Meredith College Presents:
Noy No Nanette
Amy Damone
Contributing Writer
For the rest of the
week, Jones Auditorium
will be all a-buzz with
toe-tapping tunes, drop-
waist dresses, and the
s^les of a simpler time.
Meredith Performs
is preparing for No, No,
Nanette, this year's spring
musical.
No, No, Nanette is
billed as "the new 1925
musical." It originally
debuted on Broadway in
1925 and was revived in
1971.
The show, set in the
1920s, centers on Jimmy
and his family and
friends. Jimmy is a bible
publisher and philanthro
pist who finds himself
in a lot of trouble when
his philanthropy ends
up looking more like
philandering with some
ladies. His niece Nanette
is trying to find a happy
medium between settling
down and having an
active and full life.
The show is filled
with music of a jazzier
time and dances full of
chorus girls. Two of the
show's most well known
musical numbers are
"Tea for Two" and "I
Want to be Happy."
Directed by the Dance
and Theatre Department
head, Cathy Rodgers,
Nanette features a cast
of Meredith College stu
dents and a few familiar
faculty faces.
In a world of hook
ups, drama and tension,
Meredith Performs hopes
to spread a little sunshine
to you and invites you
to tap your way back to
the happy and effortless
times of 1920.
Performances are
February 19-23 at 8
p.m., and February
24 at 2 p.m. in Jones
Auditorium. Tickets are
$10 for adults, $5 for stu
dents/seniors, and cost
nothing for Meredith stu
dents, faculty and staff.
For ticket reservations,
call the Meredith College •
Box Office at (919) 760-
2840 or e-mail th^m at
boxoffice@meredith.edu.
Reservations are highly
recommended.
Meredith Think Pink Game
Shiara Molina
Staff Writer
It's Think Pink Week
and all NCAA teams are
participating to support
the fight against Breast
Cancer. On Sunday, the
Meredith Angels bas
ketball team played the
Christopher Newport
Captains for Think Pink
Day.
Christopher Newport
came in as the best
team in the conference,
but they were unable
to leave Weatherspoon
Gymnasium without a
fight. For a major part
of the first half, the
Angels maintained the
lead. The Angels had a
12 point lead with about
six minutes to go, but the
Captains kept chipping
away until they led 40-38
during halftime.
The Angels came out
on fire in the second
half, and, as in most of
their games, they had
the lead. Nicole Hall
was hitting her shots and
ended up with 22 points
while Britney Cornelius
and Whitley Turner were
rebounding as well as
contributing their 20 plus
points. However, the
Angels got to the line
only twice throughout
the entire game while
the Captains were able to
get to the line 33 times.
The Angels have no
game down in the post
and they rarely drive, so
they are unable to get
foul calls. When they
finally got a call, Nicole
Hall missed both her free
throws. The Angels for
the most part are a poor
free throw shooting team
and they have to get to
the line if they want to
win games.
The team’s rebound
ing stats have gone up
this season-a plus--but
the loss of Amanda Street
at point has seemed to
hurt the Angels. There
were times during the
game when Meredith got
the rebound and a fresh
shot clock, but there was
no true point guard to
dish the ball out and set
up. The Angels must
find a way to move the
ball and develop their
half court game.
This team is full of
potential, and it's just
devastating to see them
lose their leads. The
bright side, though, is
that they did, in fact,
have a lead against the
best team in the confer
ence. Hopefully, this
game is something they
can build on.
