WHATS WAR REALLY LIKE?
Walk a Mile in My Shoes:
CONTEST
"I didn't know what really happened in Vietnam.
The war started before I was born, and ended before I
was five. School history class hadn't caught up with it
yet and few people that I knew would say more than it
'was a mistake.' So I called the only Vietnam veteran I
knew..."

Independent Eye Announces
1988/89 Spoken Word Series
The Independent Eye, Lancaster's
resident professional theatre company,
annonced the premier of its new Spoken
Word Series recently and released this
season's schedule of events at Eye
Theatre Works in downtown Lancaster.
The Spoken Word Series is an
offshoot of the Eye's successful effort's
in earlier years to bring poets, dramatists
and fiction writers to Lancaster for
periodic readings of their works.
This year, as the Eye moves in the
direction of becoming a regional arts
center, it has decided to expand the
events into a formal series incorpoating
a variety of forms.
The series will open Oct. 16 at 7:30
p.m. with Three Women's Words, a
poetry concert featuring Mary Jean Ilion,
Mary Tisera and Jane Todd Cooper.
Together, the three will bring a
woman poet's point of view to the Eye's
stage by reading from their respective
work which, though related in spirit, is
unique in perspective and attitude.
Nov. 27 will see the return to the
Eye Theatre Works of Sidney Sulkin,
the Washington, D.C.-based poet,
dramatist and playwright whose No
More Prophesy was produced two
seasons ago on the Eye mainstage.
Sulkin will read from a variety of his
work.
The Independent Eye will kick off the
holidays when Conrad Bishop, the Eye's
producing director, resident playwright
and actor reads from the work of Charles
Dickens Dec. 11 and 18.

festival will open Friday night with a
