46	SALES TAX RECORDS :	[]
47	Advertising agencies and other service companies are exempt from city and state sales tax in most locales -- but the exemption comes at a price of exhaustive records and rigorous reviews .	[]
48	To justify their exempt status and avoid penalties , these businesses must show once a year that each and every transaction on which they did n't pay sales tax was a legitimate business expense .	[]

51	Ms. Bogart , an acclaimed creator of deconstructed dramatic collages that tear into such sacred texts as Rodgers and Hammerstein 's `` South Pacific , '' is decidedly downtown .

54	She held her fire with her first production at the Trinity earlier this season .

56	Now , with the opening of Maxim Gorky 's bourgeois - bashing `` Summerfolk , '' Ms. Bogart has laid her cards on the table .

57	Hers is a hand that will test the mettle of her audiences .	[]
58	For Ms. Bogart , who initially studied and directed in Germany -LRB- and cites such European directors as Peter Stein , Giorgio Strehler and Ariane Mnouchkine as influences -RRB- tends to stage her productions with a Brechtian rigor -- whether the text demands it or not .	[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 8, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "GPE" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 55, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 8, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 84, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 11, "span_id": "span_3", "start": 106, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 16, "span_id": "span_4", "start": 120, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 17, "span_id": "span_5", "start": 141, "tags": [] } ]
59	And Gorky , considered the father of Soviet socialist realism , did not write plays that easily lend themselves to deliberately antirealistic distancing techniques .

60	Gorky was a loyal if occasionally ambivalent proletarian writer committed to enlightening the masses with plain speaking rooted in a slightly sour version of Chekhovian humanism .

61	And `` Summerfolk , '' penned in 1904 as a kind of sequel to Chekhov 's `` Cherry Orchard , '' is a lawn party of Russian yuppies engaged in an exhausting ideological fight to the finish between the allrightniks and the reformers .	[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "WORK_OF_ART" } }, "length": 10, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 7, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "DATE" } }, "length": 4, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 33, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 61, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "WORK_OF_ART" } }, "length": 14, "span_id": "span_3", "start": 75, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_4", "start": 114, "tags": [] } ]
62	Along the way there also are lots of romantic dalliances .	[]
63	Wisely Ms. Bogart has kept Gorky 's time and place intact .	[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 11, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 27, "tags": [] } ]
64	Despite the absence of samovars -LRB- and a tendency to turn the furniture upside down -RRB- , the production is rich in Russian ennui voiced by languorous folk sporting beige linen and rumpled cotton , with boaters and fishing poles aplenty .	[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 121, "tags": [] } ]
65	But beyond this decorative nod to tradition , Ms. Bogart and company head off in a stylistic direction that all but transforms Gorky 's naturalistic drama into something akin to , well , farce .	[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 50, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 127, "tags": [] } ]
66	The director 's attempt to force some Brechtian distance between her actors and their characters frequently backfires with performances that are unduly mannered .	[]
67	Not only do the actors stand outside their characters and make it clear they are at odds with them , but they often literally stand on their heads .	[]
68	Like Peter Sellars , Ms. Bogart manipulates her actors as if they were rag dolls , sprawling them on staircases , dangling them off tables , even hanging them from precipices while having them perform some gymnastic feats of derring - do .

EMPLOYEE MANUALS :

37

Revising employee manuals on pensions , health care and other subjects costs over $ 25,000 a year for Bert Giguiere , president of Professional Agricultural Management Inc. , a Fresno , Calif. , provider of business services to farmers .

38

An employer leaves itself open to a great deal of liability if its employee manuals do n't reflect the most recent laws , he says .

39

But the ever - changing laws are usually so complicated and confusing that `` you need professionals to help you ; you ca n't do it yourself , '' he adds .

SALES TAX RECORDS :

[]

47

Advertising agencies and other service companies are exempt from city and state sales tax in most locales -- but the exemption comes at a price of exhaustive records and rigorous reviews .

[]

48

To justify their exempt status and avoid penalties , these businesses must show once a year that each and every transaction on which they did n't pay sales tax was a legitimate business expense .

[]

49

When the Trinity Repertory Theater named Anne Bogart its artistic director last spring , the nation 's theatrical cognoscenti arched a collective eyebrow .

Ms. Bogart , an acclaimed creator of deconstructed dramatic collages that tear into such sacred texts as Rodgers and Hammerstein 's `` South Pacific , '' is decidedly downtown .

57

Hers is a hand that will test the mettle of her audiences .

