Anemotionalexperience

By TED CROSFIELD

Curtain calls taken, house
lights up, audience moving to
the exits, me standing there
resonating with the energy of
the final performance of “The
Miracle Worker.” Two rolls
of film have run through my
camera and who knows how
many emotions and feelings
through my mind; I hear a
voice say, “Hey Cheryl, do
you want me to do a review
of this?”

To my surprise the voice is
my own and now in the clear
light of the day I must at-
tempt to review a “10” ex-
perience which is now some
12 hours past.

We, the audience, are in-
vited to share other lives,
other times with people who
have spent weeks finding out
what it might feel like to be
totally deaf, totally blind,
locked in a long dark tunnel
with no beginning and no
end, or to be the parent or
sibling of a person thus af-
flicted, or the agony and the
ecstacy of a teacher who
must attmpt to teach the un-
teachable.

We were treated to a peak
emotional experience be-
cause Mr. Joseph Beales and
some two dozen other people
committed themselves to the
often agonizing, always long,
yet finally, joyous experience
of “doing play.”

I must admit to many per-
sonal reservations when I
heard that “The Miracle
Worker” was the play chosen
for this process; I recalled
other plays, other times,
where young people at-
tempted scripts beyond their
range and the audience duti-
fully sat through the per-
formance and the remark,
“Not bad for a school play,”
was heard on all sides.

I expected that the direc-
tor and cast would have real
problems with the incrodible

-1961,

The Miracle Worker

dynamics inherent in “The
Miracle Worker.” I am
pleased to report that I was
wrong; last night I didn't go
to a high school play, I at-
tended the theatre.

Starting within the ob-
vious limitations of the stage
and audience area in the
“Activity Room” at SHSS,
the cast and crew quickly
surmounted the problems of
the tin chairs, crackly speak-
ers, outside hall noises; all
went away and we journeyed
with Theres Anderson's
deeply experienced portrayal
of Helen Keller through her
dark tunnel to the burning
light of Leanne Smalley's
Annie Sullivan.

Along the way we saw
these two ably supported by

Elizabeth Howe and Darren
Pilla as Helen's confused but
loving parents, and Chris
Wanjoff being beautifully
bitchy as Helen's half-brother
who finds himself through
Annie's struggle to reach
Helen.

As a pyramid depends
upon its base, so too do the
principal characters depend
upon the steadiness of the
supporting actors, without
their commitment to the pro-
cess the play could not go on,
the parts are small but the
whole would not exist with-
out them. So too are we all
dependant upon the people
behind the scenes who must
do all their tricks at the right
time; a missed light change, a
sound cue late or early, a

misplaced prop, any break in
the flow of energy and the
performance experience is
Iessoned. Last night every-
one did their job “above and
beyond” and the result was
the joyous experience we
shared.

Just as light energy must
be focussed through a lens in
order to produce a photo-
graphic image so too must
the creative energy of a large
group be focussed to create
the unique experience of live
theatre; for ‘The Miracle
Worker” the point of focus
was Joseph Beales and the
sharpness of Friday nights
performance was clear tri-
bute to the quality of his ef-
forts. To all those involved;
Thank You!

Burglarize
Redford’s
apartment

The New York City apart-
ment of actor Robert Redford
was hit by burglars and two
teenagers who live nearby
were charged with the crime,
police reported.

Police said the actor's wife,
Lola, was alone in the apart-
ment when she was awak-
ened by a noise in her bath-
room at about 2:20 a.m. She
called the building’s doorman
and he called police.

The intruders, apparently
hearing Mrs. Redford on the
telephone, climbed on to the
roof, officials said.

Police said Pierre Palmer
and Anthony Marquez, both
17, were charged with bur-
glary. Both also live on Fifth
Avenue in the Big Apple.

Nothing was stolen and no
one was injured, police said.

No need to drum up a crowd

By Mary Campbell

NEW YORK (AP) —
‘Twenty years after they first
performed as a trio, Peter,
Paul and Mary don’t have to
drum up crowds any more.
But they still work on their
music.

