SUBHED} * The venture folds Human Race's series into the Victoria's season. The Victoria Theatre Association and The Human Race Theatre Company will inaugurate \"Next Stage,\" a joint season of five plays beginning this autumn. The package will be in addition to the Victoria's six-show `Broadway on Main' season, but will replace The Human Race's annual five-play subscription series. Officials of The Human Race, which has been carrying a $100,000 debt on an annual budget of about $600,000, denied that the collaborative venture is a merger. The Victoria budget is more than $6 million.

Set in London during the 19th century, the play tells the story of Sweeney Todd, a bitter barber who was wrongly imprisoned by a warped judge who coveted Todd's wife. With Todd out of the way, the judge has his way with the woman and when she disappears, he takes charge of the woman's baby daughter and raises her as his ward. Upon escaping from prison, Todd returns to London to seek revenge, teaming with former landlady Mrs. Lovett, who convinces him that - what with the meat shortage in London (there is no mention of mad cow disease, by the way) - if Todd were to do away with some of his customers, he might help her make a sweeter pie. When it opened on Broadway in 1979, with Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett, the play was a huge success, garnering several Tony Awards and enjoying a healthy run. And that's the part that is hard to get. The story itself offers little redemption. There is no sudden epiphany in which Todd recognizes the evil of revenge. With the exception of a couple of rather thin ingenue characters, there really isn't a good guy in the show.

Aug. 27--The ChildCareGroup will dedicate a new wing Thursday at Bock ChildCareGroup Center in Oak Cliff, thanks in part to a $225,000 grant from The Meadows Foundation. \"At ChildCareGroup centers, 92 percent of our families receive free child care. Unfortunately, our centers alone have a list of nearly 400 children waiting for a slot to open, not including the already 3,500 children waiting for subsidized care through ChildCareGroup's Child Care Assistance Program.\" The Meadows Foundation grant also supported the expansion of ChildCareGroup of the United Methodist Church of Oak Cliff nearby and is being used as local matching dollars for Early Head Start funding.
