celebrates Two Seasons<br>
</span></font><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>Two Men, Two
Women, Two Shows in Two Weeks<br>
<br>
To celebrate the end of their second season of theatre, <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Sirius Idaho Theatre</span></i> is bringing two shows
to the stage, a two-man play followed by a two-woman play. The final two shows
of their 2005-06 season include <i><span style='font-style:italic'>A Walk in
the Woods</span></i>, by Lee Blessing and <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Collected
Stories</span></i> by Donald Margulies. All performances will be at the
Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place>.<br>
<br>
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>A Walk in the Woods</span></i>, nominated
for both the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize in 1988, takes place in a
“pleasant woods on the outskirts of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Geneva</st1:place></st1:City>.”
The story follows the differences dividing two arms negotiators, one Soviet and
one American. It is a refreshing and humorous look at the frustrations inherent
in the negotiating process and allows us to understand the humanity of these
wise and decent men. Directed by Luis Guerrero, the cast consists of two men:
Andrey Botvinnik, a 57 year old career Soviet diplomat, played by John
Dickinson and John Honeyman, a 45 year old American negotiator, played by
Gregory Newell Smith. <br>
<br>
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>Collected Stories</span></i>, directed by
Forrest Sears, follows the interconnected lives of two women. An accomplished and
respected short-story writer and teacher, Ruth Steiner, played by Valerie
McIlroy, has carved out a comfortable life for herself in a <st1:place w:st="on">Greenwich
Village</st1:place> apartment she has occupied for decades. Lisa Morrison, a
child of suburban privilege, played by Isabella Whitfield, is a callow yet
talented graduate student and aspiring writer when she meets Ruth and offers to
become her assistant. Over six years, in as many scenes, <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Collected Stories</span></i> eavesdrops on Ruth and
Lisa as their relationship evolves (from mentor/protégée to loving friends to
adversaries) and ultimately disintegrates -- touching on issues of age,
artistic license, and betrayal.<br>
<br>
The two plays will be staged at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in
consecutive weeks. <i><span style='font-style:italic'>A Walk in the Woods</span></i>
opens Thursday, April 6 at 7: 30 pm, with additional evening performances
on April 7 & 8 and a Saturday matinee April 8 at 2:00 pm. <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Collected Stories</span></i> opens Thursday, April 13
at 7:30 pm, with additional evening performances on April 14 & 15,
and a Saturday matinee April 15 at 2:00 pm. Tickets for the opening night of
each play will be only $5 for all seats. For the other performances, ticket
prices will be $15 Adults, $10 Seniors, and $5 Students. Tickets are available
at BookPeople of Moscow and at the Kenworthy box office an hour before each
performance.<br>
