PRC drama artfully done from viall rt inrK The scene: Illyria. The Play: Twelfth Sight. The company: Playmakers Reper tory Company. The production: the theatrical event of the season! Playmakers Repertory Company has put together fabulous acting, an exquisite setting, and exciting directing in a not-to-be-missed production of a Shakespearean classic. Linwood Taylor's scenic design uses the Paul Green Theatre to create an Il lyria which includes a stream of running water, an expansive bridge and a sandy shore. The effect is wonderful, yet the set never overwhelms the production. The music, composed and adapted by Paul Schierhorn, is yet another star of the production. His music is both haunting and lyrical, echoing and complementing the play beautifully. Even though his por trayal of Orsino, the count in love with Olivia, is not up to the standards set by fellow cast members, he is easily forgiven for his music contribution. J. Smith Cameron gives a winning per formance as both Sebastian and Viola, the twin brother and sister who have been shipwrecked on Illyria with each one be lieving the other has been drowned. Her differentiation between the two characters is largely successful, capturing the subtle character differences between the brother and sister in love. John Rainer as the ill-used Malvolio gives a hysterical performance. His per formance of the letter speech should be bottled and sent home with the audience to cheer them up when they are depress ed. Wanda Bimson is entrancing as Olivia, the object of Orsino's love and Viola's wooing in the guise of Cesario. Her shift from melancholy to infatuation from the attentions of Viola is magical. As Feste, Olivia's fool, Gregory Boyd gives a lesson in the virtues of under playing. His fool is at once sad, brilliant and wise. Emile Jean Trimble hauntingly performs the fool's singing voice, a per fect complement to Schierhorn's score. , Hamilton Gillett a melancholy Sir Toby Belch and Paul Miles Sir An drew Aguecheek play two rogues who delight in the plot against Malvolio. They do not quite transcend their roles, but their performances do not detract from the production. Maxine Taylor-Morris splendidly portrays Maria, the servant of Olivia who plans the planted letter . escapade. Director David Rotenberg leads the au- ' dience through 2Vz hours of beautiful words and music with ease. The time seems much briefer, and a truly magical feeling pervades long after the actors have taken their final bows. The performance continues through April 25. Tickets are available at the Graham Memorial box office or by call ing 962-1121. The weekend also included the final presentation of the Carolina Union's Broadway on Tour series, They're Play ing Our Song. Originally produced on Broadway with Lucie Arnaz and Robert Klein, the piece is really a vehicle for the two stars with a book by Neil Simon, music by Marvin Hamlisch, and lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager. A Neil Simon musical poses a parti cular timing problem, and They're Play ing Our Song fails when this problem is unresolved. Because Simon relies on the humorous banter of his characters to sus tain the builds of the play, the intrusion of music results in a weak overall pro duction. Hamlisch's music is an en joyable respite, but it becomes the main focus of the play and overpowers the story. Thus, the characters gain no em pathy from the audience in regard to their ups and downs and the play becomes a waiting game between musical numbers with Simon's book simply entertaining filler. - , -r Richard Ryder and June Gable are par tially successful in establishing portrayals of the neurotic composer and the wacky lyricist he falls in love with. Their task, unfortunately, is complicated by their need to both escape from the bounds of the Arnaz and Klein characterizations and yet remain true to the original pro duction. Gable fares best, but her character allows more interpretation due to her wackiness. The scenery and projections by Douglas W. Schmidt are inventive, rely ing on multiple slide projections to form the different settings with a rninimum of set pieces. This process is an effective choice and allows the set changes to become an integral part of the produc tion. The song's the thing, not the play, but They're Playing Our Song is a theatrical, entertaining way to listen to an evening of decent pop songs. J BARGAIN MATINEES $2.00 'TILL 6 PM MON.-FRI.

In the Blue-White game, a sort of test flight for the football team prior to its 1982 lift-off in September, it was bombs away as quarterbacks Rod Elkins and Ike Brady amassed 420 yards passing and threw for four touchdowns. For the record, the Blue team beat the White 34-17 in the annual dress rehearsal. But aside frorn determining who ate steak and who got hot dogs for dinner at the Training Table, the final score was not all that important. As the culmina tion of spring practice, the ' game . is designed to give coaches a final look at the squad and players a final crack at distinguishing themselves. Coach Dick Crum said UNC accomplished both goals and displayed fine form on the field. "It was a pretty good spring game," Crum said. "I don't think there were any fumbles, only one interception and very few penalties. Both quarterbacks threw well and the teams were evenly matched." . The game was dominated by offense and characterized by big plays. Double agent quarterbacks Elkins and Brady re mained loyal to neither teams, switching back and forth at the helm of both the Blue and White squads. Elkins or chestrated two scoring drives for different teams in the first quarter. He completed 12-, 30- and 8-yard passes to Mark Smith before White-team fullback Eddie Colson took the ball at the one-inch line. Elkins came back two minutes later with a; 16-yard touchdown pass to Blue rerw',w p"l Wintield. Brady, sophomore walk-on from Mebane, .N.C., then got into the aerial show by firing a 54-yard bomb to Victor Harrison, who tiptoed down the sideline as if he were Karl Wallenda on the high wire.. . " . Larry Griffin raced down the same sideline two minutes later, but he was headed in the opposite direction and car rying an Elkins pass. The 49-yard scoring play left the score 14-13, White. Brooks Barwick opened the third quarter with a 20-yard field goaL but that was the last time the White team led. Junior James Jones scored on a one-yard plunge, Winfield grabbed a 58-yard pass from Elkins and Jones took it in from 11 yards out to bury the White team 34-17. "A year ago there was no offense at all. It was a 6-3 game, all field goals," Crum said. "We scored more today and I think the thing that helped was the alter nating quarterbacks." Crum also had praise for punters Rob Rogers and David Lowe as well as linebackers Micah Moon and Troy Sim mons and tailbacks Tyrone Anthony and Ethan Horton. Notably absent from the game were Kelvin Bryant, who is healthy, and second-string quarterback Scott . Stankavage, out with a twisted knee. UNC is currently trying to arrange a nationally-televised opener against Pitt sburgh Sept. 9 in Three Rivers Stadium. "A good learning experiencethat's what spring is all about," Crum conclud ed. "Now we'll take time off for exams, recuperate over the summer and crank it up in the fall."
