The days of spacious front porches, log cabins with dog trots, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People, tin lizzies, and ‘shooting’ the anvil are just a few of the Presented by the Tarheel Association of Storytellers, to be held May 6-7,1983, at the Hilton Inn and Winston Square Am phitheatre, Winston-Salem, N.C.

Off The Yard: African-American Story telling Conference Little Theatre Presents “The King and I” Broaden Your Horizons One of the most magnificent of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical hits, “The King and I,” will be the next presen tation of the Little Theatre of Winston- Salem, Inc. for 14 performances beginning May 13. A Saturday matinee will be held at 2:30 on May 21 and a Sunday matinee at 3:15 on May 29; there will be evening per formances at 8:15 on May 13,14,17-21 and 24-28. Based upon the novel, “Anna and the King of Siam,” taken from the real-life adventures of an English governess to the royal children of the Siamese court in the mid-19th century, “The King and I” has taken its place alongside such other im mortal Rodgers and Hammerstein col laborations as “Oklahoma!,” “Carousel,” “South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music,” since its premiere run of three years - minus nine days - from 1951 to 1954 in New York City. It is the story of a decorous British widow who is brought to the bizarre Asiatic country in 1860 to teach Western ways and ideas to the king’s numerous wives and children. It recounts the conflict that develops between the school marm and the despotic-but-often-childish and charming ruler of the country - who is a confused combination of ruthlessness and goodness, of pride in his own native tradi tions and an eagerness to leam of Western ways. A romantic undertone, never quite open ly expressed, accents the relationship bet ween the fiercely majestic monarch and the foreign woman he employs, but learns he must respect. Their struggle, to vin dicate each one’s own moral and cultural viewpoints, ends in a truce of fond admira tion for each other’s integrity. Threaded into the story are some of the most popular songs ever written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein 2d. Just to mention the titles of the hit songs is to bring back affectionate recollections. No one can fail to be stirred again and again to hear “I Whistle a Hap py Tune,” “Hello, Young Lovers,” “March of the Siamese Children,” “(Jetting to Know You,” “We Kiss in a Shadow,” “Something Wonderful,” “I Have Dreamed” and, of course, the sprite- ly, “Shall We Dance?” “The King and I” belongs to an age that produced - aside from the Rodgers and Hammerstein miisicals - “My Fair Lady,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Guys and Dolls,” and “The Music Man.” Such an incredible array of talent that created them may not come again in generations. Tickets are $9 for weekday evenings and the Sunday matinee, $6 for the Saturday matinee and $10 for Friday and Saturday evenings. Children, students and senior citizens will receive a discount and group rates are available. The Box Office at 610 Coliseum Drive is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Opening night festivities on May 13 include a wine and cheese party at 7:30 in the theatre lobby before the show.
