THEATER

TINY ALICE. Who is Alice? Where is she? And who cares? The questions are being asked by theatergoers, students of the drama, psychologists, and even by the playwright, Edward Albee, about his deliberately confusing but moderately engrossing mystery.
POOR RICHARD. Jean Kerr sacrifices some laughs in treating two serious themes: the capacity to love and the squandering of talent. Still, wit and insight inform this tale of an English poet on an alcoholic sabbatical in New York.
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. Alan Alda hoots and Diana Sands hollers in Bill Manhoff's comedy about a mind-v.-body imbroglio between a musty book clerk and an earthy prostitute.
LUV. What's so funny about three tear-jerks on a bridge trying to outlament and outpsychologize each other? Author Murray Schisgal, Director Mike Nichols, and Performers Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin—that's what.