[]

58

For Ms. Bogart , who initially studied and directed in Germany -LRB- and cites such European directors as Peter Stein , Giorgio Strehler and Ariane Mnouchkine as influences -RRB- tends to stage her productions with a Brechtian rigor -- whether the text demands it or not .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 8, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "GPE" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 55, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 8, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 84, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 11, "span_id": "span_3", "start": 106, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 16, "span_id": "span_4", "start": 120, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 17, "span_id": "span_5", "start": 141, "tags": [] } ]

59

And Gorky , considered the father of Soviet socialist realism , did not write plays that easily lend themselves to deliberately antirealistic distancing techniques .

60

Gorky was a loyal if occasionally ambivalent proletarian writer committed to enlightening the masses with plain speaking rooted in a slightly sour version of Chekhovian humanism .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 0, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 10, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 158, "tags": [] } ]

61

And `` Summerfolk , '' penned in 1904 as a kind of sequel to Chekhov 's `` Cherry Orchard , '' is a lawn party of Russian yuppies engaged in an exhausting ideological fight to the finish between the allrightniks and the reformers .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "WORK_OF_ART" } }, "length": 10, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 7, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "DATE" } }, "length": 4, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 33, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 61, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "WORK_OF_ART" } }, "length": 14, "span_id": "span_3", "start": 75, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_4", "start": 114, "tags": [] } ]

62

Along the way there also are lots of romantic dalliances .

[]

63

Wisely Ms. Bogart has kept Gorky 's time and place intact .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 11, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 27, "tags": [] } ]

64

Despite the absence of samovars -LRB- and a tendency to turn the furniture upside down -RRB- , the production is rich in Russian ennui voiced by languorous folk sporting beige linen and rumpled cotton , with boaters and fishing poles aplenty .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "NORP" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 121, "tags": [] } ]

65

But beyond this decorative nod to tradition , Ms. Bogart and company head off in a stylistic direction that all but transforms Gorky 's naturalistic drama into something akin to , well , farce .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 50, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 127, "tags": [] } ]

66

The director 's attempt to force some Brechtian distance between her actors and their characters frequently backfires with performances that are unduly mannered .

[]

67

Not only do the actors stand outside their characters and make it clear they are at odds with them , but they often literally stand on their heads .

[]

68

Like Peter Sellars , Ms. Bogart manipulates her actors as if they were rag dolls , sprawling them on staircases , dangling them off tables , even hanging them from precipices while having them perform some gymnastic feats of derring - do .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 13, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 5, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 25, "tags": [] } ]

69

There are moments in this `` Summerfolk '' when the characters populating the vast multilevel country house -LRB- which looks like a parody of Frank Lloyd Wright and is designed by Victoria Petrovich -RRB- spout philosophic bon mots with the self - conscious rat - a - tat - tat pacing of `` Laugh In . ''

`` Talk hurts from where it spurts , '' one of them says .

[]

71

The clash of ideologies survives this treatment , but the nuance and richness of Gorky 's individual characters have vanished in the scuffle .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 81, "tags": [] } ]

72

As for the humor that Gorky 's text provides , when repainted in such broad strokes -LRB- particularly by the lesser members of the ensemble -RRB- it looks and sounds forced .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 22, "tags": [] } ]

73

Ms. Bogart does better with music than with words when she wants , as she so often does want , to express herself through Gorky 's helpless play .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 4, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 122, "tags": [] } ]

Here she has the aid of her longtime associate Jeff Helpern , whom she appointed Trinity 's first - ever musical director and whom she equipped with a spanking new $ 60,000 sound system and recording studio .

75

For Gorky , Mr. Helpern provided an aural collage of Debussy and Rachmaninoff , which is less a score than a separate character with a distinct point of view .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 5, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 4, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 16, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 7, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 53, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 12, "span_id": "span_3", "start": 65, "tags": [] } ]

76

Like Brecht , and indeed Ezra Pound , Ms. Bogart has said that her intent in such manipulative staging of the classics is simply an attempt to `` make it new . ''

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 5, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 10, "span_id": "span_1", "start": 25, "tags": [] }, { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "PERSON" } }, "length": 6, "span_id": "span_2", "start": 42, "tags": [] } ]

77

Indeed , during a recent post-production audience discussion , the director explained that her fondest artistic wish was to find a way to play `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow '' so that the song 's `` original beauty comes through , '' surmounting the cliche .

[ { "labels": { "ner": { "entity_type": "WORK_OF_ART" } }, "length": 26, "span_id": "span_0", "start": 146, "tags": [] } ]

78

The danger that Ms. Bogart seems to be courting here is one of obfuscation rather than rejuvenation , a vision so at odds with the playwright 's that the two points of view nullify , rather than illuminate , each other .
