Gallery Playhouse Will Promote Original Plays

By CAROL ANN YOUNG "The Gallery Playhouse plans to present original works and off-Broadway successes as well as standard drama and comedy," said Sid Casell, director of the newly-organized theater, 211 Giralda Ave. The Gallery's first production, "Third Best Sport," has been playing to turn-away audiences since Oct. 26. Casell attributes this initial success to the theater's location, selected on the basis of support in the Coral Gables area for his past theatrical ventures. 200 Plays Active in Miami theater for 30 years, Casell has produced and directed over 200 plays. Bob Campbell, Gallery technical director, has worked with Casell for the past five years. Lou Entin, business manager, rounds out the threesome. Entin became interested in the theater when his son won the drama award for two consecutive years at Bowdoin College. Mark Phillips serves as stage manager and Vera Campbell handles make-up. A civic project, the Gallery employs the talent of local semi-professional actors. It will operate on a year-round schedule, presenting about eight plays in a season. The Gallery building itself is a remodeled dance studio. "We built the stage and scenery ourselves," Casell added. The theater is air conditioned and has a seating capacity of 100. Campbell installed a communications system from the control room to the off-stage area to give a smoother performance of the sound effects. Local Artiss The Gallery also has facilities to display paintings of local artists. A mural, "Story of the Theater," by Bob Eliot, extends across the rear of the auditorium. In addition to the regular theater fare, Mrs. Ester Brezo, former drama instructor at the University of Miami, conducts dramatic classes for children with regular productions at the Gallery. Casell hopes to "develop the Gallery into a cultural center which will give a chance to the creative talents of the various arts." "Our third production," he said, "will be a musical, 'Once Upon an Orbit,' written by Joyce C. Reid, Gables woman who won first place in a state song writing contest."

"WHEN'S MOMMIE COMIN'?", wonders Thomas Swartz, 6142 SW 46th St., as he sucks his fingers with the pent-up impatience of youth. At his side is his buddy, Tim Partington Jr., 4022 SW 10th St. These boys are among the children who attend the kindergarten class at the First Presbyterian Church of Coral Gables. This picture was taken toward noon time, when the parents come to pick up their children.
