"We live lives of total commitment to the theater," a member said. "We work as an ensemble not only on stage but in life." The group's outdoor theater is located on a 165-acre ecological demonstration ranch and the actors operate theater-related enterprises, including ironwork, "In-Life Costuming," leatherwork, carpentry, pottery and publishing. THE FHI.ST publishing venture was translation of Moliere's "Don Juan." And the group is thoroughly professional. "Such actors are rare," stated Terry Kay of the "Atlanta Constitution" after a performance of "Don Juan" at Georgia Institute of Technology.

The ensemble attracted the attention and excitement of audiences and critics in Chicago, Atlanta and Miami last fall on its first tour since settling in New Mexico in the spring of l'M9. The Old Town Studio performances will be TAP's first of its 1971 season. Tickets may be obtained at the door and reservations obtained from the box office. Old Town Studio, 1208 Rio Grande MV, will present the Theater of All Possibilities, a national touring ensemble with a home south of Santa Fe, performing "Faust," a work in progress, Saturday and Feb. 7 at 8 p.m.

"Faust" is the Theater of All Possibilities' adaptation of Goethe's work which will be performed at the group's second annual summer festival his August with four other plays "Hamlet," "Prometheus Bound," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "McNeckel's Commune." "WE WANT to perform the essential plays." a co-director said. "Our festival this summer is called "Theater of Individuality' and it presents the great heroes or individuals of western culture." The group is presenting Faust as the classic epic hero of Western Civilization. Dissatisfied ith scholarly knowledge and purely intellectual quests, he makes pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, and enters into a search through experience with the devil as his guide. If Faust becomes satisfied with any experience, he becomes the devil's slave. THE TAP ensemble is composed of 24 actors Id jk "if1 'I 2 D.

Another special stage effect will come at the end of "The Skater's Ballet," which is to be presented with "Winnie the Pooh." The ballet is a dance picture of a skating party set in the romantic Victorian age. The choreography, sets and costumes combine to create a modern version of a Currier and Ives print, ending in a sparkling snowstorm on the Popejoy stage. Other surprises are being planned to make the Albuquerque Children's Theatre debut at Popejoy Hall an affair for all children to remember. Tickets are now available at Popejoy box office.

.1 iw play was repeated at Highland High School Theatre and was a complete sellout. This past summer, the Children's Theatre did four performances of "House at Pooh Corner" at Highland High, and crowds were so large that children had to be turned away. According to Bill Hayden, director of Albuquerque Children's Theatre, the move to Popejoy Hall is a natural step forward, for not only will it enable more children to see live children's theatre, but it will also be a more enriching theatrical experience. EFFECTS CAN be created on the Popejoy stage which cannot be duplicated anywhere else in Albuquerque. For example, when Pooh wants to see what the honey bees are up A 1 querque Children's Theatre is celebrating the beginning of its eighth year of producing children's shows by moving operations to Popejoy Hall.

ON THE weekend of Feb. 20 and 21, the group will begin its Popejoy Hall season with three performances of the children's classic, "Winnie the Pooh." Performance times are 1 and 3 p.m. on Feb. 20, and 2 p.m. on Feb.
