SUMMER

Jill Stover, Director/Producer and owner of Enchanted Hills Playhouse, is again offering the Syracuse community and surrounding areas a strong theatrical season. This year the playhouse has expanded its children’s theatre and will be touring to area schools with “Jack And The Giant' , Jill Stover purchased the playhouse from Douglas Stark and Robert Zehr in 1980. Just three years after Mrs. Stover purchased the theatre, she had improved attendance. In 1980 the playhouse averaged about 50 percent capacity, and in 1983 the summer stock theatre’s attendance was up to 92 percent of capacity. Obviously not a small operation, EHP has

a mailing list of 6,000. They operate on a six figure budget, and yet are able to provide live theatre entertainment as an economical alternative to television and the movies. The professional summer stock theatre auditions between 600 and 1,000 young actors and actresses each season to select a resident company of 14. Auditions begin Feb. 1 and are conducted through May 5. Mrs. Stover holds auditions throughout the Mid-West, including Ohio, Michigan, and Bloomington, Ind. “A couple of days, according to Mrs. Stover, are always spent in Chicago.” The summer season planned this year will include the performance of “Peter Pan.” A

youngman from Noblesville, Timothy Mathis, will be playing the lead role. Mrs. Stover describes him as one of the important actors of the season. According to Mrs. Stover, “Peter Pan" is special because it has not been available to be done in the last few years. She adds, ‘ “Peter Pan" is not a children’s show, but a family production for all ages ” Mrs. Stover, who believes the attributes of the Syracuse area for tourism are underpublicized, has another strong season in store for theatre goers. The season will open with the June 13-24 performances of My Fair Lady. Other productions this season will include: “Cabaret,” June 27-July 8; “The King And I,” July 11-22; “Camelot," July 25-August 5; “Peter Pan," August 8-19; and “The Diary Os Anne Frank," August 22-26. The new expanded children’s theatre will feature four workshops for children. Productions to be presented include: “Jack And The Beanstalk," June 9; “Androcles And The Lion," June 23; “Winnie The Pooh,” July 7; “The Magic Pebble Gang,” July 21; an original play, August 4; and “Treasure Island,” August 18. During the month of May Dr. Jeffrey Koep, assistant professor and chairman of communication arts at Indiana University at South Bend and artistic director at EHP, will be traveling to area schools to present an original play. The play entitled “Jack And The Giant” will be performed at Milford; North Webster; Syracuse; Chandler School, Goshen; Parkside School, Goshen; West Noble; and Ligonier Schools. Concludes Mrs. Stover, “I would say com-

Summer has sornething new in store for both of-you

As the seasons warm the trick is staying comfortable while having fun. New’ clothing for the summer season seems to set the pace for both. With their natural fabrics and loose 'fitting styles with a flair, this year’s summer fashions for both he and she can’t miss. For him this summer season, it’s over sized jackets and baggy pants in neutral tones. Jackets feature an unconstructed look with large pockets, and the pants are rolled at the bottom to form very casual cuffs. The fabrics are both casual and suited to the warmth of the season in cotton and linens. This season fun is the word in women’s designs as well. Ranging in style from the jazziest jumpsuits to the coolest in rumpled cotton crop pants, and featuring pockets galore. Pin stripes, solids, brights, whites, pastels and muted shades are all part of the summer scene, which provides endless variety in the season’s wardrobe. With fun being the key to fashion this season, even the more tailored looks of summer feature pockets in places they’ve never been seen before! One popular style gauranteed to be seen a lot this season is the unbelted dress with its straight lines, squared padded shoulders and large square pockets at the sides. Even this tailored

designer look has fun in splashy solids and stunning stripes. Back again this summer is the longer blazer of cotton or linen. Cinched at the waist the jacket gives a soft sillouette, but can be worn loose for a more tailored look. The jacket with padded shoulders or in its unconstructed version is the perfect match for most of the season's slacks and skirts and is ideal for cooler summer days and evenings by the water. Without a doubt fun is the key to fashion this summer season. Combinations of colors, stripes and maybe some of the old with the new may be the key to fashion fun this season for both of you.
