Strike at the Wind gears up for season General manager Carnell Locklear, who also doubles as the irrepressible "Boss Strong" in the outdoor drama "Strike at the Wind!" always begins praying that it won't rain too much about this time of the year. The popular outdoor drama that tells the bitter-sweet saga of Henry Berry Lowrie and the Lumbee In dians begins its 10th season this year on July 6 and runs through September 7. The family-oriented show runs each Thursday, Friday and Satur day beginning at 8:30 p.m. Locklear considers it a "momentous" occasion -- the 10th season oT a drama that was begun as part of America's bi-centennial celebration in 1976. Locklear, always optimistic where "Strike at the Wind!" is concerned, says, "We never know what the weather is going to do but we are always hopeful that we will have a season without too many rainouts." "Strike at the Wind!" depends on the weather and local talent for its success, and a number of cast members will be returning for another season. Locklear exults, "I am real ex cited. We have got a great cast, a lot of the same people that we had last year... and that makes a dif ference." Harvey Godwin returns as Henry Berry Lowrie and Hope Sheppard will recreate her role as the head-strong Rhoda Strong Lowrie. They are part of a 65 member ensemble of actors, technicians and back stage people who make "Strike at the Wind!" the unique success it has been since its begin ning 10 years ago. Back for his second season as Director will be David Oxendine, a native of Pembroke and a 1982 graduate of Catawba College. Oxendine has served previously as assistant director and has acted in the drama on several occasions. Oxendine is presently serving as drama instructor at Lumbee Regional Development Associa tion's (LRDA) Center for the Arts in Pembroke. Oxendine loves drama, and has acted or directed in four of the last six productions of the Robeson Little Theatre. He has also made commercials, and recently finished up an acting stint as one of the characters which will be shown in the Public Televi sion production of minutes com' memorating the 400th Anniversary of the founding of a colony at Manteo on Croatan Sound. Oxendine insists in profes sionalism, and applauds his mostly amateur cast. "We are all learning together, and I hope my ideas about acting will help make the production even better this year than it has been in the past." Oxendine sincerely believes this will be the best season of "Strike at the Wind!" He notes, "We have assembled the best possible cast and crew members for this season. 1 believe we have a great season ahead of us." Oxendine who added a hanging scene last year, is incorporating more action into the production for this year. "Strike at the Wind!" is a story that needs to be told, as Oxendine sees it. The drama points out the "futility of prejudice. It is a positive saga that will fill the heart with hope." As always, the drama will be held in the Red Banks area, ap proximately three miles west of Pembroke. For more information call 521-3112. SINAREST TABLETS 20's VM reg. 2.04 VASELINE HAIR TONIC 10 oz.
