<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0.3in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The magic of
theater is comprised of many elements.<SPAN> </SPAN>The words of the
playwright’s story come to life through the lens of a director’s
vision.<SPAN> </SPAN>Actors work individually to mold multi-dimensional
and realistic characters; utilizing what the playwright and director have
given.<SPAN> </SPAN>Still more artists lend their talents and visions
through the creation of appropriate costumes, props, scenic elements, sound, and
lighting effects in order to help accent the overall vision of the
director.</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Off stage, programs, tickets, and posters have been
designed and printed.<SPAN> </SPAN>A much appreciated crew of volunteers
manages the box office, sound and light boards; and tends to the demands of the
show.<SPAN> </SPAN>The lone stage manager ensures that everyone is kept
informed as to how much time remains prior to the start of the
“magic.”<SPAN> </SPAN>He then monitors the playwright’s words, the
director’s vision, and the designers’ beautiful creations to steer through the
show’s currents and present the story to those who have come to hear and
see.<SPAN> </SPAN>It all seems quite romantic.</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Romantic or not, theater at its best gives its audience
members pause to think about the direction of their lives and
society.<SPAN> </SPAN><I>The Twilight of the Golds </I>does just
that.<SPAN> </SPAN>It originally opened in 1993: before the mapping of the
genome, before Dolly the cloned sheep, and before human organs could be grown in
scientific laboratories. Major advances have made this story even more relevant
and more vital. The subject matter is no longer operatic fantasy, but prophetic
reality.</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Each year, technological advances surpass those of a
moral nature exponentially.<SPAN> </SPAN>In fact, some would say that each
technological advance is met with a moral regression; that society is not
mature, stoic, or wise enough to handle the responsibility which accompanies
each advance in technology.<SPAN> </SPAN><I>The Twilight of the Golds</I>
takes a look at an advancement whose day was just around the corner at the time
the play premiered.</SPAN></P>

born, would you still love it?<SPAN> </SPAN>If you knew your child was
destined to have abnormal challenges in its life due to autism or juvenile
cancer, would you fight for its right to exist?<SPAN> </SPAN>Given the
opportunity to terminate a pregnancy because you knew the stresses and
challenges that accompany the caretaker of a child growing up with crooked
teeth, thick glasses, or retardation, would you?<SPAN> </SPAN>Just some
questions for thought as you prepare to attend
this production.</SPAN></P>
