the Play Makers Repertory
Company's rendition of WA Child's
Christmas in Wales" that opens this
weekend.
' . "The play is like a river anyway
it all comes out of the language.
, It's deeper, richer a lot of things
1iave changed from last year."
PlayMakers chose to revive the
Tplay after "the wonderful popular
'and critical response" last season,
'.according to artistic director David
-Hammond.
Guest artist Winn, who portrayed
the lead role of Dylan last year,
didn't even hesitate in returning for
'Hhis run. "In over 300 plays, IVe
never experienced anything . . .
quite as lovely in the afterglow of
'this play. Everyone's eyes change
Hifter about a week."
! The play, by Jeremy Brooks and
Adrian Mitchell, is an adaptation of
a poem by the Welsh poet Dylan
Thomas. The poem combines many
of Thomas' memories of many
(Christmases into one day: "One
Christmas was so much like
another, in those years. I can never
remember whether it snowed for six
days and six nights when I was
twelve, or whether it snowed for
twelve days and twelve nights when
I was six."

with friends, families, feasts and

PlayMakers own Susanna Rine
hart and Eben Young will be por
traying Thomas' mother and father.
Thomas' friends will be played by
Derek Gagnier, Matt Ryan and
Steven Pounders.
The musician will be played quite
naturally by Barney Pilgrim, who
has performed locally with groups
such as the Red Clay Ramblers, the
Shady Grove Band and Touchtone.
Pilgrim will be performing live on
various instruments throughout the
production. "Hell be wandering
around," Winn said. "A sort of
minstrel."
Winn said that he could already
tell many things have changed about
the play after successfully doing the
run once. "Last year, I didn't know
how the monologues worked. It's
almost like doing a study with a
richer language."
Winn said that the play was for
all ages. "There's no time limit of
being too old or too young for this."
He remembered last year that
grandparents would often bring
their grandchildren, whose feet
couldn't touch the floor from the
chair, and the children loved it.

character. That must be what
hooked the audience."
Christmas is a universally felt
experience. "It's funny that the "
human beast takes the darkest part
of the year to look back to the
light," Winn explained, adding that
he always looked forward to going
to his father's in Colorado for
Christmas, and that "A Child's
Christmas in Wales" intensified that .
anticipation. "(The play shows) a
series of rituals that lets us see
ourselves."
Winn remembers also, from last
year the chronic lack of sleep he suf
fered while doing the run. "I'm like a
candle and I'm on fire, with colors
and flames. It's a total experience of
everything that's around you. This
must be what it's like to be a child.
If that's what Dylan Thomas felt
like, that's worth dying for."
A Child's Christmas in Wales
opens Saturday night and will run at
the Paul Green Theatre on Wednes
days through Saturdays until Dec.
17 at 8 p.m. and on Sundays
through Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. General
seating tickets for special Tuesday
night performances are available
Dec. 6 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. at a
reduced rate. For additional infor
mation, call 962-1121.
Art history
By JACKIE DOUGLAS
Staff Writer
Jay Judson believes that stu
dents can observe the world
around them in a more fulfil
ling way if they take an art history
course.
"Taking an art history course
teaches students how to look and
see," said Judson, a Kenan professor
of art history at UNC. "It teaches
students another way of thinking
and another way of expressing
themselves in essays.
"Art also teaches students to open
their eyes -and understand what
images mean," he said.
Judson began teaching at UNC in
1974. He was also chairman of the
art department for six years. But he
said he didn't like his administrative
position, claiming he would rather
be researching the art that interests
him, such as the art of the Nether
lands and of the artists Rubens and
Rembrandt.
He said he became interested in
this particular art when he was an
undergraduate at Oberlin College in
Ohio. "I had a terribly good profes-:

sor when I was an undergraduate at
Oberlin," he said. "I began to get
interested in how and why the artists
created their works I wanted to
know what historical or literary
events occurred that might have
been responsible for the art.
"It's interesting to note what the
subjects in the paintings tell you
about the historical and social situa
tion of the time."
After graduating with a degree in
history and economics at Oberlin
College, Judson became a merchant
seaman during World War II. "The
war showed me that life is a bit
more serious and also made me
realize that being a student is impor
tant," he said. .
After the war, Judson earned his
master's degree at New York Uni
versity's Institute of Fine Arts and a
Ph.D. in art history in Holland at
the University of Utrecht. He was a

Judson has written six books,
received Guggenheim and Fulbright
fellowships, and been awarded the
Rubens medal from Antwerp, Bel
gium. He also was asked to write the
Rembrandt entry for the Encyclope
dia Brittanica.
Because of his art expertise, Jud
son often gets calls from museums
and art collectors who are consider
ing purchasing a painting and want
to determine if it is genuine. Stylistic
elements in a particular artist's
paintings usually don't vary, Judson
said, so he looks for a certain conti
nuity in their work.
For Judson, it is frustrating when
people buy art only for an invest
ment or as a symbol of social status.

Some of the various entertainment
at Coffeehouse will be bands, gui

dancer and the Loreleis. All of the
entertainers are volunteers, and most
of them are students, Ghate said.
Coffeehouse's large menu includes
hot cider, coffee, soup, chili, subs,
cheese, chicken wings, cheesecake,
brownies, ice cream, soft drinks and
cookies.
Crafts Fest is a major fund raiser,
for the 128-year-old Campus Y. The
University does not give program

Geer said there has been an ongo
ing problem with current use of
weight facilities for general students.
Also, aerobics classes fill quickly and
students interested in getting involved
with those are limited in what they
can do.
Geer said she visited many colleges
and universities on the East Coast to
examine what sort of facilities they
have there. '
She said she found that, even

"Speaking as an idealist, I think art,
should be available for eveyone to
look at and to enjoy, rather than
locked away for years until the
investor is ready to sell it," he said.
