The play is set in a bar, where a silent bartender listens to Wanda, a teacher who worshipped John F. Kennedy; Sparger, an actor; Mark, a Vietnam veteran; Rona "a hippie", and Carla, a starlet, describe their lives in the tur bulent 60's, and reveal the courses these lives have taken. The events of the day John F. Famous Since 1978 Quaker Village Mall (across from Guilford College on IV. Friendly Avenue) 852-0796 Kennedy was assassinated and the after shock of the tragedy are interpreted by each character, and help the audience to un derstand the significance of the assassination on the American public. The stories that each character has to tell are told with the strong language and fascinating detail that playwright Robert Patrick, hailed as "off-off -Broadway's most-produced playwright" is famous for. The play is directed by William C. Wendt, a professional actor who is currently assistant professor of drama at UNC-G. Says Wendt, "Kennedy's Children asks the question 'Are we a better nation of people because of the 1960's or was it damaging to our political and social culture?' " "Kennedy's Children" is an engrossing play for those of us who grew up in the 1960's remembering only bits and pieces, as well as for those who were old enough to clearly identify with the era. It is quite fitting that the final performance of the play on November 22 marks the 18th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Performances of the play are scheduled for 8:15 p.m. this Thursday through Saturday, and 2:15 on Sunday. Tickets are $3.00 for Guilford students and are available at the UNC-G Theatre box office.
