Reed McAlister (Alan Caroe) and Elena Carson (Karen Caroe) are in a Midwest airport waiting for flights to take them to their next destinations in Steven Dietz’s “Shooting Star,” which opened Friday, Jan. 15, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 31 at the Black Box Theatre on Main Street Downtown. Unlike those flights, which are grounded by winter weather, this show takes off. There is so much to like: the honesty and sweetness of the performances; the willingness of the director (Ceil Herman) to let these two powerful characters tell their story with simple sets, props and costumes; Rafael Medina’s sound de- sign; and Peter Herman’s light design. Reed and Elena, who had been lovers for 22 months more than two decades before, meet by chance at the airport. He has moved on from their Bohemian life- style of the ’70s – married, a child, a career in business, a cellphone and laptop; a blue suit and a white shirt. Karen and Alan Caroe star in the No Strings Theatre Company production of Steven Dietz’s “Shooting Star,” now playing Even his briefcase and luggage are black.

Review by Zak Hansen Las Cruces Bulletin

Is the American Dream dead? That question is central to playwright Thomas Strelich’s sardonic comedy “Neon Psalms,” coming to the stage of the Las Cruces Community Theatre this Friday, Jan. 22, di- rected by Algernon D’Ammas- sa. D’Ammassa, veteran actor, writer, director and adjunct professor at New Mexico State University’s Creative Media In- stitute, calls Strelich’s play a “comedy about darkness.” Set in a dilapidated trailer desiccat- ing in the Mojave Desert near Boron, California, site of the world’s largest open-pit Boron mine, the play centers on Luton Mears, retired heavy equip- ment operator, who has settled into the desert and an uneasy truce with his born-again wife Patina. This relative peace is shat- tered by an unexpected visit from the couple’s daughter, Barbara, recently divorced and set on moving back home until she’s back on her feet.

By Susie Ouderkirk Las Cruces Bulletin

Students from English and science classes at Mesa Middle School orches- trated an event that included a mock archaeological dig and the subsequent media coverage of the findings during the week of Jan. 11 -15. Students from Mrs. Senoski’s 6th grade English classes and Mrs. Bradley’s 6th grade science classes teamed up and divided into a variety of groups consisting of archae- ologists and reporters representing newspapers, magazines, television, radio and documentary production. The students studied the process in- volved with establishing an archaeologi- cal dig and then mapped out several plots a couple hundred yards from the north side of the school. Assistants ‘salt- ed the mine’ and the students, in small groups, headed out to test their hypoth- eses while searching for buried arti- facts.
