[ OS ]  Graduate school -- Broadway-style by Elizabeth Maupin
DAYTONA BEACH -- The waitress's feet are tired. She limps across the floor, one shoe on, one shoe off, collapses at a little table and swings a leg up to the tabletop.
"Ooh! My feet! My poor, poor feet!"
But Anita Endsley is singing, not speaking. And her audience isn't a couple of customers with potential tips. It's teacher Diane DiCroce, who until a few months ago was performing on Broadway in Les Miserables and is now coaching Endsley toward a similar goal.

[ STARS ]  BRIAN MURRAY, SEEMINGLY ALWAYS EMPLOYED, IS TOGETHER AGAIN WITH HIS MAID MARIAN IN BECKETT/ALBEE
by ELLIS NASSOUR
He�s back, and Marian�s got him � again! The "he" would be Brian Murray, blessed by almost always being theatrically employed as actor or director; and the "Marian" is � honestly, folks, isn�t there only one Marian? : Marian Seldes [the almost royal Marian, a.k.a. St. Marian of the Proscenium]. The dynamic duo, who long ago became intimate friends, are onstage together again �having the time of their lives� [says Murray] for the first time since Albee's The Play About the Baby. The production this time around is Beckett/Albee, reviving four rarely performed one-acts by the playwrights.
