ACTS & ENTEKTAINMENT Tales of the ‘Jazz Age’ by l.ia Braganza, Arts Editor Meredith Perfomuannounced its second stage production for Che 1985-1986 school year. Tales of ihe Jazz Age. Originally titled ne Lost Genera tion, it is a unique survey of artists from the 1920's. The play includes aaors portraying George and Ira Gershwin, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgo'ald, Ernest Hemingway, and Isadora Duncan. A special evening in Russia by tia Braganza, Arts Editor G osh, can we stop talking about politics? Maybe it's better to sit and see good theatre.” That was the thoughtful reflection of Tatyana Belor last Wed nesday night, after seeing “The Storm*' at the Playmakers Repertory Com-, pany in Chapel Hill. She and her fiusband, Yuri, both professors at the North Carolina School of the Arts immigrated to America from their native country, Russia, in the early 1980’s. Yiiri, instructor of Stomislovski and com edy, and Tatyana, instructor of her family trade, that of clowing comedy, were participants in the open-audience discussion following the performance. The play is about the tragic life, decisions and consequences faced by Katerina Petrovna Kabanova who falls in love with another man, although she is already married. It is her grief in dealing with the situation and the atti tudes of the society that make the tra^c end inevitable and reassuring. The play runs through Nov. 24 at the Paul Green Theatre in Chapel Hill. No latecomers can be seated due to the actors’ use of the exits. Each charaaer discusses what con tribution he or she made to fine arts and presents a piece of it. The play is tied together by the life histories revealed and the somewhat scandalous relationships some these artists shared. A flapper and jazz music create the appropriate ambiance to assimilate this crazy era called the jazz age. Dr. Creagh will direct this show to be presented in the Studio Theatre next Felwuary. He is looking for inter ested and talented musicians, dancers, and actors and actresses. Casting is open to all for all charac ters: George and Ira Gershwin: com poser and lyricist; Dorothy Parker; humorist; Ernest Hemingway: author.

The tough get growing Continued from page 2 is in the best interests of the paper. Improving every aspea of the paper has been our goal. A name change would . positively strenghen these changes. This strength must come from within this publication and should be reflected on its masthead. As co-editors, Beth and I know we have the responsibility to sug gest and spearhead this change. I have not had an easy time being editor of this paper. I've been kicked a lot of times. The paper has been kicked a lot of times, too. But one thing I can say is that when the growing pains have got ten tough, we've kept on growing. The staff Beth and I head have been wonder ful to work with — especially these last few weeks. I'd like to thank them for their support and work. I was elected co-editor of the campus newspaper last year. And now, 1 gladly resign that position to become the ed iior of the real campus newspaper we have become. ^ Cynthia L Chqrch November 25,1965 5
