tributeto Israel and her 30 years df life. The celebration attracted the largest group of attendees ever to assemble for a single program at the new Jewish Community Center. We commend the many members of the committee for their diligence and creativity, the staff of the JCC for its wide-ranging professional expertise, and the Federation Board of Directors for its financial support. Well done Israel.^ Well done Omaha.

and old, sat under the stars to celebrate Israel's 30th anniversary in grand style. The program began with a Havdalah service led by Cantors from the three Omaha synagogues. Junior choirs from Beth El, Beth Israel and Temple Israel treated those in attendance to a rendition of several traditional Hebrew melodies along with the reading of the prayer service. Representatives from many local Jewish organizations took part in the service. In all, over 150 participated In the Havdalah ceremony, to which one observer claimed "This Is the most beautiful service I've ever seen hi my life." After the Havdalah ceremony, onlookers and celebrants were greeted by a fireworks display, which Illuminated the night sky with bursts of color as the crowd responded with "ooohsandaaahs". The highlight of the display came when a Star of David ringed with blue and white fireworks Was ignited. The crowd cheered as the neonlike star glowed for several minutes. With the end of the fireworks, the crowd moved inside the Center building where an Inter-generational disco dance was held. Approximately 600 people listened to WOW disc Jockey Dave * Wlrigertr "play" tunes which ranged from Glenn Mil-' ler to the Bee Gees. Those who came to dance were not disappointed as many came to "boogie down" on the dance floor. Members of a JCC disco class demonstrated their talents in line dancing, and older members showed their younger counterparts how to dance the "twist" and the "jitterbug." For those who didn't want to dance, an art exhibit by Regency Galleries was available for leisurely viewing. An ex- hlbit of children's art from students In the Hebrew Schools of the local synagogues was shown along with displays of Israeli-made goods ahderaftwork. The festivities continued on Sunday morning with a multimedia slide show and a carnival. The slide show, called "Israel-Alive and Singing," depleted the history of Israel from Its pioneer days to the present. Following the slide show, an outdoor carnival was in full swing. Hundreds of children who c^me to the ."Sunday events, mobbed the 20 rides and booths. Andrea Joffe, 10, and her sister, Suzanne, seven, were typical of the children enjoying . themselves: "We're really having fun and have been on some rides," Andrea . exclaimed.

Opening toe season in September will be BORN YESTERDAY (Sept. 16 - Oct. 1). Apart from being one of the funniest comedies ever to bold the stage, this is an American classic from the 40's dealing
with themes of vital Interest. Set in the nation's capltol against a background of government corruption, It Is the story of Billle Dawn's awakening and liberation.

to a big, brassy sound make this a .Gay Nineties spectacular. 13 RUE DE L7AMOUR (June 9 - 24), a farce by the French master of "bedroom comedy," Georges Feydeau, Is also the address where romance runs amuck on the street of love. Feydeau, sometimes called the Nell Simon of his day, specializes In concocting riotously funny meetings between characters who would have more piece of mind if kept apart. Filled with physical action, secret rendez-vous and Bizarre Ilasons, his plays have proven to be enormously popular to all segments of the theatre-going public. TWO FOR THE SEESAW by William Gibson opens May 20th and continues (or nine performances through June 4th. The original production starred Henry Fonda and Anne Bancroft riding a comic and emotional seesaw of love. The Center Stage production will feature M. Michelle Phillips as Glttel Mosca in her first assignment since directing FEIFFER'S PEOPLE earlier In the season. Jeff McKee will play Jerry Ryan, the attorney from Omaha who falls for the dancer from the Bronx. Directing SEESAW is Don Noel. The set design is by Chris Vesper who designed the costumes for ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD and co-ordinated costumes for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. The setting depicts two apartments, Jerry's and GHtel's, nestled together and connected by a lifeline rep-, resented by their two. telephones. . • On two levels, perhaps symbolic of the seesaw relation-' ship, the setting is also islandlike - a'home set In a void — backed by an abstract skyline of New York City. Information on tickets for both TWO FOR THE SEESAW as well as the 1978-79 Center Stage Series is available through the Theatre Department at the Jewish Community Center, 334-8200.
