THERE are also many viable theater options outside of the theater district. One unique show that also features tables and cocktail service is Forbidden Broadway, a cabaret-style, musical spoof shown in the Terrace Room, a function room turned theater at the Park Plaza Hotel (Arlington stop on the Green Line, 357-8384).

While the so-called cocktail party failed to produce immediate results, it was nonetheless considered a psychological breakthrough on the long road to a political solution. The participants did agree to form a working group of officials to continue discussions. Perhaps more important, Kampuchea will be a main topic of Sino- Soviet talks in Beijing...
