Contest highlights events Next weekend previewed By BARBARA COLEMAN Of the Emerald If you feel artistic this weekend, you might make a trip up north to Cannon Beach. They’re having their annual Sand Castle Building Contest there this Saturday. You not only get the opportunity fo display your ar tistic talent, but you can soak up the sun of the Oregon beach. The only drawback is that there is no way to save your artwork for posterity. It will be washed away with the next tide. However, if there’s no possible way you can get to Cannon Beach this weekend, or even out of town, there are a few plays and movies showing. Carnival Theatre’s “Com pany” continues with three performances tonight, Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. under the Carnival Theatre tent. “Company” is a musical-comedy concerning the trials and tribulations of marriage. You might want to think about getting tickets for next weekend’s Carnival Theatre performances of “Life With Father.” The play begins at 8:30 on July 21 and 22. Tickets are available from the Carnival Theatre box office or at the EMU main desk. "1776” opens two weekends from now, but you might also want to get tickets for that play, because productions by the Lane County Auditorium Association are usually sold out in advance. Tickets range from $2 to $4 and are available at the box office. “Little Murders,” starring Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland, is showing this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 6 and 9 p.m. in 180 PLC. The movie is the story of the Newquist family and their willingness and abilities to accept an urban world SKRAP roams parks #o tell children stories What merrily roves through the parks telling stories to children? The Out-of-No-Where SKRAP theatre, of course. SKRAP theatre is part of the Eugene Parks and Recreation Department. The department will present original productions combining music, mime, and theatre in the local parks and playgrounds this summer, beginning next Monday, July 17. The name SKRAP comes from parks spelled backwards, ac cording to the director of SKRAP, Jeff Spolan. SKRAP is ap propriate, he says, because they have no budget and are forced to use whatever bits and scraps of material they can find to produce their performances. This summer, in a continuation of the theatre begun last sum mer, SKRAP will present four pantomimes and two short plays. One of the plays, Spolan says, comes from a Berkeley street story or cultural myth called “In I the good old daze, (or the saga of fche warm fuzzies).” In the Deginning or in the good old days, Spolan says, people had “warm fuzzies” to give to each other to make them feel happy. But someone got greedy and started hoarding the warm fuzzies to himself. Pretty soon everyone else started hoarding them too because they were all afraid there wouldn’t be enough if they kept giving them away. With no ▲ A A A A warm fuzzies, no one was happy anymore. The moral, Spolan says, is that “nobody realizes that there might be an unlimited supply of warm fuzzies.” In addition to the plays and pantomimes, The Traveling Troubador, played by Spolan and his faithful companion, Enkidu, are touring the parks involving children in impromptu drama, games and pantomimes until August 18. Performance schedule for plays is as follows: July 17—University Park July 18—Monroe Park July 19—Fairmount Park July 24—Fairfield School July 25—Washington Park July 26—McCornack School July 31—South Amazon Park Aug. 1- Edgewood School Open 7:00 Show 7:30-9:30 EXCLUSIVE "Last PTTTT )f the Red Hot Lovers’ll 33XE i Coming July 2GU) “Hie Garden of the Finzi-Continis” Acadaemy award winner FILM SOCIETY PRESENTS Francois Truffaut’s Latest: BED & BOARD From the man who brought ycu The 400 Blows, Shoot The Piano Player, Jules and Jim and The Wild Child.