If they didn’t, says Peter
Yarrow, “It would become
blase and wouldn't have that
snap.

“We can't maintain excel-
lence without reaching for it
and challenging ourselves all
the time,” he says. “We work
up new songs, rehearse the
old ones, argue about vocal
and guitar parts and the
meaning of the material and
the best arrangement to
show the lyrics’ intent.”

This fall, Mary Travers is
taking voice lessons to give
herself a “head tone” for the
high notes, instead of the
chest tone she has used all
along.

Yarrow, Travers and Paul
Stookey rehearsed — three
singers, the men also playing
guitar — for nine months in

In October, 1981, they re-
corded the first of fowr nights

live album. f2ts

“How many times have you
heard audiences referred to
as fickle?” Stookey says. “I
have. But ours aren't.”

Twenty years ago, Peter,

Paul and Mary’s folk songs
like If I Had A Hammer were

d as popular music.

ALL
CANDIDATES

“In the face of five years of
disco, punk, new wave and a
kind of despair in popular
music, there has been a kind
of renaissance of our kind of
music,” Travers says.
“There’s a feeling that is
more than nostalgia. It is like
a reconfirmation of the valid-
ity of a particular style and
intent that is surviving and
becoming classi

Says Yarrow: “I think we
presumed when we started
singing, and it felt so good,
that we would continue to be
together forever. But there
came a time in which we
really had different things we
wanted to say from that
stage. Then, it could have
been demeaning to have
continued.”

So, in 1970, they disbanded
a trio which some years gave

Rock Hudson

260 concerts and had sold
millions of records. Yarrow
began to pursue a career that
included songwriting, pro-
ducing records and TV spec-
ials, organizing talent for
events like anti-nuclear ral-
lies,'and making sure he had:
time for his two children. ~

Stookey is making an ani-
mated children’s show for TV
and, using his real first name,
Noel, performs with a band
for a largely Christian audi-
ence, music that is more folk
than gospel.

career, and the two musi-
cians who accompany her of-

Heart surgery

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Film and television star Rock
Hudson is expected to spend
the next two weeks in a
hospital after heart bypass
surgery, described by. his
manager as “an unqualified
success.”

“His heart is functioning
perfectly on its own, with no
si of any complications,”
said Tom Clark personal
manager for the 55-year-old
actor.

Arteries feeding the heart
muscle were bypassed in
surgery Monday at Cedars-
Sinai Medical Centre.

“We're lucky they caught
it this early,” Clark said.
“The doctors said he could
have had a fatal heart attack
within a month.”

The surgery was ordered
after a test indicated possible
blockages or arteries sup-
plying the heart muscle with
blood, Clark said. He said
reports of defects in heart
values were incorrect.

After his hospital stay,
Hudson will recuperate at

The Best
of Both Sides.

KAMLOOPS (CP) — Pro-
ducing, performing and
promoting your own record
album can be a risky busi-
ness, but Vancouver singer
Terry Wicks is confident that
his album is a front runner.

Called The Best of Both
Sides, it features jazz and
rock on one side and country
music on the other. And for
good measure, strains of folk,
rhythm and blues and easy

listening styles are threaded —

throughout.

The 31-year-old singer rec-
ognizes the danger of turning
off listeners who buy records
that neatly fit under precise
categories and of missing the
boat with radio station dir-
ectors who aim at. specific
audiences. But the important
thing was creating an album
that reflected his own per-

onality and taste, he said in
a‘recent intervitw during. a
B.C. Interior tour.

“It's basically country boy gs

comes to the city,” he said.

“The country boy plays’
country and western and the
city boy plays rock and jazz
... T have different moods
and that’s what music is.

Why shouldn't a record have |

different sytles?”

Wicks says there's more
crossover artists in the field
today (people who can fit in
more than one musical cate-
gory) which may boost the
record’s chance of success.
