Theater Workshop Boston ( Riot, Tribe, Creation ) has had difficulty in getting through Boston's red tape, but it appears that everyone has been paid off now and Headplay is showing twice a night Thursday through Sunday. The Workshop is designed for "environmental and experimental" theater, housed, ironically enough in a defunct flower market. The "stage" is a large room with cushions clumped about for the audience. Barbara Linden and author Reichman, who directed the play, have used this informal atmosphere to advantage. The action takes place on low platforms in the corners, in and around the audience, emphasizing the ties...
...Welcome to Pickfair," said the thin, halting voice on the tape recorder. "Thank you for the good things you've said about me in the past." Mary Pickford-superstar of the century's teens and 20s, whose ringlets and little-girl look and marriage to Fellow Superstar Douglas Fairbanks made her "America's Sweetheart"-was greeting reporters at her Beverly Hills mansion.

What makes Groove Tube look good (and this is really the only thing to recommend it) is the fact that it makes commercial television look very bad by comparison. But everyone knows how bad commercial television can be; Groove Tube needs only to offer a half-decent alternative to look better...
...pauses, looks down, tries to collect his thoughts. You know he's deadly tired. (For as you walk in he's saying to the press agent, "You mean those last guys weren't from a radio? That's why I thought I had to e-nun-ciate into their tape recorder. I wanted to be sure they'd get the stuff.") While he also seems to be sincerely troubled-as he repeats his case for the 11th time that...
