The Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre will stage a Night of the Living Dead the weekends before and after Halloween, at Motor City Youth Theatre's (MCYT) home. "We love them and they love us and it's working out nicely," said Nancy Florkowski, MCYT director and founder. "I like to promote adult theater, too. They were in a situation and this looked like theatre heav en to them." Ron Williams of Redford, a Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre board member who is producing the zombie- ttrs. filled play, said his group is pleased to "try something different" by staging the show in Livonia. "We are renting the space for the show, but they've (MCYT) been very cordial with us." Williams said his group has used space in the Ber- wyn Senior Center in Dearborn Heights, but that the site, "in the round on a gym floor," isn't the most con ducive to theatre. "Our goal is to be our own community theatre," he said. "We're in the process of trying to see where we go from here." Williams isn't sure if his group eventually will leave Dearborn Heights, but also noted that "right now Livonia seems to be supportive of the arts." He said the Dearborn Heights theater had staged two adult plays each year, along with a youth pro gram during the summer. The group won't continue its youth theater at the Grantland, where Florkowski produces youth classes and plays year-around. "We're hot sure if we're going to try to still run a children's program out there (in Dearborn Heights) during the summer. We're flying by the seat of our pants right now," Williams said. •-.•.» ^-:. "The biggest challenge for us is to get people to see us... people aren't looking for a show in Livonia. It's teUiW.:- tapping a new audience for us." ' •••-!*•:- Mutual interests He hopes the Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre will build a solid relationship with Florkowski's group. Williams agreed to leave the Living Dead set on stage % for use by MCYT in an upcoming production. He plans to meet with a Grantland crew member to talk AT THE GRANTLAND about other ways his group can assist MCYT.
