Remedy for All That Abuse? Snipe, Snipe, Snipe
Jar the Floor is set in a household thats run on negative energy, a place where survival depends on getting in ones full quota of daily digs. Cheryl L. Wests combustible comedy-drama, which opened last night at the Second Stage Theater, assembles four generations of black women for a 90th-birthday party for the family matriarch, which is less an occasion for cake and candles than snipes and snide asides. Nothing and no one is immune to the harsh scrutiny of these highly opinionated and long-suffering women, especially the women themselves. Gal, I shouldve killed you when you was born, the nonagenarian MaDear (Irma P. Hall) informs her feisty middle-aged daughter, Lola (Lynne Thigpen). Its no coincidence the elderly womans name is pronounced something like Medea: there is a toxic quality in the sense of grievance that she has passed on to Lola, a bequest that establishes the regimen for the poisonous relations between all the mothers and daughters who inherit her genes..

MURDER ON LONG ISLAND
THERE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE Cheryl Pierson and those who do not; those who contend she is a helpless victim and those who say she belongs in jail. Less than a year ago, Cheryl was a popular cheerleader at Newfield High School in Selden, L.I. She was studying to become a beautician. Today, at 17, a demure brunette, she is out on bail awaiting trial for murder - charged with having hired someone to kill her father, James Pierson, because, she says, he sexually abused her. Though reported instances of the abuse of children by their parents have risen in this decade, for many in our society incest remains the unspeakable, often inarticulable taboo. The Pierson case juxtaposes Cheryls word against the silence of her father, and Cheryls allegation has polarized the townspeople of Selden, as well as what remains of her small family. Of course I believe her, says James Pierson Jr., Cheryls 20-year-old brother. How could she make something like that up?

THEATER: TO GILLIAN, ON THE DEATH OF A WIFE
DAVID, the central character in Michael Bradys new play at the Ensemble Studio Theater, is a man without hope. He stands on a Nantucket beach under a starry sky, makes a wish and then adds: Im certain I wont have the wish I wish tonight. His pessimism is well-founded. Precisely two years after his wife, Gillian, died in a boating accident on her 35th birthday, David wishes only for one impossible miracle - that the woman he loved will come back to life. Yet nothing is impossible in the theater when a playwright is willing to take chances. And Mr. Brady, whose play is titled To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, soon takes the plunge. Not long after David makes his wish, Gillian comes bounding on stage, looking none the worse for death in her white shorts and striped jersey.

A Lifeline Runs From Upstairs to Down
He is almost 91, and has been in his rent-controlled, $145-a-month apartment on Greenwich Street for 53 years. He has seen the commodities brokers come and go, and watched as the homesteaders, the millionaires and the movie stars replaced them. I wouldnt be surprised if I were the longest-standing resident of TriBeCa, Marty Mayer said last week at the home of his upstairs neighbor and friend, Cheryl Moch. But their building has been sold, and the new owner is demanding that all of the tenants with month-to-month tenancies leave. Because of rent control, Mr. Mayer cannot be evicted, but he can be relocated. And that would take him away from Ms. Moch, upon whom he relies for daily necessities and whose family has become his family, too..
