  • February 1,1996 Western Carolinian IMP WANTS TO PUMP Features A funny Thing Jiappens In the Theatre Department YOU UP Maybe you put on a few extra pounds over the holiday break—excess flesh you'd like to shed before swimsuit season arrives. Or maybe you fell victim to one of the least-revered college student traditions—the dreaded freshman spread, caused by unlimited access to late-night pizzas to help you deal with the stress of midterm exams and research papers. Whatever your reason, if you're looking for help in losing weight and dealing with the stress of college life, Last Minute Productions may have just the ticket. It's WCU Student Shapewise, a 10-week weight-loss program designed especially for college students. Classes will meet once a week on Tuesdays, beginning February 13 and continuing through April 23, except for March 12 (during spring break). Classes will be held from 7-8 p.m. in Room 104 of the Killian Building. The program will be administered by the New Direction weight control system at Harris Regional Hospital in Sylva. It will cover such topics as how to control weight while eating healthy foods, including some fast food choices and snacks; how to make exercise fun; ways to manage stress and learn to relax; and ways to communicate and feel better about yourself. The program also includes a weight-loss food plan developed by a registered dietician, weekly weigh-ins, a Dynaband for toning and stretching, and professional instruction. Cost of the class is $30. The program is open to WCU students only. For information or to sign up, call LMP at 227-7206. Information contributed by OPI The English Club and Sigma Tau Delta are sponsoring a presentation by Career Services on Wednesday, February 7 in Room 202 of the Coulter Building. All English majors are encouraged to attend. Photo contributed by OPI by Melanie Steele Contributing Writer Western Carolina University's Department of Communication and Theatre Arts proudly presents the renowned Broadway musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" on February 6-10. It is under the direction of Stephen Michael Ayers and Mary Kay Bower with a cast of many WCU students. The story takes place two hundred years before the Christian era in the spring, on a street in Rome. The action and comedy are continuous. Auditions for this musical were held last semester, and the cast and crew have been working hard to present this comedy next week. Many students and professors have been working long hours to build sets, make costumes, and work on all the little details that make WCU productions something to see. The cast practices daily to insure a solid performance. Not everyone in the cast is a Theatre major. There are many new faces gracing the stage in this year's musical. Heather Broom, who plays Gymnasia says, "Ever since I saw 'Rumors' as a freshman in 1993, I always wanted to be in a WCU performance. The 'Forum' cast is fabulous, and I'm having a terrific time!" Earnest Moss, who is also new, says, "It's a lot of hard work but it's also fun. I am getting an educational as well as a cultural experience." Jason Hatfield, who has been in many of WCU's productions, plays Hysterium. He says that he is happy to be in this musical and says it has "a strong cast from top to bottom." He also hopes that everyone has as much fun watching it as the cast has performing it. This is the third show of the theatre department's four-show season and the one musical of the year. Steve Ayers is happy to be directing it. He says, "I have always thought that 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' was potentially the funniest show Broadway ever produced." Tickets to the show are on sale now in the Communication and Theatre Arts office on the first floor of Stillwell, or you can reserve them by calling 227- 7491. The cost is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for students.
