Sometimes the best things in life are in
deed free.
There is no admission charge for How
I Got That Story, a UNC Laboratory
Theatre production that opened this
weekend, but the play is probably the best
theatrical performance given in the
Triangle this year.
Amlin Gray's self-proclaimed "night
mare comedy" is about a reporter, em
ployed by an international wire service,
who covers a war in a country called Am
boland. Gray's two-act work shows what hap
pens when a journalist becomes the story
he was originally sent to report. As a
crusty wire service boss tells the reporter,
"Sometimes a reporter goes to cover a
story and the story ends up covering the
reporter."
How I Got That Story features a cast
of about 25 characters. Kimball Crossley
plays the reporter; Michael Louden
handles the rest and a large number of
sound effects, to boot.
It would be easy to spotlight Louden's
performance. He draws on seemingly
limitless reserves of energy, playing male
and female, brassy and introspective,
brief and lengthy roles with equal ease.
His three best characterizations are the
reporter's wire service boss, a moody G.I.
the reporter interviews in a seedy bar, and
the young Ambonese prostitute with
whqm the reporter has several en
counters. Playing a close second to these
are, Louden's appearances as a goony
photographer who will do anything to get
a good shot.
Crossley, however, is not to be out
done. The range of his one character is
comparable to what Louden gives his
many roles. His metamorphosis is
measured and believable, and ultimately
shattering.
Undoubtedly both of these young ac
tors will be heard from professionally.
The same could be said for Jeffrey
Stepakoff, responsible for directing and
designing the show. His blocking is inven-

tive, and his imaginative lighting design,
with over 100 separate cues, brilliantly
highlights changes of pace as well as
locale. From the moment the audience
enters the Lab Theatre, Stepakoffs
designs begin to set the play's scene.
Stage manager Debi Major and lighting
operator Murphy Townsend should be
congratulated also; surely they have no
small part in making the play's intricate
scenic and costume changes come off like
clockwork.
Productions like this one call into ques
tion the department of dramatic art's
eschewal of sinking money into full
staged undergraduate productions. This
shoe-string budget production provokes
thoughts of what Stepakoff and his in
genious company could have done with a
little money. It is too their credit, and not
the department's, that the show is a
triumph of such enormous magnitude.
How I Got That Story will be per
formed today at 4 and. 8 p.m. in 06

growth in high-technology businesses and
the general quality of life in the state,"
said John Walker, assistant to the dean in
the UNC School of Business Administra
tion. "
Education is very important to the
state's success, he said.
"People tend to think primarily of the
university system, which is very impor
tant. But of equal or greater importance
are the community college system and the
technical college system. If you don't
have a trained work force that tech
nology's high growth needs, they'll move
somewhere else."
In addition, state government has
become increasingly attuned to the needs
of small business.
"The state has an agency called the
N.C. Technological Development
Authority that was formed by an enact
ment of a bUl in July 1983," Walker said.
"The purpose is to increase the rate that
new jobs are created throughout North
Carolina by stimulating development of
new and existing small businesses."
One program formed by the Develop
ment Authority, he said, is the Incubator
Facilities Program which provides one
time grants to small businesses for low
rent office space, office equipment and
shared support systems. These systems
give owners advice on how to get their
businesses started and how to keep them
going, Walker said.
One key to keeping businesses going is
large-scale investment. The Council on
Economic Development will sponsor a
large meeting of investors and small
businessmen this year, Walker said.
. "The Venture Capital Fair will bring
together people with a need for money
and people with money to lend."
Businesses needing money submit plans
and make 15-20 minute presentations to
venture capitalists usually people who
act for a group of private investors or
companies. Certain companies are chosen
by the venture capitalists and the two par
ties work out an investment plan, he said.
Venture capitalists are a very important
source of funds for small businesses
because they often have anywhere from
$10 million to $100 million to invest,
Walker said.
The eventual success or failure of a
small business, however, results from
basic business know-how.
"The success of small business depends
on an interworking of qualified people
and good ideas," Walker said. "It has to
be a business. A good idea by itself is not
a business."
People feel that the world will beat a
path to their doorstep because they've
come up with a new product, he said. But
a company must have good marketing
and a good organizational structure. It
must combine research and development,
accounting and pricing, Walker said.
