Dear Liar, Deathtrap and the
classic play Harvey. Plans are
being formulated for a special
"Sunday Sunday" program
for singles, to begin in April,
which includes a mini-tour of
Meadow Brook Hall, buffet
and a play.
Theater of a different type
is offered at the Attic Theatre
in Detroit. "We are non-profit
with a resident theater com-
pany consisting of local ac-
tors," explained Attic
spokeswoman Carol Pastor.
"We produce original or off-
beat plays that do not
necessarily have mass appeal
but are good works. They
don't necessarily fill the
house, but they're in-
teresting."
The first play in the Attic's
season is Dogman's Last
Stand, which will run
through Oct. 4. It will be fol-
lowed by a play based on
Fielding's novel Tom Jones,
Tamer of Horses, The Hostage,
and Learn to Fall. On one Fri-
day night of each production,
the Attic will offer a Singles
Special, with $2 off the price
of a ticket for those who re-
quest it. Contact the box of-
fice for dates of the singles
nights.
The Attic also offers a con-
servatory program, with fall
and winter courses in such
areas as acting and im-
provisation, for beginners to
more experienced actors.
The two theaters affiliated
with Wayne State University
begin their seasons in Oc-
tober. The Bonstelle Theatre
plans five productions, The
Music Man, Peter Pan, Wild
Oats, The Broken Calabash,
and Kiss of the Spider
Woman, adapted from the
novel upon which the
Academy Award-winning film
was based.
The silver anniversary
season at the Hillberry
Theater opens with William
Shakespeare's King Lear, and
closes with the two-part adap-
tation of Charles Dickens'
novel The Life and Adven-
tures of Nicholas Nickelby. In
between, the theater will pre-
sent a new production titled
Whistler's Play, about a libel
trial in England which
centered around a Whistler
painting that is currently in
the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Also on the schedule are Aun-
tie Mame, Tartuffe, and The
Dresser.
For people who want their
culture on the screen, rather
than in a live performance,
the Detroit Film Theater,
located in the Detroit In-
stitute of Arts, is just the
ticket. DFT presents movies
not usually seen in the
Detroit area, such as the ac-
claimed French,film Jean De

Florette, and the Swedish pro-
duction My Life as a Dog.
Films, the majority of which
are foreign productions, are
presented on Fridays, Satur-
days and Sundays, usually
twice each evening.
_ Another film series at the
DIA is the Afternoon Film
Theater, a year-round pro-
gram . shown at 1 p.m.
Tuesdays through Sundays.
Movies are grouped by
themes, such as the current
series on American films dur-
ing the Cold War.
There is also plenty going
on in the Detroit area that
does not require sitting in a
darkened theater and wat-
ching music, plays or films.
The Detroit Institute of
Arts offers special exhibits
throughout the year. Special
previews are available to
members of the Founders
Society of the DIA, a group
which supports the museum,
financially and with
volunteers. Membership in
the Founder's Society, which
has a Junior Council for
younger people, entitles you
to free entrance to exhibits,
discounts in the museum gift
shops, and an invitation to
"Under the Stars VIII," a
dinner-dance held in
November. The Junior Coun-
cil sponsors "Fash Bash" each
summer.
The "Wassail Feast," held
in December, is another event
worth considering at the DIA.
Participants are immersed in
Old English merrymaking,
with an authentic menu,
entertainment and music.
Armchair travelers will en-
joy the DIA's "World of
Adventure" series on Sundays
and Thursdays. Adventurers
narrate films of their travels
during each session. "Sunday
at Three," a new series at the
DIA, will include film, lec-
tures, tours and gallery talks
on a variety of topics.
The other museums in the
Detroit cultural center are
also full of activities. At the
Detroit Historical Museum
special exhibits are ongoing.
Of particular interest may be
the first display in the
costume gallery, "The Seven
Ages of Women," featuring
clothing from pivotal times in
a woman's life, from infant
through old age. Garments
from 1810 to 1950 will be
shown.
The Historical Museum
holds workshops for those in-
terested in particular topics,
such as ceramics, porcelain
dolls and Edwardian music
box dolls.
Workshops are also
available at the Detroit
Science Center. Subjects in-
clude astronomy, crystals and
electricity. A film, entitled
