  • Page 10 Features September 30,1993 Western Carolinian Local storyteller premieres on PBS Oct.5 Hayley Nicholas Staff Writer Gary Carden still calls home the white clapboard farmhouse in which he grew up. On Cherry Street in Sylva, he sits on the front porch enjoying the same shade provided by the same trees that his grandparents enjoyed when he was a child. Next to the house, an old barn, home now to an orange cat and a riding lawn mower, grows sturdier and full of hay as it becomes the setting for a tale of Carden's childhood. Another story of youthful misadventure centers around a June apple tree that no longer stands in the front yard. These are the kinds of stories Gary Carden likes to tell - - tales celebrating what remains and what is gone, words and expressions that bring back to life those people, things and ways long absent. Carden's most personal collection of such stories, a video entitled "Blow the Tannery Whistle," will premiereonPBS next Tuesday, October 5,at 7:30pm. The video is a culmination of several years work and a unique opportunity to compare present to past. "Blow the Tannery Whistle" was shot for the NC Center for Public Television in and around Sylva by Tom Davenport, producer of "From the Brothers Grimm," a series on PBS that relates Grimm's fairy tales with an Appalachian twist. Carden has collaborated with Davenport in rewriting some of these tales. Carden's visual renderingof stories from his life and times opens with a view of Sylva's main street and quickly travels to the old tannery, now Jackson County Paper Company, the setting of Carden's first story.

Interspersed are photos and portraits of the places and people the stories concern. The sense of history is real and alive. Carden is solely responsible for the life in the stories. He stands on a street comer in the windi- ness of last fall and paints an image of the bustle and excitement of a Saturday outing into town. He becomes giggly, bug-eyed and ribald in portraying a neighbor of long ago. He recreates his grandmother in the slight whistle that comes into his voice while imitating her. It's no wonder that he chooses to title himself a story teller when the trades he practices are innumerable. Carden, when he's not spinning tales, lectures, writes, teaches, directs, co-ordinates workshops, produces award-winning plays and collects books. He is also a graduate of WCU. After Tuesday evening, Carden will be able to add TV-celebrity to that list. There's a good chance that the NC Center for Public Television will trade the collection of stories to other PBS networks in other states. "I may go off to exotic places like Arkansas or South Carolina," Carden states with a grin. No matter where Gary Carden gets transmitted to, his home will always be that white clapboard farmhouse on Cherry Street. His history will always be that of the town that grew up around the tannery whistle. 'Theatre" from pg. 8 rates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan. Dr Hill called this nineteenth century effort "your typical light hearted musical fantasy." Western's production of the turn-of-the- century operetta will feature extravagant sets and costumes. Dr. Hill would like to encouragefauditions from all students. He stressed that this is not an opera, and most voices can handle the musical range. Auditions will be held on October 24 and 25. Lawrence Hill will be director, and Mary Kay Bauer will be musical director on this joint venture with the theatre and music departments. "Pirates of Penzance" will sail February 9-12. The final play of the season is Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts." The play has been hailed as a spell-binding tale by one of the world's greatest playwrights. Directed by Stephen Michael Ayers, the production will be staged in-the-round April 6-9 and 13-16. The series of one-act plays will be staged in January and February. Showtime for all performances of the four "mainstage" productions is 7:30pm Western's Hoey Auditorium. Season tickets for 1993-94 are now available for $40 for adults, $30 for senior citizens and $20 for students. Ticket prices are $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and $5 for students, except for Pirates of Penzance." Tickets for the musical will cost $12 for adults, $10 for sen' citizens and $5 for students.
