tillie, Danielle Gibson as Ruth and Summer Moran as Janice.  I play an very old and zombie-like "Nanny," a boarder that Beatrice takes care of to get some income. I am a 1963 graduate of Tottenville and although I never had Mr. Zindel for a teacher, I do remember him. 

 

The play will be performed at the 3rd County Courthouse in Historic Richmond Town, 441 Clarke Avenue, SI, NY 10306. It opens Thurs, 3/31, at 8PM. Other dates and times are as follows:

                       Fri. 4/1           8PM
                        Sat. 4/2           8PM
                        Sun. 4/3          3PM
 
                        Thurs. 4/7         8PM
                        Fri.     4/8         8PM
                        Sat.    4/9         8PM
                        Sun.  4/10        3PM
 

Ticket prices are $18. and $15. for students and seniors.  The play is being directed by Craig Stoebling.

Says Bob:

 

There are some categories of regular features, like "Cruise Corner," " Let's Take a Tour," "Vacation Vignettes," "Travel Tips" and, "Hometown Vacations."

But some entries just won't fit any particular category.  Whatever comes to me to write about, when it comes to travel and vacations.

 
There's no set pattern to what I write, and  it is already gathering a small following.
 
I hope you'll like it.

Ever feel like you are so busy but don't get anything done?
