  • Stormy forecast for The Tempest By Carrie Petrea + newsmagazine The Tempest, starring WCU's Trevor Perry (Prospero), Janna Marie Harris (Miranda) and Sara Dobson (Ariel), is a whimsical hodgepodge of debauchery and mistaken identity. The play, directed by Steven Michael Ayers, took on the traditional Shakespearean point-of-view complete with the Modem English, aka Shakespearean language. Ayers was successful in the set, costume design and visual effects as they were helpful to provide the mood for the play; however, the acting was overall disappointingly dull and unrealistic and proved to draw out the full 2-1/2 hours of the play. The set established a unique representation of Prosperos tropical and deserted island with a sand floor covering the stage and realistic rock steps leading Up to Prosperos cave-like home. A spring was also represented to the right of the stage with rock surrounded the pool of water. Bushes and trees were situated toward the back of the stage to cover the fairies entrances. Though the set was impressive for college production, it became confusing when the scenes switched to the four different subplots. A larger stage and more scenery, perhaps in the Fine and Performing Arts Center, would have remedied the confusion The costumes were accurate in portraying the wardrobe of the typical Shakespearean play with various colored tights, large ruffled pants and extravagant hats and feathers. Ariel's wardrobe was mostimpressive as the costumes changed from a fairy-like tunic with flowing material to angelic wings and what seemed to be @ mermaid fin. The costume designers did an excellent job with everyone's costumes. Shakespeare would have been satisfied, Flying effects, provided by ZFX, Inc., were an added appeal to the play's mystery. However, the cords which held Ariel seemed awkward and out of place Faculty Press Release USI 493 is no ordinary course for the Westem Carolina University faculty and students who are participating in it the course culminates in a nine day trip to Panama, When my Spanish professor, Patricia Hackett, announced the Panama trip to our class, | was immediately interested and applied hoping for another chance to behold Central America and offer whatever assistance | possibly could to the people there, said Stephanie Schutz, a junior at Western. Project Panama, which began in the winter of 2004, has provided Western students with an alternative spring break as part of the service learning program at Western. Participants meet every Tuesday night for eight weeks prior to the trip. Team members get a crash course in Spanish and the history, culture and geography of Panama, and each night a group of volunteers from the team makes a traditional Panamanian meal. The meetings also include a workshop WCnewsmagazine 17 Theatve Review for the most part. They often caused a distraction from the acting, which may or may not have been a bad thing. Though overall, it was amusing to see the fairies jump in and out of the set and was a positive reinforcement of the play's magical theme. Though the set, costumes and visual effects were incorporated well, they were not enough to hide the awkward, unbelievable and dull acting. It felt ike a few actors just really didnt want to be there, which could have resulted in the players disinterest in the play as a whole. The father-daughter relationship between Miranda and Prospero was particularly uncomfortable as the two did not connect well with each other. Moreover, the romance between Miranda and Ferdinand (Nicholas Belli) was extremely unrealistic. Many couldn't decipher if the two were an item or just platonic friends. Dan Rohrig (Trinculo), Alexandra LaBelle (Stephano), and Terry Nienhauis (Caliban) added @ much-needed amusing entertainment, which can arguably be the play's nature. Without these three, the play would have been a total flop. The interaction between the three worked well and their facial expressions and voice infliction overrode the confusing Shakespearean language. Audience members found themselves laughing for the first time in Act 2, scene 2 when Trinculo, Stephano and Caliban first meet in their drunken and fearful state. During intermission, many audience members asked others to clarify whatwas happening. Though Modern English is difficult to decipher, it | could have been clarified much more through actions | of the actors and actresses on stage. However, as there was very litle action at times, audiences had to rely on their own knowledge of Modem English, which for many, proved to be very ltt At the end of the play, a few audience members gave a standing ovation; however, most stayed in their seats and clapped politely. Though, the hard work to make The Tempesi a respectable play was appreciated, some flaws could have been fixed through more careful directing an a little more enthusiasm from the cast. and students broaden their horizons in unique class in journaling taught by Dr. Elizabeth Addison, head of the English Department. I've leamed a few Spanish words, and | am beginning to feel like part Of the team, said Dr. Lydia Aydlett, a professor of psychology at Westem. By the time the team leaves for Panama, they will have basic Spanish skills and a thorough knowledge of their destination. While in Panama, the team will visit the Panama Canal, do renovation work on schools in Boquete, and deliver needed school and medical supplies. The group is currently gathering the supplies from friends, family members and coworkers. They also hope to raise enough funds to purchase a microscope for the newly opened Guyami Indian Reservation Clinic.
