With utmost care being taken to avoid a clash of cither time or artistic temperatment. two separate casts are feverishly rehearsing two separate productions of the short play, Edward Albee'S The Sandbox for performance the same night by the Barnstable Comedy Club's Monthly Workshop group
The night is next Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 8 in the Barnstable Village Hall.
This is still another bold first experiment for the club, and it will give members and guests a most unusual inside glimpse of the works in modern play production.
Only by I eelng such a demonstration on the boards can there be realized how much difference a different director and a different cast can make in a play production
One of the two directors courageous enough to participate Is David Laning who was recently seen at the Village Hall as Scrooge in Dickens' Christmas Carol.
The other director is Bruce Martin.
This is his first piece of actual direction here, but by no means his introduction to the Comedy Club stage.
In the
David Laning cast are
Elizabeth Edwards,
David Jones,
Paul Pllia,
Bettina Dinsmore and
Louis Jacobucci.
For his cast,
Bruce Martin has assembled
Barbara Cotton.
Nancy Sears.
John Ounther and
Ralph Weston.
While this show is, of course, primarily for club members, guest may buy tickets at the door next Tuesday for a dollar each.

"You are deluded."
"The reason I remember it so well is that -- "
"You lie."
"He played one of his l favorite funny, funny jokes on me. Which was to arrange a meeting and then totally stand me up. Which was super super funny. And then he would completely deny it. The first time he ever did this was in 1979. In Harvard Square."
"You fantasize."
"And I believe that this lunch we had together was the first initial swirl, in what was to be my final -- I was circling the drain. For the last time. I was a horrible person! I was the worst type of person a person could be. Also, I was completely out of my mind. My whole entire life up to this point had been just ...
