times serious, sometimes funny. We
come in all manner of gender, age, race,
size and ability, so do our stories. There
on the stage our lives come to life.

Ellie Jones (Montpelier, 223-3557) and
Tamara Craig (Shelbume, 985-9115) are
planning a series of workshops to create
just such a play as part of the Vermont
Gay Pride Celebration for 1993. They are
looking for anyone who wants to par-
ticipate in creating this theater event. You
don’t need to be a playwright or an actor
to contribute. You might work on a sec-
tion of the script (the dialog at one of the
tables) with others in your area and not
see the complete work until a final re-
hearsal. If you want to see this happen,
give them a call. Don’t make excuses. Do
it now. V
