T-t'T i 4 "yej'T i elrt" yTlff' 'T 6-n THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Jan. 4, 1979 Music, Dance, Drama, Comedy Highlight Winter Play Season Theater Lee Becker Theodore, who was the original Tomboy in "West Side Story." Theodore, like many other dancers, would create magic moments on stage and then, puff, they were gone. It was his idea to preserve the choreography of such greats as Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille, Bob Fosse and Michael Kidd. Penny Fuller, now an Atlantan who recently played the title role of "Peter Pan" at the Alliance Theatre, will star in Simon's "California Suite." James Broderick, who plays opposite Sade Thompson in the warmly received television series, "Family," will be the son in the moving drama, "Da," in which a father and son relationship is explored. By Helen C.

Smith Constitution StaH Writer Piece by piece, the winter play season of the Theater of the Stars is taking shape. The six-play season, which will open Tuesday, Feb. 6, at the Peachtree Playhouse with the "The American Dance Machine," a musical, now also contains a Neil Simon play, a Tony Award-winning drama still playing on Broadway, a British sex comedy and a murder thriller. The sixth play and its star have yet to be named, said Chris Manos, producer of Theater of Stars, who had hoped to include The Gin Game" in the season but was unable to tie that one up. The stars who will appear in the plays The play, by Hugh Leonard, won a Tony Award.

Rachel Gurney, star of numerous British stage, screen and TV productions, will be headlined in "No Sex Please, We're British." Manos has decided to reduce the winter play season from 12 weeks to six weeks, with each production playing from Tuesday through Sunday for one week -only. For the past three years, plays have run for two weeks each. By dropping back to one week of performances per play, Manos estimates that Theater of the Stars will end up with 80 to 90 per cent of house capacity on season tickets alone. "We are just under 70 per cent now, and the subscription campaign has just started. We have had a phenomenal renewal percentage, somewhere between 85 and 90 percent, and that is excellent for us." All plays on the winter play season are presented at the intimate Peachtree Playhouse, 1150 Peachtree St N.E.

For subscription information, call 252-8960. "Families," a play for middle and high school students, will tour throughout the state and metro Atlanta area from Jan. 9 through May 12. The play is an Academy Children's Theatre production and is company-developed and directed by Frank Wittow, artistic director of the Academy. "Families" is a collage of experiences in traditional and contemporary family living: family relationships, rivalries, needs, conflicts, celebrations, separations, reunions.

The drama explores the search for identity within the family structure, the need for growth in responsibility, the trauma of loss of loved ones, the discrepancy between true family living and media-created family images, and the enrichment of family closeness. The Academy is also touring "The Flexible Firemen," a play for elementary age children. Written by Ethel McFarlan, an Atlanta playwright, and directed by Frank Wittow, this play uses rhyme, rhythm, language and the recreation of an ancient Chinese folktale to tell a story about the human potential to change and grow.
