Friday, September 12, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Conferring over play production arrangements are, from left:
Nancy Brassert, Nancy Gurwin and Edgar A. Guest III.

she believes the combination
of seasoned professionals and
young amateurs makes "a
good mixture" for the
production.
Gurwin sees Funny Girl as
the first step in fulfilling two
needs for Detroit's Jewish
"family": the need for an on-
going Jewish theater to serve
the community and the need
to utilize the theater facilities
now available at the Center.
"So many other com-
munities have their own
theaters," she said during a
break in rehearsals. "The
Jewish community should
have its own theater. (The
Center) is more than a health
club and we want to prove
that we can pack this place."
Gurwin's sentiments are
echoed by others in the cast:
"When I was growing up,
there was an active Jewish
community theater," says
Marsha Rofel, who plays
Emma in the current produc-
tion. "Now there's nothing."
She calls on Detroit's Jews
to support "legitimate Jewish
theater in the city," support,
not only from folks eager to
see plays, but from those in-
terested in working on them
as well. "There are so many
people out there with the ta-
lent. Why not share with
their own people?"
Why the sudden push to
revive theater at the Center,
long dormant since the move
from Meyers and Curtis? And
why Funny Girl?
Organizers wanted to ap-
peal to as large an audience
as possible on the first out-
ing, says Gurwin. `.`As a pro-
ducer, when you sit down and
decide what will draw people,
this is it. It's a wonderful ve-
hicle."
This is also her third go-
round with the Broadway
play. Having done the show
so many times made the
early preparation easier, says
Nancy Brassert, who is di-
recting the show together
with Edgar A. Guest III. The

challenge, she continued, is
coming up with new bits of
"business" to make the action
fresh for both veterans and
the cast members who are in
Funny Girl for the first time.
The timing of this theater
revival (Diary of Anne Frank
is slated to run in November
and Annie Get Your Gun in
March) seems to have some-
thing to do with creating a
momentum leading to the
building of a permanent,
large theater at the Center.
"You feel that if you start
now, eventually we'll get big-
ger. This show sets the pace,"
says Michael Goodman, a
veteran of the Center theater.
Goodman has been working
on attracting groups to
attend Funny Girl — syna-
gogue groups, women's
groups, youth groups — but
his precise title is tough to
define. The show's handbills
read: "The Jewish Commu-
nity Center, in conjunction
with Michael Goodman, pre-
sents Funny Girl."
"So call me 'conjunction,' "
he says, puffing away at his
cigar.
Goodman -turned serious
when he said it is time to
turn the theatrical mantle
over to a new generation of
Detroit Jewish artists. He
seems to be consciously
grooming his successors.
"It's for the young fellas
and girls, to give them a
chance to spread their wings.
The Center can give them
their chance to perform and
to have fun. This is the
greatest."
The "greening" of Center
productions should have a
similar effect on Center audi-
ences, attracting Detroit Jews
who are not old enough to
remember the old DeRoy
Theatre.
"I don't think anyone
should miss (the show), no
matter how old you are. Kids
my age should see it," says
Danny Gurwin, Nancy Gur-
win's son who, at age 13, is
