CoimiMediGi lots of comedy imone
By STEVE CARR
Staff Writer
Commedia dellarte (working definition): "This is real
theatre, not pansy type of theatre." Audrey Toler is a
member of the troupe Commedia DeU'ArtSchool, a group
specializing in this special genre of Italian comic theatre.
"The commedia style involves characters used for
hundreds of years," Toler said. "It's visually exciting, the
costumes colorful, there's music, slapstick, acrobatics."
"Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges, Buster
Keaton, they're all sources of material," said Bob
Lehnburg, also a member of the troupe. "But we aren't
stealing nothing."
A typical feature of commedia dell 'arte is the use of
lazzu or physical humor that doesn't advance the plotline
but is very funny. "It's a physical aside," Lehnburg said.
"It's usually funny it might always be funny but
not necessarily so. We got a bunch of lazzi in our show,
needless to say."
Another feature of commedia dell'arte is the amount
of improvisation which the performers must do.
"Commedia rose out of the streets in Italy," Lehnburg
said. "You might have to get the attention from a dogfight.
It (improvisation) involves the use of the whole body
a fantastic amount,"
"The troupe, they all work together," Audrey Toler
said. "Everybody's in charge."
Instead of using improvisation during performance,
however, the Commedia DeH'ArtSchool has a different
technique.
"We get material from improvisation," Lehnburg said.
"We work 'improv to get a script, and then we follow
that script."'
However, Lehnburg said this did not spoil the freshness
of the experience.
"There's no fourth wall," he said. "We're delivering
ideas, jokes, looking the audience straight in the eye. It
gets them up because they don't expect it."
Commedia DeU'ArtSchool will perform Saturday at I and
3 p.m. at the Art School. Call 942-2041 for ticket
information.
Accused gimiminmgnnL held inn CeimtFal
Prisonn for' Monday's .31-flnonnir snege
From Staff Reports
Ralph Burnette, a Durham man
accused of firing at law enforcement
officials during a 31-hour siege Mon
day, is being held at N.C. Central
Prison, said Sergeant Crocker, prison
spokesman.
"He's been sent here to stay until the
trial," Crocker, said, and added that he
knew nothing about whether Burnette's
psychological condition had been
evaluated.
Mabel Horney, a spokeswoman for
Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, said
they had not heard whether Burnette
would be sent there for evaluation.
"He's not here yet, and we've not
heard that he's coming," she said.
Burnette was reportedly armed with
a .22-caliber rifle and barricaded himself
inside his home Monday morning and
would not surrender to police who were
attempting to serve him legal papers
requested by his mother, Julia Booth.
The papers concerned an involuntary
commitment to a psychiatric institution.
Police tear gas canisters started a fire
and forced Burnette out of his 601
Mallard St. home around 3:40 p.m. No
one was injured in the standoff.
Lt. George B. Hare, of the Durham
Public Safety Department, is handling
the case and was not available for
comment.

sponsored by Roman Wings will be
handed out Friday at the Pi Kappa Phi
Burnout and on Saturday afternoon at
Springfest sponsored by Henderson
Residence College, Kaminsky said.
Concert organizers were hoping for
a good turnout despite the postpone
ment, she said, adding that she didn't
think students would be tired of
concerts after the two events Friday and
Saturday before South Campus Jam.
Ferguson said the concert had a
budget, of approximately $5,000, with
$2,400 being paid to the bands and the
remainder going for publicity, T-shirts,
rent for Taylor's and a small amount
that was lost in equipment rentals when
the concert had to be postponed.
A check to The Daily Tar Heel paying
for an advertisement of South Campus
Jam at Taylor's was signed by John
Kelly, an agent for Consolidated
Entertainment Inc., the owner of Elliot's
Nest.
Brian Gallagher, acting manager of
Taylor's, said Thursday he did not find
it unusual that Kelly had paid for
advertising.

"There is no way we can sit in Chapel
Hill and be comfortable when there are

Miller, committee chair of the event.
Organizers chose Africare because it not
only sends food money to Ethiopia, but
