This is by no means a standard musical. Those who go looking for a romantic story or! crooning love songs will not find them. What they will find is the continuation of Anthony Newley'a adaptation of universal themes and conflicts for musical theater (as begun several years earlier in "Stop the World, I Want to Get played into an even broader format. It's bright, witty, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes tender and touching, often slightly bawdy, loud, soft, sad, happy, idealistic, cynical when Newley and his collaborator, Leslie Bricusse, set out to create "a musical entertainment," as they call it, they go after the whole spectrum of human experience. All of which is a way of saying that if you enjoy a contemporary show with zing than sing, you'll probably like "Greasepaint." There are many reasons for liking the way the Centenary College theater department presents it.

Robert Buseick has directed the musical as a fairly small, intimate show-in-the-round with an extremely simple but workable set, and he has his actors literally leaping with life on the stage, in the aisles and hanging from the rafters of lighting standards. The set consists of platforms: one in the center which is a game board for playing the game of Life, one in a corner that acts as a sort of throne for whoever happens to be establishing the rules of the game. Mood and dimension depend entirely on the lighting, which C. L. Hol-loway has provided with his usual efficiency and effectiveness.

Onto this barren field comes first a chorus of urchins wearing rags, tatters and clown-face makeup the onlookers in Life who observe and comment but rarely participate, except when ordered to do so by their rulers. Following them are Sir, a pompous, epicene windbag who stands for tradition, the inherent power of wealth, the pleasures of the flesh and the delight of manipulating the ind LHKTII I James Coco tMMuurr mS Pierremont Mall FIATUMSAT: mi. 10 ii Ft or them, picking up the pieces, and putting them back together so that hopefully the game can be played with a little more understanding in the future. Performances, individually, range from very good to better than average, but over-all high marks must be given to the whole cast for the incredible energy level they sustain from start to finish. There's almost enough raw force expended on the stage to avert the upcoming energy crisis.

Fortunately, it's harnessed here in a well-rehearsed, cohesive thrust. Doug Wilson's performance as Sir booms with authority and struts peacock-style in its vanity, while Byron Well's playing of Cocky is physically good, even though he could use more vocal power in his songs. Anne Gremillion is fine as the Kid, a trumpet-blowing assistant to Sir whose sympathies eventually shift to Cocky (and those who recall her elegant portrayal in "Imaginary Invalid" last year may well be amazed at her versatility). Dwight Ewing has an effective moment in the spotlight as the Negro who beats Sir at his own game, though he, too, needs some work in the singing department. The1 urchins, all good, are played by Leslie Conerly, Anne Marcus, Anne Dele Aslin, Susan M.

Chiasson, Brenda Lane, Kerri Rivers, Wendy Buchwald, Barbie Goetz, Emily Lieber, Mary Jo Trice, Gay Caldwell, Debra-Hicks, Alma Lloyd and Sherl Washington. Patti Loftin, who also contributed the show's choreography, has a brief, graceful pas de deux with Wells, and Byron T. Wells plays the Bully hired by Sir to whip Cocky into line. Small-scale but effective accompaniment is proveded by David Upton, Marc Owens and Wayne Boyd, and Isabel Rosenbloom is vocal coach. Garland Riddle and Barbara Acker created the artfully tatty costumes.
