A VERY 'TALENTED troupe of actors and actres- ses are putting on "Strider" at the Attic Theater back of Greektown on Lafayette, downtown . . . the very dif- ficult musical play by Mark Rosovsky . . based on a Leo Tolstoy story. To be sure, it's a different type of show . . . taken through a very ambitious attempt by very good acting girls and gents, some im- itating horses. The troupe displays fine voices and energetic danc- ing as it offers the story of a horse's life as seen through his own eyes . . . The play is an intevsting mixture of people and horses, and Tolstoy's parable of man as an animal reflects the lives of all men. -- Joey Golden does a most admirable job as Strider, the horse . . . and his accom- panying actors give their utmost. • Attic Theater is in the round, with six rows of thea- ter seats surrounding a plain wooden floor stage and canvas-patched backdrop . . . perhaps the setting for a stable. People from all walks of life attend the ic Att Theater . . . Many presentations are masterpieces. Strider will be shown through Aug. 25 . . . an alle- gory about the tenacity of the pure in spirit . . . and a commentary on human in- justice.
