Custom Contact Lenses

The Jewish Ensemble
Theatre culminates its in-
augural season with a produc-
tion of Slow Dance on the Kill-
ing Ground,
William
Handley's exploration of
human guilt, rebellion and
desperate search for love June
13 through July 1 at the
Jewish Community Center's
Aaron DeRoy Theater in the
Maple-Drake building.
Slow Dance on the Killing
Ground, is directed by Jewish
Ensemble Theatre Artistic

Director Evelyn Orbach. Its
three-member cast features
veteran actor David Fox, who
was named Best Ensemble
Actor by the Free Press,
Detroit's Roosevelt Terry
Johnson and newcomer
Stacie Passon.
Slow Dance on the Killing
Ground is an inter-racial
psycho-drama involving the
suffering of three seemingly
disparate individuals and
their hopeless longing for
social acceptance and self
worth. A brilliant ghetto-
driven black teenager rages
in rebellion against the terri-
fying absence of love in his
life; an elderly Holocaust sur-
vivor questions his right to
live while knowing that he
abandoned his wife and child
to the Nazi terror.
There is a charge. For infor-
mation, call JET, 788-2900.
Tickets are also available
through Ticketmaster,
645-6666.
