Watching Menopause was a lot like • watching the 1996 hit movie, TTie First Wives C^ub, similar characters, similar women- uniting theme, middle-aged women singing. Luckily, the bigness of Bender’s choreog raphy help)ed remind us we were in a theatre. Menopause opened May 25 proving there is a market for professional conmiercial the atre in CTiariotte. TTie show is scheduled to close at the end of Octobo*, making it one of the longest-running shows in CTiariotte’s theatre history Levert, partners raise their ‘Voices’ Continued from page 1D in some background vocals.

Because the owner of this shrine has a “good head,” that is a good character, the cowrie sheUs are said to bring money to the owner of the shrine. The “Hunter’s Shirt” on dis play fix)m Mali is made of cloth, leather and decorated with shells, mirrors, metal and tiny leather pouches. A wall label says that the himter must not only be a master of the forests and ani mals but the himter must also have spiritual jx)wers to negotiate the dangerous sup)ematural realm. The tiny leather pouches of the himter’s shirt contain rolled up verses of the Quran and sp)ecial plants and herbs.

The cartoon character Tlntin and his white dog, Snowy, created by the Belgian artist Heige were shown in Cote dlvoire as an animated TV series. Afiican artists made wooden Tlntin dolls which are on dis play here. And on loan fix>m the collec tion of Afiican art historian Alice Bumeister, Ph D, asso ciated with Winthrop Univer sity, is a contemporarymale barber shop sign featuring in hip ydlow, red and blue all the haircuts the shop oflfers, “Mr. Lover Man,” “The Boe ing,” “The Concord,” “The Step Zip” which is a split- level haircut. Looking at this section of the exhibit, one gallery-goer was overheard saying “This is just like Pop Art!” Also finm Bumesiter’s col lection is a toy motorcycle and rider made of metal tomato cans and aerosol cans. The beauty of Afiican art is that items made for a fimc- tional purposes also rontain strong aesthetic qualities. Nowhere is this more appar ent than in the “Host Post Ladder” on display firom Mali. Here, villages were built on narrow cliff ledges. Ceremonial men’s houses are reached by these beautifully shaped ladders that contain as much aesthetic appeal as a work of sculpture by the incredible Afiican-American contemporary sculpture Mar tin Puryear.
