Cocktail of the week
Long Island Iced Tea
Long Island, N.Y. can be a pretty exciting place. In 1992, Amy Fisher, the "Long Island Lolita," had an affair with married, body shop owner Joey Buttafuco and shot his wife in the face. By the late '90s, Puff Daddy was throwing wild parties in the "Hampti-Hamps" (The Hamptons).
But apparently, Long Island wasn't always as exciting as it has been in recent history. According to lore, in the late '50s, wealthy and bored Long Island housewives invented the drink out of necessity. They didn't want their husbands to notice liquor missing from their home bars, so they poured a little out of every bottle into a glass. The drink looked like ice tea so they could get loaded and remain discrete about it at least until they fell into the pool.

than two years. The Sunshine Game, Macy's first one-act play, won an Association for Theatre in Higher Education award last year. Macy has seen the play performed twice and is excited to see the play in full production. The play is a dark Jacobean drama for modern times about a group of blind people who decide to get revenge on seeing people. Macy enjoys the bare-bone-style of playwriting. "Using only dialogue, you can find unique ways of giving history of a character and protraying what drives them," Macy says. He is currently writing one-act plays and other fiction, and he hopes to write a full-length play in the future. Sam's

Sam's Club is Frossard's first one-act play, also, although he has always been into theatre and writing. Frossard is submitting the play into several competitions, including the Kennedy Center playwright competition. The play is an absurdist comedy about a strange young man who has a series of blind dates in the private club that he owns and operates. "It's amazing to see the work come to life," says Frossard. "I get to see the characters created in my head in flesh and blood." Frossard lives in Santa Fe, N. M., and is writing another one-act play with similar themes to Sam's Club, though it focuses more on feminism.
