Williams' < opens Woi By SCOTT PRUDEN Staff writer Twenty years ago, a small community theatre emerged in Columbia and quickly joined the ranks of its neighbors at Town Theatre and USC. Since that time, Workshop Theatre, which sits at the corner of Bull and Senate streets, has consistently brought some of the best of old and new theatrical productions in Columbia. This fall, Workshop kicks off its 21st season, and the season promises something for everyone. Already on the boards is Tennessee Williams' classic, A Streetcar Named Desire, which opened Sept. 9 and runs through Sept. 21. Directed by David Avin, who has made a life's devotion out of directing Williams' work, Streetcar has already received rave reviews for its opening weekend.

Cartoonist Gary Larson, whose "The Far Side" comic appears in more than 800 newspapers, will take a 14-month break from his work beginning this fall, his syndicate said Saturday. "Even revolutionaries need to refuel," Universal Press Syndicate president John McMeel said. Larson, 38, who lives in Seattle, will stop distributing new cartoons Oct. 30 and will begin again Jan. 1, 1990. Larson, who has said in the past that he sits down at his drawing table and "gets silly," is famous for cartoons about cows that honk at humans, dinosaurs that smoke and women with beehive hairdos. During Larson's hiatus, Universal Press will distribute more than 1,000 When you turn 18, regist r. ?_ 1.1. n s quiCK. 11 s eus is Services Inc. ea Since 1973 Family Planning & Birth Control Services Trained Counselors Speakers for Schools & Civic Groups Someone Who Cares 2 9750 tl&pP Columbia + ' - 4.SIJ| fi ycc.^3 ygp fGE x ber 15 - 7:30 p.m. iwnship s $5.00 ation 252 9721 nd Evangelical Churches Fellowship icy and Local Christian Book Stores cn ISIONfiL :RfiTERNITY :GINS TONIGHT ' Lounge BA Building ?

During his time off, Larson wants to rest and travel, said spokeswoman Diane Galante. She said Larson is on a trip outside the country. A collection of Larson's cartoons organized by the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum has been touring U.S. museums the last two years, and collections of his cartoons have consistently been on the bestselling charts.
