Dear Mr. Fizz: Would
you agree that if there is
no God, ne absolute

- being, there can be no

absolute values? :
Fizz: No. I-think these
uestions are logically dis-
tinct. In any case to
explain existence
absolutely we must come
to a being which contains
within itself the reason for

“its own existence, a being

which cannot not exist.
Got it? Hey, it’s time to
for everybody to Limbo:
2 oz. light rum, 1/2 oz.
banana liqueur, 1 oz. .
orange juice. Shake well
with cracked ice and
strain into a‘ cocktail glass.
Dear. Mr. Fizz: It scems
thac God does not exist.
God is infinite soodness.
If God existed there
would be no evil in the
world. There is evil. God
does not exist.

Fizz: God in his infi-
nite goodness, brings
good even our of evil. He
allows evil to exist and
from it produces good.
Try, for exampic, a Little
Devil: 1 oz. Gin, L.oz.
rum;1/2 oz. Triple Sec,
1/2 02. lemon juice.
Shake well with cracked —
ice and strain into a cock-
tail glass. .
| Dear Me Fizz: If 1 can
{ draw a clear and distinct
idea of God from my
thought, may I not derive
from this an argument
demonstrating, the exis-
tence of God?

Fizz: Why nor? You
think therefore God is.

* Now here’s a clear and

distinct idea of a Cafe
Bonaparte: 1 1/2 07.
brandy, cappuccino. Pour
brandy into 2 coffee cup
and add cappuccino. Stir
well and top with
whipped cream.

Dear Mr, Fizz: God is a
concept by which we
measure our pain.

Fizz: OK, so love
hurts. Slip into a
Cerebral Hemorrhage: 1
oz, Kahlua, 1 02. peach
schnapps, 1 oz. Bailey’s
Irish Cream, several drops
of grenadine. Layer
Kahlua, peach schnapps
and Bailey’s Trish Cream
into an old fashioned
glass with ice and add sev-
cral drops of grenadine.
For God's sake, please do

not stir.

RECALLING some of
1997s productions for a
last curtain call under the
“best of” category is a little
unfair — especially in a
stnall space.

After all, how do you compare
the mega-musicals like Les
Miserables (a S90 disappointment)
with North Shore produced com-
munity theatre? The Jessie Richardson
(Vancouver's professional theatre awards) com-
mittce has been tinkering with the formula for
comparing large and small budget productions
fer years and has yer to please everyone.

Since I did not see every show on the
North Shore, never mind the rest of
Vancouver, this exercise in recollection is not
only subjective, it’s based on incomplete data.

That said, one production rises head and
shoulders above everything else I saw last vear.
The Vancouver Playhouse’s ballet without
dance, The Overcoat , was boldly imaginative in
conception and flawlessly executed by a mixed
professional and student cast under the direc-
tion of Morris Panych and Wendy Gorling.
One single evening of Vancouver theatre justi-

fied so many of disappointment.
Deep Cove Stage’s Rehearsal for
Marder unfortunately got
reviewed on the coat tails of The
Overcoat. A shame, because the
production was good enough to
make me forget | dislike murder
mysteries.
‘There were many highlites at this
year’s Fringe Festival. i still
tecall with emoiion local actor
Jay Brazeau cradling a terminally-ill baby in his
arms as a lonely sandman in the Angry Actors’
production of Famous Dead Stories We Just
Made Up.

Comedies outperformed dramas at this
year's North Shore Zone Theatre BC
Festival.

West Vancouver Little Theatre’s Rarcfoot
in the Park took the main prize on the strength
of a stellar performance from Caroline Heisler
but Presentation House Production’s British
farce Move Over, Mrs. Markham offered more
laughs.

The Arts.Club won the summer entertain-
ment stakes with Dean Regan’s naive bur ener-
getic tribute to local deejay Red Robinson, Red
Reck Diner.
