BC Theatre to present
'The Shape of Things'
Oct. 8-10 at Porter Ctr
“Everybody has the abihty to be manipulative,
to be hateful and deceitful,” says playwright
Neil LaBute.
In The Shape of Things, LaBute proves just
this when Adam, an awkward security guard at
an art museum, and Evelyn, an art student with
a hidden agenda, serendipitously meet, leading
to a relationship that transforms Adam’s entire
person: his look, attitude and life choices.
But are these changes inspired by the benevo
lent and caring suggestions of a lover, or do they
have a different motivator?
This comedic and ultimately harsh look at the
lengths at which love, human cruelty, the drive
to succeed and friendship can intertwine, will
shock and intrigue the audience.
Brevard College’s Department of Theatre
Studies will present LaBute’s The Shape of
Things October 8-10 in The Morrison Playhouse
of the Porter Center for Performing Arts.
The play will be directed by Dr Kelly Carolyn
Gordon, coordinator of theatre studies at Bre
vard College, and designed by assistant profes
sor of theatre studies Kasendra Bell.
The exemplary cast of four includes freshman
Addison Dent as Adam, senior Caitlin Kennedy
as Evelyn, junior Adrian Wagner as Phillip and
sophomore Liz Ramsay as Jenny.
“It’s a good play for discussion,” Dent says.
“It will make you want to discover your own
definition of art.”
Performance doors will open at 7:30 p.m. on
Oct. 8-9. Curtain time for the evening shows
will be 8 p.m. A matinee will be held at 2 p.m.
on Sunday, Oct. 10. The doors for the matinee
show will open at 1:30 p.m.
Tickets for the performance are $ 10 for adults
and $2 for students (with a student ID). They
may be purchased in person or over the phone
(with a credit card) from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Monday through Friday at the Porter Center
Box Ofiice.
The Box Office will be open one hour before
the performances. For more information on
tickets, please contact the Porter Center Box
Office at (828) 884-8330.
As the play contains adult language and situ
ations, it is not suitable for children.

BC students head to Gauley Fest
By Dan Schreiman
Staff Writer
This weekend the American Whitewater
association is holding Gauley Fest and many
Brevard College student paddlers will be at
tending the festival.
Among those from the college attending this
weekend will be seniors Daniel Kreykes and
Jeff Franz and juniors Jay Wolfe and Graham
Jones.
The Gauley River is released only three week
ends each year, making Gauley Fest one of the
largest paddling festivals in the world.
The Gauley River has rapids from Class IV to
V (I being small and VI being hazardous).
All of the proceeds go to American White
water, a non-profit organization committed to
the restoration and protection of America’s
whitewater resources.
The festival has been held annually since 1983
at Summersville, W.Va.
In addition to paddling events, there will be
live entertainment, a raffle and a silent auc
tion.
'Forum'
from page 1
The issue of covering the smoking areas was
submitted to the Health and Wellness Committee
and they declined to pursue the inquiry.
In addition to these main concerns, those
attending the forum brought up issues
concerning: a campus issues blog, a campus
closed circuit TV channel, the issue of where
home football games are played and lighting
on campus.
