in "The Twilight of the Golds," his
first professional production.
While working as a temporary secretary,
Tolins began writing "The Twilight
of the Golds" on his lunch
breaks, when, as he said, "no one
cared who I was." Now, many are taking
notice of the 26-year old Harvard
graduate, not only as a talented playwright
but also as a "theatrical
prophet."
The play look at the Golds, a tightknit,
liberal Jewish lamily that resides
in New York. Their blood runs thick:
The Golds are loving and inclusive to

blend of traditional and contemporary
sounds to arrive at brilliant
performances that satisfied the ears
and the eyes. Each stroke of the

the performance amazing dead-perfect

The Kodo drummers exhibited

mosexuality.
The polemic begins when the
Golds' pregnant daughter, Suzanne,
gets her fetus' DNA tested. While the
child is healthy in every aspect, it has
a 90 percent chance of being homosexual.
What should we do? Suzanne
and her husband struggle with the issues
of bringing a gay son into an intolerant
world, and they even consider
abortion.
The play hinges on this issue, forcing
the characters to explore the emotional
and moral consequences they
may have to face, depending on their
decision to keep or abort the child.
The most surprising and ironic face
of "Twilight" lies in the idea that homosexuality
might be detectable in
utero. This "fictional" concept of
Tolins' isn't so far?fetched, given the
discovery of the so-called "gay gene"

paintings and sculptures of voluptuous,

be on display until Feb. 27 in the

The Kodo also incorporated the

performance with hand cymbals,
amplifying every sound the
cymbal can make from sizzle to

Since the scientific discovery, Tolins
has had to answer may questions regarding
die issues "Twilight" presents.
He has acknowledged that the discoveries
have required him to be wellbriefed
on the scientific as well as psychological
aspects of fetal-gene testing.
As proof of his new-found expertise,
Tolins has held open forums
with top scientists who are researching
psychological and genetic links to
homosexuality.

that everything he writes about

After three standing ovations, the
Kodo returned to the stage for a
finale, which showcased their agility
and speed. They involved the
crowd by getting the entire Koger
Center to clap along as the band
memoers ran mrougn aisies exciting
the audience. Afterward, Kodo
received three more standing ovations.
The Kodo drummers, who are a
magnificent ensemble, are sure to
last in memory for a lifetime. They
demonstrated that barriers of language
and thousands of miles can
be broken with the universal voice
community
that to its fullest. It's not really a calculated
attempt to reach anyone in
the audience."
Tolins tries to write each character
evenly so each is developed equally,
homosexual or not. In reference to
"Twilight," he said, "I tried to put a
gay character on stage who is just a
human being who is written as fully
as the other characters on the stage,
without making him a hero and the
others villains.
"I wanted to give the audience an
emotional response. I want the audience
for the two hours of the play to
have a relationship with the gay
man...and then examine their own attitudes."
The powerful emotional issues
"The Twilight of the Golds" confronts
will provide fodder for debate long
after it has left Austin.
