'70s dynamic duo lacks comic
chemistry on big screen

I am not a fan of law enforcement, plain and simple.
That’s not to say I am a fan of crime; it just seems to me
that a good deal of our boys in blue do nothing more than dole out
tickets for doing 56 in a 55 or bust our harmless little hippie
friends for holding a dime bag left over from that last jam band
festival.
Now, I know they are just upholding the law, and if you feel I’m
in the wrong for abhorring cops for those reasons, chances are good
you too have what it takes to become a cop.

by Stephanie

Staff Writer
Experience the human condition and an evening of Pulitzer Prize
winning authors with the next set of One Acts presented in I.G.
Greer Arena Theatre today through Saturday.
Presented by the department of theatre and dance, this set of
one acts includes “The Zoo Story” and “Clara.”
Written by Edward Albee and directed by Rickey G. Glover, “The
Zoo Story” is a day in New York’s Central Park. The
play opens with the character, Peter, played by Scott Hoppmann,
sitting on a park bench reading like he does every Sunday afternoon.
A man named Jerry, played by Timothy E. Young, interrupts Peter’s
reading to tell him he has been to the zoo. The play consists
of their interactions and dialogue, which ends with a twist.
