Bus trip set to NYC show

A bus trip to New York City to see The Roswell Follies: An Alien Revue at the Triad Cabaret Theatre, 158 West 72nd St., is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 6. The bus will leave the Winterthur Museum parking lot at 10:30 a.m. for the 3 p.m. performance and will return at approximately 8 p.m.

Joyce Hill Stoner, art conservation, is lyricist and co-composer of The Roswell Follies, and Scott F. Mason, Trabant University Center, developed the concept and helped write the script. The masks were designed by Ken East and Gina Scarnati of the UD Professional Theatre Training Program.

A review in This Month on Stage called the revue sketches "funny, intelligent and original" and described the play as the story of four aliens kept in the Roswell, N. M., holding facility "while trying to convince a xenophobic government and hilariously conflicted jailer that they really are harmless."

The reviewer in the September issue of Off-Off-Broadway Review wrote that the show had "inventive melodies and rhymes" and an "exceptional cast of musical comedians."

The cost of $42 per person includes roundtrip transportation, theatre tickets and a Triad brunch with a choice of eggs benedict, omelet, french toast, hamburger or chicken salad and dessert and coffee.

The bus trip is sponsored by First Stage, an organization dedicated to developing new theatre. For information, call 831-8092.
