  • April 19, 2000 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 11 University Players Present a New Twist on the Bard by Heather Johnson Contributing Writer It's 1000 years into the future. 100 years. Next week perhaps. Or maybe just 20 minutes from now. The world as you know it is a desolate, dangerous world, in which one survives by wits and violence, or not at all. Whether the result of nuclear holocaust, World War III, you know not, nor do you care. Your concern is staying alive. You rummage through debris for food, to cover your body, for items to use as weapons from those who would take your finds from you. And one day, while digging in the rubble, you find this book ... A futuristic dreamer's post- apocalyptic imaginings are the setting of the upcoming University Players production of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Stephen M. Ayers. Don't expect the traditional tights and schmaltzy balcony scenes. The only thing that remains unchanged is William Shakespeare's beautiful language. And of course the exciting fight scenes, choreographed by world- renowned stage combat Fight Master of the Society of Ameri can Fight Directors, Drew Fracher. Except that the characters are bashing each other with animal jawbones, telephone receivers, and crutches. Romeo & Juliet WHEN: Tues., April 25 - Fri., April 28 7:30pm Sat., April 29 2:00pm, 7:30pm WHERE: Hoey Auditorium PRICE: $12.50-Adults $10.00-Senior Citizens ^$ 5.00 - Students Fracher recently left his position as President of the Society of American Fight Directors, having served two terms, and he travels all over the world, attending and teaching at workshops and training programs. Fracher's next stop after Cullowhee was London, England, to train others in Stage Combat. Ask any Romeo and Juliet cast member; it isn't easy to make it look realistic and retain the high level of safety in which Fracher adamantly requires. WCU alumnus Charity Moon-Irvin choreographed the dance and chorus sequences. Don't expect to hear chamber music, either. The soundtrack contains music from techno DJ Mary Jane, Morphine, Loreena McKennitt, and Switchblade Symphony. The cast includes faces familiar to those who follow theatre in Cullowhee; Romeo is played by Sean Lakey, a veritable star of WCU theatre, although he'd be the last to call himself such, and Courtney Cunningham, who most recently played Emily Webb in last year's mainstage production of Our Town, here on campus in Hoey Theatre. The poetic jokester Mercutio is played by student/actor/musician Josh Cox, another familiar face onstage in Hoey. He is recently back from working professionally at Charlotte Repertory Theatre, and has been seen playing Oberon in another Shakespeare favorite, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Picasso in last years photo courtesy Mark Haskett/OPI Sean Lakey and Courtney Cunningham star in the University Players' production of "Romeo and Juliet" with a post-apocalyptic twist. Picasso at the Lapin-Agile. Dr. Terry Nienhuis, a WCU English professor who has played in several Hollywood films, is a fearsome Prince Escalus. Newcomer to WCU theatre, Damien Marts, plays Tybalt, the "Prince of Cats" with a deadly sensuality. Will Pickens takes a break from sound engineering to play Benvolio, the well-intentioned cousin of Romeo. Probably Shakespeare's best known work, Romeo and Juliet epitomizes the tragic story of "star-crossed" love, which is the precise reason the play still rings true, nearly 400 years after his death. This non-traditional spin on the Bard's tale shows how the chaos of true love survives even when all else is crumbling into the chaos of a fallen society, and the utter idiocy of the violence portrayed. Even in the darkness of death and decay, love flames brightly. Con Clave Comes to WCU by Erin Roedema LMP writer A new band called Con Clave will be in town on Thursday, April 27, 2000. The band will perform on campus at 4:30 pm on the UC lawn. Admission to this event is free. The music produced by Con Clave is a mix of Salsa, Afro-Cuban, Jazz and Latin music. It also incorporates elements of Puerto Rican and New Age music, which combines to create an exhilarating sound. The group's rhythm is unlike any other band. Con Clave is made up of four men who all have a strong love of music. Byron Hedgepeth is an experienced percussionist who has been very influential in the development of music education. He completed his Masters degree at the University of Illinois. Hedgepeth's experience is derived from his numerous musical performances. He has played in symphony orchestras and has been involved in touring ensembles in Taiwan. His musical wisdom is evident during his performances. Keith Davis is Con Clave's keyboardist and composer. He is also an experienced performer. He has traveled throughout the United States and Europe participating in jazz performances. He has played with various well-known musicians including Artie Shaw, Ben Tucker, Pat LeBarbera, Mike Mainieri and the Glen Miller Band. Davis just recently joined Con Clave, but his talent adds a new dimension to the group. Bassist Eliot Wadopian is another important member in this group. He has played in Western North Carolina as well as across the United States, Europe and the Orient with many professional ensembles. In order to produce the Latin sound for Con Clave, he plays both fretted and fretless six-string Bass Guitars. He has played all types of music, including jazz, gospel, blues, world music, and rock. He has an unusual style that has won him a Grammy Award as Acoustic Bassist with the Paul Winter Consort in 1993. His dynamic guitar playing should not be missed. Saxophonist and flutist Stuart Reinhart is the newest member to Con Clave. He has been a musician for over twenty years and is familiar to North Carolina audiences. He has played at the Brevard Jazz festival with several different ensembles. Reinhart is an extraordinary soloist who inspires the spirits of John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter with powerful and very meaningful soloist ideas. He has also worked with other well-known artists such as Jon Faddis and Terry Gibb. Reinhart puts his soul into every piece. Con Clave will entertain listeners with their eclectic salsa Latin mix, so be sure grab a blanket and listen on the UC lawn for a relaxing afternoon. Interior Design Students Take First Place Award at Charlotte Design Show by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Five students recently won a contest at the Southern Spring Show, the biggest indoor and outdoor living exposition in the state. These students, all of whom are interior design seniors, won the contest while competing against 6 other schools. This was the first year that WCU has attended the exposition. Located near the entrance of Independence Hall, the booth named "Bloomin' England" was viewed by over 90,000 spectators that attended the Charlotte Show. The booth was built in Belk Building and featured a wood plank and tile floor, sponge-painted walls, and a wooden butcher block and granite counter tops. Special features included a lighted stucco hood over the Aga Stove, bracketed shelves and a two-level island. "The students spent three and a half weeks working on the exhibit, they had local businesses donate materials that they later enhanced themselves," said Marc R. Yops, the program director, who provided assistance on the project. The students were Garen Ashley Holcomb of Huntersville, Aaron Michael Kirby of Hinsdale, New Hampshire, Vista Ballou Ware of Asheville, Lyndon Keith Westmoreland of Clyde, and Ryan Michael Windt of Charlotte. They worked to gather products, finish the cabinetry, make the hood, and electrify the exhibit. The theme of the show was international design. The students chose a British theme for the display because of a trip that four of the five students took last year to London with Yops. The students had the opportunity to view authentic English kitchens and the trends in British design. For the show, only six schools were invited which included other colleges and some high schools that have interior design classes. The show covered three buildings, one that hosted plants and outdoor furnishings, and another that included indoor furnishings and accessories. Next year, Yops said, the building and design of the exhibit will be open to more students interior design students. The group is considering displaying the kitchen here at WCU but one major component is missing; the Aga stove has been installed in someone's home. Hopefully, the award-winning exhibit will be displayed in the near future.
