Baroque opera to perform
The Carolina Baroque Opera, has
chosen to explore baroque opera
because the singing style is an
excellent means of training for a
career in opera.
According to Stephen
Blackwelder, conductor, "The
members of the company feel that
although in the recent past there has
been a decline in interest in opera in
the area, the Carolina Baroque
Opera is building new interest in and
creating new opportunities for
motivated individuals concerned
with all areas of opera production.

Painted sheets and paper scenery
By LIBBY LEWIS
Staff Writer
Toss together four musicians, 20
unlikely instruments, painted sheets for
backdrops, papier-mache costumes,
cardboard scenery and a dozen recruits
from the drama department. Throw it
on stage and what you've got is a mess,
unless it's the tremendously ingenious
"Joan of Arc" that was presented
Saturday night by the Bread and Puppet
Theatre in Memorial Hall.
The "picture show" consisted of nine
scenes done simply and without speech,
highlights from the story-of the invasion
of France and the life of Joan of Arc.
Musical interludes between the scenes
set the mood for each incident.
One scene, "A voice from heaven
speaks to the kitchen," showed Joan on
her hands and knees washing the floor.
Aluminum cans suspended by string
clattered together to provide the sound
of church bells. An angel (one of the
musicians) climbed a ladder to sound a
long horn." The call, repeated three

MELISSA SWICEGOOD
times, was mellow and strong, ending
with a compelling tremolo. The final
image was Joan, still kneeling, rapt.
This "picture" was a fair example of
what was done throughout the show.
Very serious and moving subjects were
dealt with simply and with a quiet sense
of humor. The effect was warm and very
human in spite of the caricature inherent
in the presentational style.
The story continued through the
Battle of Orleans and the crowning of
the Dauphin to the most moving of the
sences "A prison in the year of our
Lord 1430." Joan, trying to reach a bowl
of water, struggled to free herself from a
tangle made up of ropes and shrouded
fellow prisoners. As she was about to
touch the bowl a black-faced figure in a
top hat reached down and poured the
water out.
The ingenious simplicity of the Bread
and Puppet Theatre can only be
applauded, as it was Saturday night.
This group demonstrates the possibility
of a return to a popular live theatre.

Mountain simplicity won
By LIBBY LEWIS
Staff Writer
Memorial Hall reeked with the
glamouf and money of a Broadway
premiere Friday night, with the 1977
opening of the Carolina Regional
Theater production . of "Appalachia
Sounding."
The lights went up to first show
Scotty Collier and Jan Davidson
picking an old mountain tune that
they've undoubtedly played a hundred
times before, at all ungodly hours of the
night, together with good friends and a
lot of beer. (Anyone lucky enough to
attend one of Scotty Collier's parties can
attest to that.) Now, they were playing
the same tune surrounded by a glittering
audience and the dignity of a premiere.
It brought to mind what Carter's
inauguration must have been like the
cream of Washington society listening
to bluegrass and watching the Apple
Chill doggers. A beautiful contrast.
Playwright Romulus Linney's task of
writing a "documentary drama" was at
once easy and strenuous. The material
was there for the researching and the
interviewing, since the Appalachian way
of life is strongly alive today, and one
has only to travel through the
mountains of the Appalachian states to
see it. But Linney had to capture the
spirit of these people in ah artificial
medium hardly an easy task, even
though the spirit is a colorful one and
lends itself to dramatization.
Another hurdle Linney faced was his
intent to focus on the struggle of the
Appalachian people as a whole, over a
time span of 200 years, rather than
concentrate on the plight of one
particular family in one given time
hence, the absence of names for the
characters (other than "Father,"
"Mother," etc.). Each character
embodied a historical line of thinking,
behavior and attitudes that remained
stable through the harshest weather, a
national war, and the raping of the land.
What "Appalachia Sounding" lost in
dramatic tension as a result of Linney's
intent, it gained in the sheer liveliness of
the heritage he was depicting. It showed
itself in Collier's and Davidson's
wonderful music, as much as in the
colorful, humorous language of
mountain folk. When a person's

nervous in "Appalachia Sounding," he's
not just nervous he's "as nervous as a
long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking
chairs." And when a man's about to take
a wife, he wants to decide how many
children they'll have "this business of
the woman deciding when to put the
fiddle on the shelf and throw away the
bow is for the birds."
The acting was, for the most part,
excellent, save for times when the actors
could not be heard. Donald Reeves was
dramatically at home in the role of the
ather, a swarthy, stubborn, loving
character gruff on the outside, gentle
on the inside. He is as fiercely loving in
his embarrassment at being caught
singing a lullaby to his infant son
("Here! Take this critter! I'm no
nursemaid!") as he is in roughly pulling
his talkative wife down on his knee,
saying "Woman! Hesh!".
Barbara Lea as the M other has all the
energy and determination of the
mountain women she is portraying; she
carries the truth and realism of her
character as much in her performance as
in the content of her lines when a lazy
neighbor says, "Ye gotta trust these
hills. Trust. That's what gets us
through," she leans over in her rolled-up
sleeves and says wryly, "Trust. . .and a
powerful lot of sweat, blood, and elbow
grease, I say."
Marian Baer is delightful in all four
roles she plays. These are all strong,
happy women she portrays from a
Ginseng picker, to a "Cures Lady".
("To cure a fever blister, kiss a dog," she
advises), to a "Coal Woman" who has
psychic powers, or the "secon sight."
"Appalachia Sounding" is funded by
an interesting variety of organizations
historical, political, commercial and
artistic in nature. It will be touring 13
states this spring, after which a
videotape will be made for national
broadcast. Why all the attention?
Because Romulus Linney has struck the
core of the Appalachian mystique in
"Appalachia Sounding" with its
simplicity. That simplicity permeates
every moment, every detail of the play.
It is a re-creation not a replication of
the unpretentious truth of a people, and
the support of the play is an infectious
desire to keep this re-creation alive for
as long as our heritage has lived.
