Western Carolinian Features February 21, 2001 Rocky Horror Show Warps into Hoey By Melissa Dills Staff Writer With opening night scheduled for February 27, excitement is building as the University Players' performers enter into the last week of rehearsal before The Rocky Horror Show debut. Even as the final touches are being applied to the choreography, music, and acting, the actors and actresses took a few moments before rehearsal to share some insight into how the preparation is going. Coming from Hoey's stage, the piano beats out the foot-tapping rhythms of the 'Time Warp" as the performers warm up. They soon move on to "I Can Make You a Man" under the careful guidance of music director, Dr. James Maroney. Enthusiasm and fun are working their way into the cast and crew. The cast consists of a few newcomers, some familiar faces, and one returning WCU alumni, Kevin Billings, who plays Frank-n-Furter. Billings said, "I'm glad to be able to come back to Western to participate in this show." A total of fourteen people will traverse Hoey's stage in the lively rock-n-roll show. Most of their evenings are spent working on stretching, dancing, singing, and acting. These dedicated actors and actresses offered their views on how rehearsals have been going, a few of their likes and dislikes, and their expectations for the upcoming show. The general consensus appeared to be one of continued high energy and a hope for a tremendous sell-out week. Most agreed is that they are looking forward to a large turnout of people from the surrounding community to come see the show. Serenity Richards, a senior, will play the "flirtatious and womanly" Magenta. "I hope that everyone who comes to see the show," Richards said, "enjoys watching it as much as we enjoy performing it." Another actor, Josh Ellis, said "I expect we will have some fun audiences who will have a great time." Ellis will play the role of Eddie. Crystal Waters, a junior, will portray one of the phantoms, actors who accent the other characters' actions and provide a background as well. Her expectations were positive for the performance as well. "I think that if people treat this as a musical and not a showing," Waters stated, "then we can do a great job." Emily Wood, who will play Janet, was also ecstatic and hopeful for the upcoming performance. Wood said, "I hope people will see RHS not as a weird show about sexual freedom, but as a comical excerpt from life in the science fiction seventies." But pulling off a full musical with song, dance, and lively acting is not as easy as one would believe. Hours of diligent practice and repetitive action have been put into each scene and in each characters' performance. All of this is observed and assisted by an attentive crew. "Rehearsals are individual times to shine," said Courtney Becknell, who plays Columbia. "You have to give your best because it doesn't get any better. You're as good as you give. Nothing could happen without everyone working together." Most of the cast agreed that rehearsals have been going smoothly, and that the band has provided them with an unexpected burst of energy. This cast is indeed excited and enthusiastic about the hard work and effort that they have been putting into the past few weeks. With so many positive attitudes, February 27 promises to be an energetic and captivating opening night. Angie Aparo Strips Music Down to the Basics By Eric Newsom Staff Writer In today's pop mainstream, it often seems that songwriters are overlooked for pretty faces and, well, other stuff that's pretty too. Too many excellent singers, musicians, and groups are going unnoticed by the masses because they can't get coverage on that authoritarian musical monopoly, MTV. Angie Aparo is one of those. Although his album music is complex and studio- refined, if one looks past the instrumental flash, they'll find a brilliant lyricist at the heart of a pop band. He truly reflects his record company's assertion that he is a "street poet for the 21st Century." Aparo's best known song, the single "Spaceship," is proof of this fact as well. In the song, he wraps intricate lyrics about refusing to grow up in a world that seems insanely not grown up around synth driven ultra-pop. Near the end of the song he apologizes for the tales that he can't weave into his songs: "Play me a groove, one for my radio / One for my love that came and went / So many stories, hey man I'm sorry / Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent." "Spaceship" comes from Aparo's crowning achievement, The American, produced by Matt Serletic (who also produces Matchbox 20, but you can't hold that against him). The album is 18 songs long, and each is a different piece of sonic mastery. From the synths on "Spaceship," to the acoustic guitar and string quartet of "Wonderland," to the modern popish drum machine sound of "Third Time Around," each song is different, and nearly all of them have the stuff to become radio singles, And even if they don't become radio singles, the songs are catchy enough for fans to sing along to as Aparo brings his song writing skills to the Stella Blue in Asheville on Wednesday the 21. Because of the studio work that goes into his albums, Aparo's music when performed live has a rawer, more stripped down quality to it. That's not a bad thing, as many of them find new vibes that they couldn't locate before in the sterile world of synthesizers and drum tracks. Aparo realizes, like all musicians should, that the business isn't about flash and special effects. Each of his songs could stand on their own if it were just Aparo and his acoustic guitar, and that's the way many of them turn out during his live shows. To recap, Angie Aparo plays the Stella Blue in Asheville (31 Patton Ave., downtown) next Wednesday, Feb. 21. Tickets are on sale in advance and on the night of the show.
