Drama tellsstory of
addictions and 'junk'
Knight Life
at
The Detroit Institute ofArts
By Joseph Kraus
O NE OF the sad truths of our
modern society is that so many of
the devices and aids that our
technology has given us have gone from
being mere tools to being our masters.
Addiction, the process of a tool's
taking over, happens more often than
any of us like to believe. It's never pret-
ty when a self-sufficient person develops
into a slave of his or her particular
"junk"; it's never pretty when a person
becomes a Junkie.
Junkie: Portraits of Women and
Transition is the latest offering by Ann
Arbor's Common Ground Theater En-
semble. It deals with the problems of

addiction by presenting the stories of
several women suffering from addic-
tions of one kind or another. "The play
reaches out to the addict existing in
each of us; addictions widely defined to
include those to food, other people, ap-
proval, work, books and cigarettes as
well as liquor or drugs," writes
Maureen Martin, the show's producer.
The Common Ground Theater Ensem-
ble is the longest standing experimental
repertory theater in Michigan. Since its
inception in 1971 it has been dedicaced
to producing plays that address issues
of social change, and has strived to ef-
fectively use the talents and skills of the
differently-abled and minorities.
In keeping with its tradition, Com-
mon Ground has arranged the produc-
tion of Junkie to be handicapped ac-
cessible; it is providing child care as
well as interpreting the show in
American Sign Language. As well, the
proceeds from last evening's opening
show will go to the Ann Arbor
Women's Crisis Center.
Recent Common Ground productions
have been powerful and well done.
Last fall's presentation of Children of a
Lesser God depicted the story of a
romance between a hearing-impaired
woman and a hearing man. Their most
recent productions include: Mad
Madonnas, Bitch You Crazy, False
Promises, For Colored Girls Who Have
Considered Suicide When the Rainbow
is Enuf, and last year's Equus.
Junkie: Portraits of Women and
Transition, runs May 4-6, 11-13 and 18-
20. Friday and Saturday shows begin at
8 p.m. and tickets are $6. Sunday shows
are at 2 p.m. with tickets available for
$5. All shows are in the Trueblood
Arena Theater in the Frieze Building.
Tickets are available in advance at
CTC outlets and at the door as well.
Far from an evening of lighthearted
escapist amusement, Junkie promises
to be an evening of moving and thought-
provoking drama, one that should not
be missed.
