Through a Turkish folk- song, Gonca Gursoy took the audience through an imaginary countryside. The audience members were brought back to American reality throughout the evening by Chuck Truett ' s unnerving prose, Leah Hughes ' humorous dramatic reading, a melodic duet by Patricia Hatch and Lyle lennings, and particularly by a down home bluegrass trio. There were also joumeys given by classi- cal musical presentations on the piano. Carol Duffy, Tracie Bell, and Dr. Deborah Woolley were all very entertaining.
