Journeys through childhood

‘PORTRAIT OF THE
ADULT AS A YOUNG
KID,’ the delightfully en-
tertaining children's show
conceived, written and acted
_by John Carroll of Green
Thumb Players, >will be
performed at Presentation
House on March 15 at 2 p.m.

Told in story and song,
this hilarious, zany and
touching journey through
the childhood of an adult has
already enjoyed great

success in Vancouver. It is
easy to understand why.
During the capsule sketch
of growing up, the audience
meet “The Kid,” his pet
mosquito and the mosquito’s
They

brother, Gomer.

witness the life and death
battle between Jackie the
Giant Alligator and _ the
Schoolroom Rat, identify
with the agonies of learning
punctuation in second grade
and are made aware of the
frightening possibilities that
there may be untidy, candy-
bar munching convicts living
in the basement. It is a
polished and undeniably
professional performance.

The added bonus for
adults in the audience is that
both Carroll's writing and
performance evoke
memories that all of us have
but tend to either suppress
or forget.

Green Thumb Players are
Vancouver's professional

school touring company and
play to over 75,000 people
every year. Twenty new
plays have been developed
and produced by Green
Thumb over the past five
years, and they have been
invited to perform as far
away as London, England.

Tickets for the Presen-
tation House performance
are $2 Adults and $1.50
Childrea. Reservations can
be made by calling 986-135!.

Band jamboree for WV community days

The West Vancouver
Adult Community Band is
organizing a Band Jamboree
as part of the Community
Day celebrations on June
7th, 1980.

Every senior band in the
community is invited to
participate. It is not a
competition, but an enter-
tainment for the public, and
a means of bringing the

bands together to hear each
other play.

Each band would have 15
minutes of time to play their
choice of selections. For the
finale, the massed bands
would play 2-4 pieces
together, chosen by their
music directors ahead of the
Jamboree.

The performance would
start at 1:00 on the lawn of

the Community Center.

This event is being
arranged under the spon-
sorship of School Trustee
Mark Sager, chairman of
Community Day, and any_
interested band directors
should contact Hilary Clark
at 926-3030 further .

ENJOYING HAPPY MEMORIES of childhood ts John
Carroll of Green Thumb Players. Carroll conceived,
wrote and also acts in the entertaining theatre piece.

Genuine Denby
It's value is timeless.

Unul now, you had only two choices in dinnerware. It could be either elegant (and
fragile) or casual (and sturdy). Now there ts The Renaissance Collecuon of Fine
Stoneware by Denby. a unique combination of two charactenstics that seem quite
contradictory: the delicacy of fine dinnerware and the durability of everyday stoneware.
Dramaucally elegant for your most formal entertainment. your fine stoneware
nonetheless works just as hard as all other Denby stoneware.

Classically graceful, tts serving pieces are a subtle complement to this aristocrat of
stonewares. It is, indeed, the most onginal idea in table fashion today, with an enviable
charm, a mood of serenity, and above all, individuality
