JCC auction helped put many in the swim

Three hundred and eighty-five guests bid on 560 items donated by 55 sponsors at the JCC auction last month, raising over $125,000 to provide memberships and program fee reductions to at-risk fami-

lies and individuals in the community. Auctioneer Jack Fife and Emcee David Dubow kept the evening lively. Over $6,000 was raised in this year's Fund-A-Need. The money will be used to

purchase aquatic gear to outfit the new Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Aquatic Center. The event was a huge success, thanks to Miriam McKasson, Jenny Dubow, Myrna Weinberger, Joyce Kleinnan, Linda Frank,

Robbie Krumper, Barbara Alpert, Christy Sagalowsky, Wendy Cohen, Caryl Shideler, Linda Cantor, and everyone who participated. Saturday, Dec. 6, 2003, has been set as the date of next year's auction.

‘Equus’ at TOTS

Theatre on the Square will present Peter Schaffer's Tony Award-winning psychological thriller, "Equus," from January 3 through January 25. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Based on an actual event, Equus is the gripping tale of a 17-year-old boy who is institutionalized after blinding six horses with a metal spike. In treating the boy, a psychiatrist must confront his own insecurity, morality, and sexual repression. The themes Schaffer bled into Equus are, most notably, the perversion of religion, the failures of parenthood, moral relativism, and the ex-

ploration of human sexuality. The theater's mainstage has been reconfigured for the production, creating a space in which the audience will take seats upon risers built onto the stage, becoming a part of the psychiatrist's dissection of the boy's world. In so doing, director Tony McDonald hopes his audiences will feel such an intimate connection with the characters that they will be forced to ask themselves the questions which the play poses. Tickets are $20 adults and $17 students and seniors, with group rates available. Contact TOTS box office, 317-637-8085, or visit www.tots.org.
