March 1.1977 The Shaming of the True BY JENNY WIEBLER Although I cannot condone the theme of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, the Revelers' pro duction under the direction of Dean Regenos, provided an evening of delightful enter tainment. Roseanne Pipkin offered a characterization of Katherine which indicated that no man could ever conquer her waspish tongue, but Andy Milliken as Petruchio quickly killed her spirit with "kindness" and won a truly submissive, dedicated wife. It was a fine performance. Jerry Sowers began the play as a minstrel, wander ing through the audience sparking interest and part icipation from the onset. He and Dean Regenos collaborated on a song, Marry a Shrew, with which Jerry prefaced each act. His voice enhanced the evening's performance and set the stage for some admirable acting. Gina Rumfelt, who played the desirable younger sister with many suitors, was convincingly coy and sweet. Piper Sets Photo/Poetry Deadline The Piper is planning a poetry/photography display in Founder's Gallery as well as the major publication. If you are interested in submitting material for either or both of these, please observe the following deadlines: March 2 poetry/photo graphy for the exhibit. (If this is too soon to have the actual material ready for submission, please express a commital interest by this date.) Please have photographs matted, mounted, framed, etc. Also signify if you wish the same work to be considered for the magazine. (Only black The English department at Guilford College will present Maria Ingram and Tom Huey in a program on The Southern Mystique in Poetry and Fiction at 8:15 p.m. Thursday, March 3, in the Gallery of Founders Hall. The program, open to the public, will be followed by a reception and discussion period. For a senior thesis, Gina should be pleased with her successful personification of Bianca. Tom Abrams, as her lover, proved he was the proper man to woo and win. Torn proved that he is equally as eloquent on stage as he is in Shakespeare class. The scenes where Tranio tutored Bianca under the watchful gaze of Hortensio (Don Wagoner) were comic and well done. Steve Batten, as the slave turned gentleman, was a bright spot as well. Other notable performances included John Beeler as another hopeful for the hand of Bianca. He was very witty, especially in his descriptions of Katherine, and in his presence on stage. Lilli Shacklett had a "plucky" part as the Widow, a relatively minor role to which she added many feathers. As Petruchio's servant, Ray Rinchiuso provided humour too. Although the setting was sparse, the costumes created by Constance Regenos and Madeline Ralston were and white photographs are acceptable for the magazine, but color is fine for the display.) March 16 poetry/photo graphy for the magazine. Any size, black and white photo graphs are fine. Also, artwork and photographs may be con sidered for the cover. Please have art work done in black and white also. We encourage your submissions which may be sent through campus mail The Piper, Box 17712, or given directly to Jeff Wright or Jamie Frye, Hobbs 12. Maria Ingram grew up in Kernersville and currently lives in Winston-Salem. Her first collection of poems, Maria, was published last year by Red Clay Press. Huey's play, Against the Middle, recently was produced by the Mantleworks Theater in Greensboro. His short stories and poems have been published throughout the South. The Guilfordian bright, clever, and in keeping with the Elizabethan period. I was impressed not only with the acting and the costuming but with the audience as well. On the evening I went, there was a full house, justifiably. I was also glad to be able to correlate the posters with the play. I thought the advertisements were well done but never caught the image of the apple core until I saw Katherine hurl one at Petruchio. But back to the theme. Katherine had an undeniably independent will suffocated by starvation and forced insomnia. If her master saw a man and said it was a woman, Katherine had to address him as "kind gentlewoman." How demeaningl Even though I clapped at the end (It was, after all, a good production) I wanted to hiss at the treat ment of women. The subju gation of either sex is not comic and the diminishing of a free spirit is something Shakespeare need not propo gate. !F( jO' A"Wf£^/#A/ BASIB Presents "Contributions" The brothers and sisters in Blackness (8.A.5.1.8.) at Guilford College prsents "Contributions" as the theme for Journey V (into Blackness) this year. "Journey into Blackness" is an annual 8.A.5.1.8. event coordinated for the purpose of enriching the Guilford College community with various cultural events as they are identified with black people, black culture, and black students at Guilford College. Now in its fifth year the name "Journey" is derived from an original program of events. Voices, Inc. from New York City performed a dramatic program entitled "Journey into Blackness." This program (of Journey into Blackness) is the "sequel of the Voices off-broadway hit. The Believers" which ran for one year several seasons ago. It depicts a musical survey of history. This year in Journey's sequel of events as it presents "Contributions" on schedule are: 1) Rod Rodgers Dance Co. of New York in Dance Poems 2) Symbol 8 - (dance band) of Greensboro 3) the Dudley High School Percussion Page 5 Band 4) Speakers forum or Southern Africa 5) Sickle Cell Anemia Seminar and Testing Clinic from the Triad Area 6) Gospel Service 7) Soul Food Dinner and few other cultural events. Each activity offers a contribution to your cultural experience. An itinerary of exact dates, times, and places will be published at a later date. "Contributions" says: We have been a people moving and discovering through dances lifting one's spirit through songs delivering the message through poems preaching the gospel through sermons contributing to the enrich ment of culture, person, and education Bringing to nations abroad a contribution one as deep as the earth and its Roots ... a people in blackness Eric L.
