COVER STORY

" ALL HEART, NO PAY: COMMUNITY THEATER" Story by George Ringwald
They travel countless miles, rehearse for six weeks, put up with crummy reviewers -- and for what?

OUTDOORS

"A MULTICULTURAL BACKPACK" by Patty Harvey
"Recipe: March 12 lively foreign teenagers with variable hiking experience and English language ability 10 miles
into high, rugged backcountry mountains. Give them six middle-to-geezer-aged adults for guidance,
no roads, phones, bathrooms, music or TV, toss in a pinch of rain and mix for four days.
Result: East-West, young-old, tyro-pro served up in a piquant blend in the magical venue of the marble Mountains.
Can you do this? Can I?
