  • The Western Carolinian 5 Thursday, February 19, 1987 Foreigner from page one Rock Playhouse, recommended the play to the selection committee of the ACTF for regional competition. Individually, the actors lived up to the expectations of the audience: Terry Nienhuis (a member of the faculty of the Department of English), who played Froggy LeSueur, the gentleman responsible for taking Charlie Baker to North Georgia, was a very convincing military officer. His acting was crisp, brisk and precise. Mark Warwick (a theatre and radio/TV major from Lumberton, NC), who played Charlie Baker - the foreigner whom the play revolves around - was an effective "wimpy" kind of man who, as the play progressed, evolved into a strong force. His character's strength still reeked of a degree of insecurity and doubt, and Warwick captured the essence of the character and endeared himself to the audience. Phoebe Hall (of Sylva), fresh from a successful summer at the Missouri Repertory, played Betty Meeks in this production. Hall has been an outstanding actress in a number of WCU theatre productions. She was at her peek as Betty Meeks - an innocent older, down-home lodgekeeper who had never been outside north Georgia. One patron said that Hall made the audience love her everytime she came on stage. "She's like the sweet aunt that we all like to think we have back home." Hall captured, with near flawlessness, the naivete, the innocence, the trusting nature of her character. Patrick Williamson (a junior B.F.A student) played Reverend David Lee, a local pastor and secret head of the region's KKK chapter. Williamson turned in and excellent performance, with one minor flaw - his accent was a bit fuzzy when he first came on stage in Act 1, Scene 2. It was not clear whether or not his character spoke with a Georgian accent or not. A steady accent emerged, however, as the play progressed. June Cagle (a senior B.F.A. major) palyed Catherine Simms, Reverend Lee's fiancee. Cagle turned in one of her best performances in a role that saw her blending well with Williamson's Lee. Philip Auton, the adorable Cheswick in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, played the equally delightful role of Ellard Simms, Catherine's retarded brother. He poured himself into his character with an abandon born out of his obvious love for his craft. Gregg Jones played Owen Musser, second in command in the KKK hierarchy. Now, there was a redneck! Musser believes he's macho, believes he is right in doing what needs to be done - ridding the U.S. of foreigners, blacks, and all others who are not lilly- white and homegrown. Underneath all the hate, machismo and self-righteousness lies an easily frightened little boy. Jones made Musser real. Director Ayers interpreted Shue's script more than adequately. The actors moved with ease across the atage. Everything was natural, everything flowed. Set and lighting designer Richard S. Beam put together the set in a way that allowed the actors to move freely. Costumes were well-chosen and did not, even in the most remote way, detract attention from themselves. All in all, February 14's benefit performance was an experience in excellent theatre. On Friday, February 20, the production moves on to Knoxville. Dr. Donald L. Loeffler, head of the department of Speech and Theatre Arts, said, "To be selected for the regional festival is a definite honor for us, proving that our efforts to bring quality theatre to the region are worthwhile." The entire production crew hopes to bring some glory to Cullowhee by outshining the other entrants in this regional competition. Patrons at the February 14 benefit felt confident that they will. And that the John F. Kennedy Center's 19th American College Theatre Festival in March will be a piece of cake. Dr. John Beam of Ihe theatre department directs activities as the set for The Foreigner is loaded onto the truck that will take it to Knoxville, Tenn., for the Feb. 20 performance.
