  • i ■man features Septeber 2,1998 I WCU Theater Department Kicks Off it's First Second Season by Phoebe Esmon Features Editor WCU's department of Communication and Theater Arts has just christened the Second Season. The Second Season will be a series of productions, directed, produced, acted in, and (hopefully) written by students. For almost three years now, theater students have been producing what they termed "Guerrilla Theater" or, in layman's terms, shows not officially sanctioned or monetarily supported by the CTA Department. This semester, the powers that be decided to give the students a chance. In order to participate in the Second Season, students are required to meet certain professional criteria. They must keep their GPA above a certain level. They must work up a production team, as well as creating an entire season. Dr. Lawrence Hill told the Western Carolinian that the department was "committed to building excellence in this program over the course of several years." Hill firmly believes that there needs to be a theater by and for students who want to pursue scripts that aren't necessarily seen as main stage material. The Second Season's inaugural production, entitled 'Play On,' is a three act comedy that makes fun of all that goes into putting on a show. Sean Lakey, who is directing the play, as well as playing the lead in WCU's first main stage production, "Barefoot in the Park," stated with unbridled enthusiasm that this show is going to be "a lot of fun, and not what you expect." Having watched the first few minutes of the first rehearsal, this writer is inclined to agree. There was an excitement and energy in Niggli Theater that you generally don't see. You see, what we as students are being presented with in the Second Season, is the opportunity to do the shows we've always wanted to do. In Niggli Theater, free of the various and manifold pressures (and somewhat incestuous atmosphere) that can accompany of a main stage production, students are finally being allowed to stretch their artistic legs. This is an opportunity not to be passed up. Often times, theater students are seen as "cliquish and weird" by those outside the the ater. The truth is, in doing any show, from a five minute scene taken from Neil Simon to a four act Shakespearean Tragedy, complex relationships, based on trust, competition, and constant proximity are formed. To people who have never been in a production, those relationships may seem strange. To the people in the shows, those relationships are par for the course. The Second Season is not just for theater students. Anyone who is interested can, and should participate. There are things to do outside of acting. There are sets and costumes to be designed and fabricated, public relations work to be done, photos to be taken, filming to be done and (not to be forgotten) plays to be written. In short, the theater is much more than just a few funny looking weirdos prancing around some funky set beneath a halo of pale blue tulle. Just think about how good the slides of the sets you designed will look in your portfolio. For more information on WCU's first Second Season, please contact the University Players at (828) 227-7491. Phi Beta Lambda Wins Gold Key Award Phi Beta Lambda - Press Release Phi Beta Lambda is a non-profit national business association which seeks to promote the academic, social, and professional growth of students interested in business. This organization helps students make the transition from college to the work force by helping them to acquire valuable skills and experience supplemental personal growth. Western Carolina's Phi Beta Lambda chapter was- reactivated last fall when Eric McGarvey and Kenya Wilson, who had both been members at other schools, transferred to WCU and initiated the reactivation process. Since last fall, the WCU chapter has grown by leaps and bounds, becoming one of the best chapters in the state. This marks the first year since 1979 that a member from WCU has served on the state executive board. On July 8, nine of WCU's finest business students traveled to the 1998 National Phi Beta Lambda Leadership Conference. The week began with participation at the Institute for Leaders, an intense leadership training workshop, to which only 200 members are admitted. Part of the workshop took place behind the scenes at Disney's Epcot Center, where cast members and PBL members interacted through various activities. The workshop concluded with several professional workshops, from which all of WCU's members graduated with honors. Next came the actual Leadership Conference, which well over 2500 of the nation's top students attended. WCU shined by sweeping up several honors, including the coveted Gold Key Chapter Award. Anyone interested in joining is invited to attend one of the orientation/info meetings on Thursday September 3, at 5 p.m., or 9 p.m. in Forsyth Auditorium. Phi Beta Lambda is open to all majors. If you have any questions regarding WCU's chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, or the organization itself, please contact Jennie Hunter in the College of Business at 828-227- 7401, or Eric McGarvey at 828-227-6942. Nomad Editor is Named Photo by T.K. Roberts by Phoebe Esmon Features Editor Terri Spence, a senior English major with a concentration in professional writing, has been named Editor of this year's nomad. The Nomad, WCU's art and literature publication, is produced annually. Born in Atlanta, Spence lived in Durham for twenty years before coming to Cullowhee two years ago. Spence says that "what I really want is for it [The Nomad] to encompass what all students feel, not just the students in the English Department." In an effort to get submissions from all kinds of people, Spence plans to have submission drop-off points in places all over campus. Spence also plans to host a couple poetry slams this semester, in hopes of raising interest in the publication. "What I'd really like," she stated, "is to have people from a lot of different majors to contribute new ideas." There will be an organizational meeting at the Nomad offices in The Old Student Union, on September 10, at 5 p.m. For more information on the Nomad, please contact the English Department at 828-227-7265. $1250 FUNDRAISER Credit Card fundraiser for student organizations.
