Comedy drama reached a new high with sparkling performances from a cast that responded to enthusiastic audiences. That singular bit of Americana, the high school girl slumber party, provided the backdrop for such perplexities as teen-age vernacular, a mysterious prowler, prank- intentloned boys, bewildered oldsters, and a nonplussed maid. This particular slumber party---which obviously gave rise to the play title HQ- Boys Allowed---was concluded happily with all problems resolved. With the p1ay's final curtain came the resounding plaudlts that indicated audience approval.
