Previously just known as "The Club," the University Center Advisory Board decided that it was time to give it a name. The new name, "Illusions," was originally suggested two years ago. However, at the time the advisory board couldn't decide on a name, thus the club went nameless. This year, the University Center has a new advisory board who thought it was imperative that the club be named. They looked through the suggestions from the past two years and finally settled on the name "Illusions." According to Jennifer Taylor, chairperson of the UC Advisory Board the naming of the club was important because "every other college has a name for their club. However, I inferred Western didn't and that made it of high priority to the advisory board." For their grand re-opening party on Friday, Nov. 12, Illusions held a conference with various leaders of organizations here at Western to inform them of the functions of the club. Then at 9 pm, the fun began. Illusions had a DJ spitting out various popular tunes. A caricature artist drew caricatures from 9 am till 1 pm. Mocktails (virgin cocktails), free food, and door prizes were just some of the attractions Illusions offered. Also, as with most club functions, it was BYOB. Of course, none of this could have been possible were it not for Tina Parks, who entered the original naming contest and, two years later, won. As reward for winning, Tina and 10 friends will receive a pizza party, 10 free billiard hours in the UC game room, a sweatshirt from the bookstore, and she can attend all LMP comedy shows and movies next semester free. Illusions is a place for any and all special events; though small, it can hold up to 300 people. "The sounds and acoustics here cannot be duplicated and this is the only place on campus that is B YOB,"said Taylor. Tim Jacobs, the director of the UC, added, "its atmosphere is different ... there's something for everyone." Whether one goes to Illusions for an LMP affair or to watch the Super Bowl on sports bar night, it's well worth the time spent to check out what's going on at Western Carolina's only club, Illusions. 'Our Town' Opens This Week ith a DJ* "■v: 'WW':&:- ;i5|s|is!5;S All proceeds raised will go to help the Eas Carolina, Elizabeth State University and the victims of Hu^fene Floyd DATE: TIME: i I By Heather Johnson Staff Writer The University Players and the Western Carolina University Department of Communication and Theatre Arts present Thorton Wilder's Our Town, directed by Dr. Lawrence J. Hill. Considered by many to be Wilder's greatest play, Our Town explores the small- town lives and significant moments of the fictional inhabitants of Graver's Corners, New Hampshire, in the early part of the 20th century. It's comedic moments are juxtaposed with poignant ones, as the play follows the lives of Emily Webb, played by Courtney Cunningham, and George Gibbs, played by Josh Ellis, through their growing up and marriage. Katherine Barron plays the role of the Stage ^_ Manager, who also functions as a someti mes-philosopher, someti mes-Greek Chorus, taking up the roles of various townspeople, and serving as our guide and liaison to Graver's Corners. For those who are regular patrons of WCU theatre, the cast includes several familiar faces, such as Sean Lakey (Allen Strange-Eai/H.?, Einstein-Picasso at the Lapin Agile), who plays Editor Webb, Emily's father; Ashleigh Sumner (Dolly Tate -Annie Get Your Gun, Jen-The Dumbwaiter), who plays Emily's mother; Daniel Weger (Bartender Freddy-Pica.?.w at the Lapin Agile), who plays Doc Gibbs, George's father; and of course Ellis (Elvis Presley-P/ca.Mo at the Lapin Agile, Arnold- Crawling Arnold) and Cunningham (Miss Sympathy-Crawling Arnold), and many fresh faces as well. True to University Players tradition, Our Town is done with minimal set and props, Wilder's Our Town Tues., Nov. 16 - Sat., Nov. 20 House opens at 7:00 pm Show starts at 7:30 pm COST: $12.50 Adults $10 Senior Citizens $5 Students LOCATION: Hoey Auditorium Call 227-7491 for advanced tickets allowing the audience an unencumbered view. Audience members with an interest in philosophy will find Wilder's use of the 19th century idea of the eternal, particularly in the third act, especially compelling. For those of you have never seen a production of Our Town, this is an opportunity to see a classic piece of American literature/theatre that has been in production for over 60 years. And for those of you have already seen Our Town, they are invited to come reexamine the world of Graver's Corners.
