Battg (Ear Mrri Pauper Players to host Broadway revue show Sees 'Melodies 9 as break in routine ' BY TOM PREVITE STAFF WRITER Pauper Players will present its annual smorgasbord of musicals, “Broadway Melodies 2004,” begin ning at 8 p.m. Thursday at Gerrard Hall. The show includes brunch as an appetizer, a nightmare as its main course and Arnold Schwarzenegger as dessert. “It’s three shows in one,” said Beth Jones, community publicist for Pauper Players. “One pertains to theater, one is centered around a diner and one is pretty much making fun of Arnold —a play on the Terminator.” The musical marks the begin ning of Pauper Players’ spring semester and a slow-paced diver sion from the group’s high-profile performances. “We do two full-scale shows a year and this is just a side,” Jones said. “This is a break in between and not as much of a time com Stick to your ftju. y New Year’s Resolutions? low-cal, fat free choices Downtown Chapel Hill • 942-PUMP 106 W.

Pauper Players administrator Andrew Eckert said that the annu al revue show is one of Pauper Players’ most popular shows. “This is usually the one where we get the most people out because it’s fun,” Eckert said. “In the past we’ve had quite a few people come out.” The student-run group, estab lished in 1989, receives a small amount of money from student government and donations, but runs on a shoestring budget. “It’s always difficult with spaces being closed and renovations being up,” Eckert said. “We don’t have our own building. That’s where the ‘pauper’ comes from.” Although Pauper Players faces adversity, Moschler said that the group’s devotion to musicals sets it apart from other campus groups that focus on dramas. “I think it’s important for stu dents to see (musicals) every semester,” Moschler said. “They’re larger than life.” “Broadway Melodies 2004” runs at 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in Gerrard Hall. Tickets are $5 for UNC students, faculty and staff, and $lO for the general public. Contact the ACSE Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu. /The ( Princeton v —- Review BETTER SCORES.

Troy Deal, the president of Renissance Records, is a December graduate of N.C. State University. The label came to fruition in 2001, and Deal utilized many fund-raising efforts to kick the development into gear. “We started off selling commer cial street mix tapes along with throwing parties and hosting freestyle events,” Deal said.

The album will be available for purchase through Pay Pal for $5. “The album is superb it’s real ly good stuff and we’re hoping that people will give it a chance,” Deal said.
