BSTC Visits G.C The World Will Never Be The Same! The company, led by ex Secretary of Stale Alexander Hog (Stephen Kingold). makes a grand entrance to begin their performance Dateline: September 30. 1982. II.-30 am. Greensboro College. Chia. the Moon Goddess, and her cohort Agent Orange were seen at this location today. Reliable sources say that the powerful god- dess has arranged a Powerplay between ex-Secretary of State. Alexander Hog. and the Enemy. Unless the bumbling, but very well intentioned. Hosanna Brothers can thwart Chia ' s attempts, the world as we know it could change for- ever. This was Powerplay III , or A Day at the Arm ' s Races , per- formed by the very talented Bond Street Theatre Coalition of New York City. Chia. motivated by our ecological negligence and the atti- tude that we can handle anything The multi talented members of the company show their musical abilities as the Heavenly Choir March ing Band that comes along, has created a very special video game, which she has placed in a rather unsuspecting truck stop. The purpose of the game is to decide world events be- tween power hungry politicians and corporate war mongers: in this particular instance, the opponents are ex-Secretary of State Alexander Hog and a man known to us only as the Enemy. The situation is not totally hopeless however, the hu- mans do have someone on their side: enter the Hosanna Brothers to the rescue. They are an entertain- ing pair of gods , not always ex- actly on top of the situation at hand: they are usually half-a-step behind Chia and her doings. Caught up in all these goings-on is Frisbee. the girl reporter who al- ways seems to stumble onto bits and pieces of information: Pyra- mid, the naive object of her affec- tions: and. of course, what would a truck stop be without truckers? All is well in the end — The Hosanna Brothers have the proper brain- storm in the nick of time, and save the world from disaster. The Bond Street Theatre Coali- tion is by no means ordinary the- ater. They are experts of commedia dell ' arte -street style, incorporating into their performances their many talents of music, juggling, acrobat- ics, and of course acting. These qualities add so much to the play, making a not-so-pleasant subject a very entertaining event. This is what the Coalition seeks to accom- plish — to reach as many people as possible and coax them into really looking at the world today and see- ing the many imperfections that are there.
