Company Carolina
to perform ‘Songs’
BY ANDREW CHAN
STAFF WRITER
All humanity is interconnected
in Company Carolina’s expansive
and ambitious new production,
opening today at Playmakers
Theatre.
“Songs for a New World” is a
musical that follows the lives of 16
different characters. Played by only
two female and two male under
graduates, the various personae
include politicians, lovers, New
York housewives and Mrs. Claus.
The locations are far-ranging as
well: The first song starts the musi
cal on a Spanish ship in 1492, while
the last number is set on a revolu
tionary battleground in 1775.
In between are samplings of both
contemporary and historical times.
“(The show) doesn’t have a con
tinuous plot, but it has a general
theme, which is that of personal
journey” said director Brian Fenty,
a sophomore.
What unites the song cycle’s dis
parate stories is its music, which
was written more than a decade
ago by Tony Award-winning com
poser Jason Robert Brown.
“Two or three years ago, I listened
to the CD, and the way he writes
music is how people talk and think,”
said Meghan Lumsden, a sophomore
starring in the production.
Displaying a diverse musical
taste, Brown who often is com
pared with Billy Joel integrates
rock, gospel and ballads into one
overarching style.
“It’s an extremely challenging
piece, and David Moschler (the
music director) has put together a
phenomenal orchestra. Everyone is

very professional,” Fenty said.
Fenty originally proposed the
musical as a Company Carolina
project, partly because he is per
sonally acquainted with Brown.
“He was my camp counselor
at French Woods Festival in New
York. This was 10 years ago, right
when this show came out, and I fell
in love with it,” he said.
The small cast and orchestra
have been rehearsing since late
February and have experienced
the difficulties of interpreting the
musical’s unique style.
“It’s a challenge to direct an inti
mate show like this in such a big
theater and to create a space that
interests the audience,” Fenty said.
“Songs” moves through the emo
tional spectrum from anticipation
to desperation to inner peace.
Haley Swindal, another cast
member, said its message will reso
nate with University audiences.
“We’re comfortable in college,
but we’re going to be scared when
we graduate,” she said. “The show
is about embarking on something
new, and throughout there is a par
allel between excitement and fear.”
Tickets are on sale in the Pit and
also can be purchased at the door.
They are $5 for students, $8 for fac
ulty and $lO for the general public.

Campus park to revamp trails, tranquility
BY DEBORAH NEFFA
STAFF WRITER
While noisy construction fills
the air on campus, a more serene
atmosphere surrounds the more
remote renovations.
Battle Park, a 93-acre wooded
area on the east side of campus, is
the site of an ongoing restoration
to its approximately two miles of
pedestrian trails.
Some of
the changes
include the
addition of
side trails, the
removal of
invasive exotic
plants and the
introduction
of bridges and

curator is overseeing the restora

He said that even though the pro
cess which was outlined during
the summer of 2004 might be
close to completion in a few years,
work will never be completely done
due to recurring modifications.
A ceremony was held this past
September to mark the completion
of restoration of the main pedes
trian trails, but there is room for
more side trails, said Peter White,
director of the N.C. Botanical
Garden.
White said Chancellor James
Moeser set the restoration in
motion during the previous sum
mer.
“The chancellor was the one
who made the pledge to restore the
trails in the park,” he said.
“The trail system that we started
with the chancellor’s initiative is
done, but there are two or three
opportunities for trails that we’re still

White said the garden’s curators
also want to provide educational

“We are doing a botanical and
ecological survey of Battle Park

said.

Think you know about
Genital Herpes?
45 million Americans have genital herpes
and...
Up to 90% of those infected with the virus
don’t know they have it.
Here are some other things you may not know:
• 1 in 5 Americans (teenage and over) have genital herpes.
• Most people infected with the genital herpes virus either
don’t recognize their symptoms or don't have symptoms
at all.
• Genital herpes is often mistaken for other conditions.
In addition to blisters and sores, other symptoms of herpes
include bumps, cuts, itching, redness, or tingling around
the genital area; vaginal discharge; or pain while urinating.
• One study found that up to 70% of people who had genital
herpes got it from their partner when they had no signs
or symptoms of an outbreak.
• Having genital herpes may double the risk of acquiring HIV.
There’s a simple blood test that can tell you
whether you have genital herpes.
Get tested and take charge of your sexual health.
The more you know about herpes, the more you can
do to reduce its impact on your life.
