Mr. Roberts
- comedy/drama
Las Cruces
Community Theater, 313 North Downtown Mall, just north of Las Cruces Avenue.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. This rowdy, realistic
saga of group of American sailors aboard a Navy cargo vessel in the Pacific
shows the crew suffering from that deadly boredom that is part of the routine
of war. To the ship's company, the Skipper is a cantankerous, small-minded
man and every one of them conspires against him as the ship pursued its
runs from a Apathy to Tedium and back again. They are on a cargo
mission, so little else is going to happen. That Mr. Roberts, (a
lieutenant) shared the crew's dislike for the Captain was one reason for
his popularity. Roberts joined the world to fight; he hates being
inactive almost as much as he hates the Captain. Privy to the crew's
hijinks against the Skipper, Roberts still feels it's his duty to retain
some discipline. $8 adults, $7 students, $5 children under 6. Season
tickets and senior discounts available. By Tom Heggen and Joshua Logan,
directed for LCCT by Gail Wheeler. 505-523-1200. www.lcctnm.org

Bataan Memorial
Death March
White Sands
Missile Range, 25 miles east on Highway 70. Call for times. Registration
opens in early December. The march commemorates the Bataan Death March.
The Bataan Memorial Death is a challenging march through the high desert
terrain of White Sands Missile Range, N.M. conducted in honor of the heroic
service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II,
sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very lives.
Choose between two routes. The GREEN route is the full 26.2 miles
Bataan Memorial Death March. Awards are presented to the top two
finishers in each GREEN route category. Those marching the 26.2 miles
will be able to experience, in part, what soldiers endured during their
long forced trek through the Philippines. The BLUE route is approximately
14.2 in length. This shorter march is designed for participants who
would like to memorialize Bataan but do not wish to march the full 26.2
mile route. There are NO awards given for this march.
