SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE CLOSED
JfOOR MIND ISN’T ONE OF THEM.
MDA has shown how valuable people
with disabilities are to society.
Talent, ability and desire are more
important than strength of a person’s
muscles. The barrier these people
can’t overcome is a closed mind.
Keep yours open.

New‘Generation’ returns to stage
By Sean McCarthy
Assignment Reporter
Encore. Last year’s acclaimed
family musical “From Generation to
Generation” makes its return to the
Jewish Community Center, 333 S.
132nd St., in Omaha. The musical,
which made its debut at the same
place, won the regional Theatre Arts
Guild award for Outstanding New
Script of 1996-97.
The performance tells the story of
Rose (Myrna Robbins), a grand
mother who is determined to make
her impression on her unborn grand
child, even though she may not be
alive when the child is bom. Rose is
dying of cancer when the play opens
up, set in 1992.
Determined to make an impres
sion, she creates an “ethical will” for
her grandchild. The will aims to give
wisdom to the grandchild through
everything that Rose has experienced
in her life.
Director Elaine Jabenis said the
musical is not as sad as the premise
sounds.
“We handle the theme in a very
funny way,” she said.
Mixing historical events and
adding Rose’s sentimental, humorous
takes on life, “From Generation to
Generation” received a standing ova
tion each time it was performed last
year.
Jabenis wrote the play’s precur
sor, a book by the same name, after
hearing music composed by Karen
Javitch.
Javitch later co-wrote and com
posed the music for the theatrical ver
sion. Jabenis said she was guided by
the composer’s music and words
“Everything dropped into the
scene has a clear meaning,” Jabenis
said. “It meshes beautifully.”
Most of the production’s staff
from last year’s performances
returned for this and next week’s

runs.
Jabenis said she made minor
changes to tighten up the story. One
included extending the role of a rabbi
- played by Stan Widman - through
out the entire play. A new character, a
comic angel, also was added. Jabenis
said she was delighted so many peo
ple returned.
“We asked every cast member,
some of the best actors in town, to
return, and everyone came back,”
Jabenis said. “It’s incredible.”
Jabenis said the universal themes
in “From Generation to Generation”
are as evident as the religious themes.
While Ruth tells of the horrors of the
Holocaust, she adds that non-Jewish
people, such as Oskar Schindler,
were equally important to remember.
“We are all here to help take care
of one another,” Jabenis said.
“From Generation to Generation”
opens tonight at 7:30. The musical
will run Saturday and Sunday and
Sept. 25, 27 and 28. Thursday shows
begin at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays at 8
p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for general
admission and $8 for students. Some
of the benefits of the performances
will go to the Westside High School
Band, the Nebraska Jewish Historical
Society and Prevent Blindness
Nebraska.

nudge), perhaps this format could
occasionally see expansion into clas
sic films - like “The Blues Brothers,”
“Top Gun” or “The Princess Bride” -
that still have a faithful audience.
And don’t even give me that crap
about being able to rent the movie
and watch it on your precious home
theater system in surround sound.
That huge screen and digital-sound
system just cannot be beat by any
thing you can buy at your local Best
Buy, Mega-Mart or Circuit City.
In fact, I defy ANYONE to show
me a home-theater system that can
beat the experience of catching a
movie in its original medium: the
movie theater.
(How does that line go? “Often
imitated but never duplicated ... ?”)
This is a rare chance to have an
active voice in how movie program
ming is done. Let’s not let it slip past.
Who knows? With enough sup
port, maybe we could even get an
occasional midnight screening of
“Evil Dead 2” or “Monty Python and
the Holy Grail.”
