The Fine and Performing Arts Center began showing Guys and Dolls on Thursday, Feb. 21 and ran through three nights until closing with a Sunday matinee. Set in the 1940s in New York City, gambler Nathan Detroit makes a bet with fellow gambler Sky Masterson, that he can not make the next woman he sees fall in love with him. When the next girl to walk in is missionary Sarah Brown, the stage is clearly set for an unforgettable story. Guys and Dolls featured a lively cast that displayed an outstanding perfor- mance. The show featured four main characters played by students Christy Waymouth, Anthony Giordano, Betha- ny Rowe, and Nathaniel Mason. The main characters could not have been played by a more talented group of ac- tors. Waymouth and Rowe enchanted audience members with their brilliant singing ability, while Mason and Gior- dano engaged the audience with their comical efforts. : The stage sets used in the pro- duction were both vibrant and colorful and proved to add in the excitement of the musical. Also adding in the enjoyment of the production were the costumes. Be- ing both extravagant and at times spar- kling, costumes appeared to be at the highest quality as cast members donned them onstage. As part of the production cast, Guys and Dolls also featured guest choreographer Christopher d Amboise. DAmboises experience in Broadway and dance offered the show enthusias- tic and professional dance numbers that cast members performed flawlessly. The energizing dancing and the masterful singing would not have been possible without the talents offered by the orchestra filling the section below the stage. The orchestra began enticing audience members before the show be- gan by playing featured songs from the musicales songs such as, Guys and Dolls and Luck Be A Lady, which the enthusi- astic cast members colorfully sang. From the sparkling costumes, to the radiant singing and dancing, the production of Guys and Dolls was a complete success as it received a stand- ing ovation at the end of the first night. The show and its cast members truly offered a Tony Award-winning perfor- mance in Guys and Dolls. aA) SRC neo ns The, musical, featured familiar Be Kind Michel Gondry crafis a call- back to the guerrilla filmmak- ing of our youth and community recreation. er Michel Gondry, director of such films as the infamous Eter- nal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and the haunting The Science of Sleep (2006) returns with Be Kind Rewind, starring Jack Black and Mos Def as middle-aged characters Jerry and Mike. Mike finds his life revolv- ing around his job at Be Kind Rewind video store, which is owned by Mr. Fletcher, played by Danny Glover (in one of the best roles of his career). Mikes friend Jerry spends his time convinced that the nearby power plant is trying to ruin his brain. Jerry ends up magnetized and destroys all of the VHS tapes located in Be Kind Re- wind, leaving Jerry and Mike to rec- reate the tapes in a race against time to raise $60,000 because the store is on its way out of existence thanks to the politically-correct venomous brushfire that is gentrification. Their attempts turn out to be a fruitless battle, but Be Kind Rewind isnt really about this, the outside world. At its heart, its a film about the creativity that comes from sim- ply making movies with your friends. Jerry and Mike pull out ingenious tricks to recreate famous scenes from movies such as Ghostbusters, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Men in Black and Rush Hour 2. Maybe Im alone in my past chord as to just how getting togeth- er with a single camera and letting your imagination run wild can create something much more personal then anything you see on the silver screen. Jerry and Mike are able to bring to- gether their community by assign- ing people parts to play and creating something that involves everyone. This DIY ethic allows Gondry to By: Jason W. Eckard, Films Review- _ with making films on the weekends with my friends (I hope Im not) but Be Kind Rewind really strikes a Rewind explore one of the hallmarks of his filmmaking.- using ingeniously cheap methods to create really cool effects. But as much as this is a cool outlet for creativity, its a testament to the way things have to get done when it comes to little or no budget, be it a film or a theater production of a play. If youve ever seen Dave Chappelle's Block Party (Directed by Michel Gondry), then you understand Gondrys fascination with commu- nity and what brings them together. Mike, Jerry and Mr. Fletcher realize what will become of their video. store but that doesnt matter. The simple innocence of creation is what theyre after. Be Kind Rewind is a mov- ie about making movies based off of movies. And its a film that requests your attendance. Murder By Death Red of Tooth and Claw Indiana-based Neo-Goth/Western rockers head farther into the mod- ern Western than ever before. By: Jason W. Eckard Staff writer Their name evokes the image of a band more along the lines of Cradle of Filth, but its actually taken from a 1976 comedy of the same name. Murder By Death is much more along the lines of outlaw country types like Kris Kristof- ferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. Speaking of the Man in Black, its impossible to not draw compari- sons between lead singer Adam Turla and Mr. Cash. But its not a copycat or a stealing of a style; I think Adam Turla just has a really deep voice and, if any- thing, its more of homage. Murder By Deaths catalog is sort of like the Oregon Trail (the real thing or the videogame, either) in that each album has brought the band fur- ther and further into more dusky ter- ritory. Each of their albums has gone into even more dangerous bars with . even more dangerous outlaws. If theres one thing that Murder 4 By Death is incredible at its creating atmosphere through their musician- ship. This can be read as, no one in the band sucks. Especially not cellist Sarah Ballet. My God, thats how the cello should sound in the 21st century! Enjoying working in the depths derstand just how paramount their style and head-way are to the outlaw rock genre. If Murder By Deaths catalog is the Or- egon Trail, then eventually they have to reach the coast where things are new, strange and different. Where things are http://www.murderbydeath.com/news.php But if the past shows anything, its that Murder By Death treats its mu- sic with a great deal of care; they know exactly where their posse is heading. And it is this dedication to their craft that leads Red of Tooth and Claw to be a great addition to your music library. of a defined concept, Red of Tooth and Claw appears to be centered on an out- law and his adventures into debauchery. Adam Turla and his gang assume their respective roles as outlaws, and then let the six-shooting-rocking commence. The depth of this acting just further adds to the single fact that Murder By Death improves with each album. Theyre simply that cool and they un- no longer lit by candlelight, where there is electricity, where cigarettes have fil- ters and there are cars instead of hors- es. One of the most striking questions Red of Tooth and Claw asks is, What next? Just how deep into the deserts of America can Murder By Death go before they end up running circles or running out of water, forced to shoot down their horses. Only time can tell. Its an album that belongs in a beer- stained Wurlitzer jukebox that sits be- side a cigarette machine (now theres a flashback), or more importantly, just somewhere within the contents of your iPod.
