THEATER SPOTS

Ensemble Theatre's production of David Feldshue's Miss Ever's Boys opens tonight. The play, written in 1989, is about the infamous Tuskegee Institute Study in which a group of black men with syphilis were left untreated-though told they were being treated-to study the disease's effects on them. The study was part of the research on penicillin that began in the 1930s. Although Feldshue's drama about a black nurse and the group of black men under her care is fictionalized, it is based on real sources that include Senate testimony, medical articles and field interviews conducted in Alabama in the 1930s. The central issues in Feldshue's play are timely in our plague-ridden age. The use of “human guinea pigs" in the search for a cure for AIDS is still debated in situations where dying patients are given placebos during experiments with new drugs. In Miss Ever's Boys this situation is complicated by the fact that racial concerns fuel the need for the experiment. Performances of this absorbing drama of moral and ethical conflict continue through February 20 at the Civic Theatre, Friday and Saturday at 8 pm, Sunday at 7:30 pm (except February 20) and Sunday January 30 and February 20 at 3:30 pm. Tickets are $14, $12 students and seniors on Friday and Saturday; $12 and $10 on Sunday. For reservations call 321-2930.
