“Your Arms To Short To

this past Monday at the
Winston-Salem Coliseum.
The musical was very good,
dealing entirely with direct
scenes out of the bible and
correlating them with Gos-
pel-Pop-Rock songs en
gulfed occasionally in mo
dern dance and colorful
lighting. The majority of
the songs started off slowly
and bluesy and moved into
a progressive gospel swing
which gave soloing vocal
ists a chance to exercise
their virtuosity.
Handclapping seemed to
be an immediate outreach
to the audience. Some
songs quickly reflected
shades from a previous
Winston-Salem show,
“Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t
Cope”. Ticket prices were a
little steep, especially for a
tobacco area where Broad
way musicals are rare and
few.
Anyone attending the
Coliseum affair would have
immediately wondered why
they didn’t present it at one
of our many “accoustically
balanced” and “theatrical
ly equipped” auditoriums
in Winston-Salem that had
no other activity scheduled.

then inked and pressed
down on paper or fabric
with the resulting print
called a woodcut.
In her demonstrations,
Irhy showed the children
wood carvings that she had
made on linoblocks, blocks
made out of linoleum,
which she said is easier to
make carvings than to use

of R.J. Reynolds High
School. She really didn’t
become interested in art
until she went to WSSU.
“I became interested in
art after I took a class from
Mr. (H.L.) Oubre, an art
instructor at WSSU,” Irby
said, between demonstra

but that’s because he wants
you to do the work. ’ ’
“At State you don’t have
all the equipment you need
in art, but he helps you to
do the best with what you
have,” Irby continued.
