Arti-graduate student. By MARY JO HOWARD BY KANSA SOHWAH Kansan Reviewer "The Shadow Box" is a play about death and dying. Except that no one dies. Instead, the constant shadow of death forces the characters to try to pack full each living moment. This becomes an exercise in the game. You can never live enough to be ready to die. The action is focused on three patients, Brian (Steve Mokofsky), Joe (Tom Swift), and Felicity (Laurie VanderPel-Hosek) and their families who live in three cottages on the island. The play is dispointingly ploeless, it must depend on Review strong acting and direction to carry it off. Both are present to aby bring out the main thrust of the play—how to deal with living before death, ATHELINE L.

BEVERLY IS A Magnificent tramp, acting flambipity off Brian and his lover, played by Mark Dutton. But he is a more moving at the end, wondering where their dreams went, and knowing they'll never get the chance to find them before Joe Grungebock-Tedesco's direction is brilliant. His fast pacing keeps a potentially draggy play from becoming boring. But his actors sometimes forget to hold for laughter. Unubr is a master set of workings and platforms which both works well and looks completely natural placed amidst giant pine trees. $233,900 grant awarded to finance old-age training, center for elderly A $239,000 federal grant awarded last week to the KU keratonology center will finance a keratonology training program and develop an education in Kansas City, Kan., beginning next year.
