...work--his first ballet ever --called Field, Chair and Mountain, and audiences on A.B.T.'s current national tour cheer them on at every performance. In a New York City Ballet premiere last week, Jerome Robbins created a sort of Day-Glo urban paradise in which dancers seemed to cavort almost weightlessly to the celestial scritterings and screakings of Steve Reich's Eight Lines...
...really possible that eight penniless teenagers can clean, paint, and redecorate, let alone locate, an apartment in New York within hours of arriving in the city? Will the parents of these wayward youths really remain quietly buried in the suburban depths of Sandusky, Ohio, while their children cavort across the streets of New York missing school, cheer leading practice and Sunday night dinner?

In a fantasy urban setting, the comedian will cavort with the Krofft puppets, tell stories about his own childhood, and impersonate several characters, including Chills, a hip saxophone player, and Carlotta, a savvy fortuneteller. The weekly half-hour may be a long way from the Sunset Strip, but it's not in Captain Kangaroo's neighborhood either...
