Cosby stai From staff reports Sabrina Le Beauf, best known as Sondra on The Cosby Show, will play the leading role in William Shakespeare's As You Like It at the Koger Center for the Arts June 22-24. The production will be presented by the Shakespeare Theatre at the Folger in Washington, D.C. As You Like It played at the Folger until June 18, and is coming to Columbia for this special performance. As You Like It is a blithe, romantic comedy, drawing its strength from the character of Rosalind, one of Shakespeare's most attractive and witty heroines. Rosalind is banished from Duke Frederick's court to the forest of Arden, where she disguises herself as a man and relies on her wits and play-acting to survive. The role of Rosalind is undertaken by Le Beauf, whose switch from television to the stage has won her praise from numerous theater critics this spring. Michael Killian of The Chicago Tribune described Le Beauf as "endearingly winsome," and Mel Gussow of The New York Times wrote, "She is an articulate, classically trained actress quite adept at playing Shakespeare. As required by Rosalind, she has the talent to alter her personality as well as her IpPMF Bf u ill JHBSiiSMl Soviet band rocks Red Sq B> RON BAKKR News editor Efrfl The Soviet group Kino's new - *lv! album Groupa Kroovy (pronounced "Groupa Kroyvay") is the first ma- "Good Night jor release in the United States by an one of the b< underground Russian band.

In addition, members of the Folger company teach on campus two days a week during fall and spring semesters. USC interns Paris Peet, Lisa Rhoden, Melanie Parent, Steve Harley, Jim Hughes, Linda Khoury, Dale Simington and Jan Notzen will also be appearing in the production. Interns went to Washington in August of last year to take classes, rehearse and perform. When the show closes June 24, the interns will be going their separate ways after banding together for 10 months. ffi B USC graduate Paris Peet will travel to North 1 Carolina to teach speech and acting at East Carolina. He will also be directing. Linda Rhoden plans to work in a theater in Missouri until Aug. 6, and then return to USC to 1 attain a master's degree. Although she admits that it will be hard to return ? to a university after being a part of a professional 1 company, she hopes to take what she has learned and observed and apply it to her own style. "It'll be a growth experience," Rhoden said. Tickets are $15 for the public and $10 for students and military personnel.
