The article presents information about theater. For half its twenty-four season span of existence, the Actors Theater of Louisville has been home annually to the Humana Festival of New American Plays. Several plays have been shown in this festival. "The Queen of the Leaky Roof Circuit," limits itself to the threat of eviction, and does not deal with its consequence. Amazingly, even with this standby of melodrama, Breslin generates something less than fifteen watts of theatrical electricity. "Alone at the Beach," is a perfectly crafted light romantic comedy by dramatist Richard Dresser.
