With. over an hour and a half of live, surprising en- tertainment, the audience which included a number of young children was cack- _ling with laughter through- ' out the show. : As the audience members were seated, they were each given a pair of cardboard 3D glasses that made the show . literally pop with excite- ment. Some members of the crowd were even called upon to participate on stage, f including the Western Caro- linians own Justin Caudell who caught a ball that. Nizer threw to: the right of him. Caudell was asked to accompany Nizer onstage to assist him onto an 8 ft. high _ unicycle. I was nervous when | realized that catching the ball meant that I was going - to be part of the show, said Caudell. Ive seen shows in the past where audience members had to do crazy things. Caudells pupeiion was accurate. He was dis- -gruntled by Nizers need to put forceful pressure on his head to raise up to the unicycle, thus making Caudells neatly spiked hair to turn into a ee mess. _ Cobrdas show on. diabetic j journey 1 raises Band event $2000 for JDRF Katelyn Cooper, Staff Writer Tt was amazing. It exceeded my hopes and dreams, said Jonathan Co- brda as he discussed his Jan. 30 performance in Sweet N Low: The True Story of -One Diabetics Journey to Keep Spirits High and Sug- ars Low. Cobrdas one man show shares details of his Diabe- _ tes experiences from the extremely funny to the nitty- gritty while informing his . audience about the condi- tion. The show is a part com- edy, part drama that not only shares his story yet allows - Cobrda to raise money for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund). The performance of Co@ . brdas show packed about 500 seats in the Fine and Performing Arts Center and raised about $2,000. Cobrda has __ travelled around North Carolina per- forming his one-man show. that started as his senior project.in high school raising support and awareness for. the JDRF. Tt started out as me writ- ing a horribly: written mono- logue just to get a grade. My mentor, Scott Eisenhower, looked at it and said there was an unbelievably beauti- ful story there. We sat down, dissected the paragraphs and made an 11 page script, Co- brda said. I got chills read- ing it. Cobrdas __ performance had the same effect on WCU audience members. The show was amazing it literally gave me chills for - the entire fifty minutes. It was hilarious at times, and challenging at others. I-have never seen anything like it, said Shannon Lockamy, a se- _ mior at WCU. You did such a great job last night, said Dr. Beth Lofquist, Associate Assistant to the Provost as: she con- gratulated him during my interview with Cobrda in | Starbucks. Cobrda stated the show at WCU went far better than expected and was very well received. They laughed until they. cried, and even actually cried. Being only a sopho- more at WCU and having the support of my peers, instruc- tors and mentors was incred- ibly humbling, said Cobrda. Cobrdas show is con- stantly evolving with him. Cobrda stated that no perfor- mance is the same because the audience is always differ- ent, but they are not the only factor that makes Cobrdas performance change slightly every time. As I grow as a performer and with the show, I will ask, what can come next? said Cobrda. Although the script has changed very little, the tech- nologies for diabetes are be- coming life changing. Last Thanksgiving, Cobrda. got involved with OmniPod, a system that has developed the first ever tubeless insulin pump. Cobrdas script will de- velop along with these new technologies to continue to share his personal journey. I will do the show as _ long as people can stand to | watch it; as long as it con- tinues to grow, adapt, inspire people, and change lives. Its-. a beautiful germ of a show, said Cobrda. i PHOTO COURTESY OF MARK NIZER But Caudell and the rest -of the WCU. students were * outnumbered by. the fami- lies and children who were in attendance, which made it a fun family- friendly - night out.

Ray Charles, Local mother of. two, Gina Volio, brought her two energetic sons to the show. We were very pleased with it, it, was everything we thought it would be said Volio, After watching him on YouTube, I knew he would be good. One of Volios sons, Austin Speruill, said that his favorite part was the end when the toilet paper rolls _ Were spun into the air. WCU Freshman Sara Martin thought the show | was childlike, but still en- joyable. T loved it! Martin said _ when.asked about the show. T loved the lasers really, but there was so many different things that it was exciting. It was more of a kids show but [really enjoyed it.
