The drama, sponsored jointly by the Washing- ton PTA, the Point Richmond Civic Group Hi-Pointers, West Side Improvement Club, Pt. Richmond < Businessmen's Association, Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, First Methodist Church, Pt. Rich- Mond Baptist Church' and one individual donation, Was pre- sented by three pro- fessional actors, and followed by a discuss- ion, led by Stanley Bass, Executive Director of Jew- ish Family Services, of Ala- meda and Contra Costa Coun ties. The Actors, from the Plays for Living theatre group were Jack and Marietta Schmidt, and Steve Bradley. They acted out a brief play in- volving a couple and a counselor, which gave a concise picture of the root of some problems affecting their children. Life- like enough to spark off some stimulating discussion afterward, the play brought out the fact that too many of us are will- ing to live with out problems without sol- ving them, and afraid to communicate with those who are closest to us. ENJOY A STRAUSS WALTZ? "The Great Waltz", Strauss' delight- ful, romantic comedy is awaiting with its glorious music at the Richmond Auditorium both tonight (Friday, May 12) and Saturday, May 13. P re - sented by the West Contra Cos- ta Light Opera Association, this is the second in a series of three music- als. Single tickets may be purchased at the door, for $1. 50 to $3. 50.
