The ancient city of Jerusalem is taking on a new glow of excitement this year with an international celebration of the 29th anniversary of the city's reunification.

Through June there will be solemn ceremonies, songs and dances, sports and festivals, with spectators, participants and performers drawn from all over the world. On May 26 a canopy of laser beams will arch over the city to set the stage for a spectacular fireworks display as Jerusalem salutes two decades as a living laboratory of universality: different religions, cultures and lifestyles sharing this historic center of ancient civilization. The reunification anniversary also coincides with the annual Israel Festival, which runs from May 18 to June 14, and will act as a colorful prelude to the ceremonies scheduled for 1988 to mark the 40th year of Israel's independence. To hail Jerusalem as a spiritual, cultural and artistic focal point, a wide range of activities has been set for the reunification celebrations. There will be specially composed artistic works, sports competitions, exhibitions, street fairs and festivals, and a sound-and-light show for some 10,000 pilgrims who will gather from around the world.

Events related to the Israel Festival will provide many of the cultural activities during the celebration period, and there will be world premieres of several new dance and musical works, plus the new staging of Bizet's opera "Carmen" by Britain's Peter Brook and an opera-oratorio composed and Registration will be held Friday in the shopping center parking lot on the corner of Hobson Way and Lovekin, in Blythe.

Nor are they daunted by unfamiliar play titles. Plays with titles such as "Marathon 33," "Not in the Book" and "Playing With Fire" are among this year's offerings, alongside more familiar titles including "Major Barbara," "Hay Fever" and "Peter Pan."
