University Players will run their last production of the semester, "Extremities," this week until Friday, Nov. 18 at 8:00 p.m. in the Countdown Theatre in Sloan. Fitting in with many of the other thought-provoking performances this fall, "Extremities" deals with heavy issues that are associated with an attempted rape and the victim's response.
The hopes and dreams of Kenny Scharlatt may have been put on hold, at least for one season of "Nashville Star". The junior spent Saturday in Pittsburgh trying out for the show, the country music equivalent of "American Idol". After singing 30 seconds a cappella of 'Calling Baton Rouge' a popular song by a hero of Scharlatt's, Garth Brooks, Scharlatt got the disappointing news that Saturday, unfortunately, would be the end of his tryouts during the weekend.
Since this will be the last article I'll have the opportunity to write for this paper, I was hoping I'd be able to go out with a bang, writing about a movie that would put great cinema, such as "The Godfather," to shame, a movie that I could praise to the skies and beyond.
Price Auditorium became the location of two very intimate and enjoyable acoustic sessions by Eric Himan and Andy Moore this past Friday. As their fingers danced across the strings and their voices echoed off the walls, the audience sat in awe of the two boisterous and incredibly authentic performers.
Larry Yazzie, a Native American dancer and storyteller, was welcomed to speak about his background and perform on Nov. 10. Yazzie has won many awards and competitions for his talents in Fancy Dancing, a popular form of dance among American Indians. He has been performing for 30 years and competing since his early teens.
A performance at the end of the semester is usually not in the course description for classes here at Lock Haven. There are classes, however, that require just that. Over 50 dancers will take the stage in the annual Fall Dance Concert sponsored by the LHU Department of Performing Arts and the SCC.
During the summer of 2005, a group of students representing Lock Haven University traveled to Belize, a small country in Central America, to assist with the construction of an office at a hurricane shelter. The group also took part in other projects alongside a local church to provide community service in this poverty-stricken country.
