Ten years ago, ScheoKdds1 Records
brought the lowest prices in the
country to Chapel Hill. Todays
students still enjoy the lowest record
prices around thanks to
'ScheoIZdds9.
Our "competition" next door has
matched some of our prices on some
of their records in a desperate
attempt to close us down. This is so
they can raise prices back to their
chainwide $8.99 price.
If s hard to compete with one of the
nation's largest record chains. With
our price structure we can't flood the
FM airwaves like they do. We rely on
word-of-mouth advertising and
customer loyalty.
So before you buy an album at our
competition, remember why that
record is so cheap, and what will
happen to record prices in Chapel Hill
if we cease to exist.
Thank You

Premiere 'Oh Rats ! ' draws
comedy out of tragic past
By FRANK BRUNI
Staff Writer
There is, philosophers and poets say,
a fine line between any two extremes,
tragedy and comedy not excepted. But
a musical farce focusing on London in
1665-66, the years during which the
bubonic plague and the Great Fire of
London devastated the English popu
lation? Isn that taking thjngs too far?
Perhaps. But not in the eyes of Mark
Nielsen, whose original musical, Oh
Rats!y will be presented by the Chapel
Hill High School this weekend.
"Any play is nothing more than
finding a situation that has tension in
it and going from there," said Nielsen,
the 32-year-old CHHS cultural arts
director who wrote the book, music and
lyrics for the world-premiere play.
The comic-tragic tension of Oh Rats!,
Nielsen said, derives from the juxtapo
sition of a main plot depicting the
bungled, overlapping attempts of
Londoners to escape the quarantined
city with a subplot portraying the
spiritual degeneration of a woman who
turns to prostitution as a means of
survival.
Although Nielsen spoke with firm
conviction about the play in a recent
interview, he remembered well the first
time he was introduced to the play and
the incredulity with which he greeted
the concept of a comedy set against
disease and destruction.
"Oh Rats!" Nielsen explained, "was
originally adapted from a play by Philip
Persinger." Persinger and Nielsen were
enrolled together in a playwrighting
program at UNC in 1975. "When he
first told me about the play, I thought,
this guy's on drugs,' "Nielsen said. "But

JUST FOR YOU!
it turned out to be the funniest play
I'd ever read."
Nielsen saw musical possibilities in
the story and assumed the task of
transforming the play. For the past nine
years, he has worked sporadically on
it. The problems encountered by a 1980
incarnation of the musical "It was
too long and overly complicated,"
Nielsen recalled didnt dissuade him.
Nielsen committed himself to improving
the script and then last year "scheduled
the production for the fall so that I
would finish it. It was an intense
summer."
For Nielsen and for the CHHS
theatre department, Oh Rats! is a
special and atypical experience. Nielsen
said the cast of 11 principals and a
chorus of 15 was both unusual for a
CHHS musical and "very workable,"
and he has hired professionals to fill
in for the school's orchestra. "It's just
piano and percussion, with some
synthesizer," said Nielsen. "We wanted
to stick to something that we knew
would work."
"But the most impressive thing about
the production," Nielsen said, "is the
effects we are using to recreate the Great
Fire, which occurs at the end of the
play." The question, of course, is how
this event fits in with what Nielsen
promised is "an upbeat ending."
The answer awaits those who venture
over to the high school and back three
centuries in time this weekend.
Oh Rats! will be performed at 8 p.m.
today through Saturday and at 2 p.m.
