Next Door
Continued from preceding page
From the sayings of Chairman Wong — Pearl City
acted in 14 productions over
the past nine years. He has
performed in area dinner
theaters, and is a 10-year
member of the St. Dunstan's
Theater Guild at Cranbrook.
Mr. Christopher describes
The Boys Next Door as "a lit-
tle gem" dealing with the ex-
ploits of four dissimilar men
with various degrees of men-
tal competence.
"You probably could look at
the story as an attempt for
these guys to fit into a 'nor-
mal world' — whatever nor-
mal is. There are scenes that
will just break your heart and
others that will lift you right
up and make you feel so
wonderful," he says. "It's
basically a comedy. Tom Grif-
fin, who wrote the play, com-
bines comedy and pathos ex-
tremely well."
Mr. Christopher says the
script's poignant and emo-
tional elements attracted him
to the story. "When I first
read it there were a couple of
parts where I just cried. But
the director doesn't leave you
down. There's a very touching
scene where Barry's father
comes to visit, and when he
leaves it's very sad. But right
after that Arnold does some-
thing crazy, so you come right
up again."
"He (playwright Griffin)
wrote such a wonderful piece
that my emotions were all
over the place and I loved it."
Mr. Christopher expects au-
diences will experience that
same mix of emotions. "If
they don't, we're doing some-
thing wrong."

Schecter group home in Oak
Park, Arlene Schofield, hopes
the actors learned how
challenging it is to provide
"special needs" individuals
with the skills required to
live harmoniously. "I know
that we work very hard at
teaching them to live
together," says Ms. Schofield.
"It's not the easiest situa-
tion because they all have
very different personalities.
We work hard at sharing and
trying to respect each other's
privacy and belongings. It's
kind of an ongoing process."
She says residents form a
bond through social events.
The men attend bowling and
bingo nights, Palace sporting
events, religious events at
Temple Beth El and socials
with other group home
members.
Ms. Schofield, who has
managed the home since
November, says teaching
responsibility and accoun-
tability is stressed. Each resi-
dent is required to help with
cleaning and other household
chores. Many in the home
also hold light assembly and
packing jobs with the Jewish
Vocational Service and New
Horizons organization. Some,
like Gil Golden, hold more
traditional jobs. Mr. Golden is
a janitor at an Erb Lumber
store in Royal Oak. Of his
home, Mr. Golden says: "It's
like we're a family almost."
