Where to go for a good time
A guide to fall entertainment
By BARBARA COLEMAN
Of the Emerald
Eventually everybody hears
about people like the Grateful
Dead being in the Eugene area
for a concert. Whether before or
after the event, how you first
heard about it was probably by
word of mouth. And if it was at
the last minute, you probably
rushed off to find a ride or stuck
out your thumb and tried to get
there as best you could.
Sometimes a little advance
warning about a concert with
some people you’d like to see can
help out a lot. Sometimes a little
information about how to get
somewhere, something to do and
where to do it are helpful too.
That’s what this article is about
telling you a few things that are
already planned for the fall and a
few established places you can go
for a good time.
To begin with E.J.D.
productions has scheduled Buddy
Miles and Ginger Baker in
Portland on Sept. 22. They’ve also
scheduled It’s a Beautiful Day for
the Salem Armory Auditorium on
Sept. 30. Tentatively, E.J.D. has
The James Gang and Savoy
Brown scheduled for sometime in
October. Outlets for tickets in
Eugene are The Crystalship and
Meier and Frank.
The University’s Cultural
Forum (see student government
section) has planned a number of
concerts, dances and shows for
the fall which include: Seales and
Croft in concert in the Ballroom
on Oct. 12 and Dr. Corn’s
Bluegrass Remedy in concert on
Oct. 27. In addition, the Cultural
Forum has planned a Korean
Dance Troupe Act on Oct. 5, a
film workshop on Dec. 5 and 6 and
Kreskin from the television show
“The Amazing World of Kreskin”
on Oct. 18.
Concert promoters other than
the Cultural Forum seem to have
a little trouble finding a place to
schedule any acts into Eugene.
Rose Noel, of International
Associates Inc., points to the fire
hazard of smoking in McArthur
Court preventing concerts there.
Since Mac Court is the only

facility large enough to make any
big venture possible and since the
University is fearful of smoking
and crowd control, Noel said,
International Associates, Inc.
cannot bring Isaac Hayes to
Eugene as they would like to this
fall.
“We offered all we could in the
way of security,” Noel said,
“more so than any regular
University event.” But they were
turned down anyway. “We don’t
condone smoking, nor set up an
atmosphere for pot smoking,”
she said. “We were interested in
providing top entertainment for
this area.” But, she said, “until
we can work something out with
the University concerning the
smoking and crowd control, we
will not be bringing any large
entertainment to Eugene.”
Hayes will be in Portland on
Dec. 1, though, so you still have a
chance to see him. Some others
you might have had a chance to
see in Eugene through In
ternational Associates Inc., but
won’t because of the lack of a
concert hall, are Johnny Mathis,
the Osmond Brothers, the Staple
Singers, Van Morrison, Aretha
Franklin, Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal
and Alice Cooper. ^
On another corner of the
campus, University Theatre
has planned several plays for this
fall. Two productions are being
held over from the summer’s
Carnival Theatre. They are
“Butterflies are Free,” a
romantic comedy concerning a
young blind man’s first attempt
at living on his own, and
“Jacques Brel is Alive and Well
and Living in Paris,” a musical
review of Brel’s work. Both plays
will be presented Sept. 22 and 23.
“Butterflies are Free” will be in
the Arena Theatre, and “Jacques
Brel" will be on the Main Stage.
Tickets are available at the box
office, 686-4191.
1 he following weekend. Sept. 30
and Oct. l, two students, Martin
Treat and Demi McDevitt, will
present “Echoes.”
“Echoes” is written by
Richard Nash, author of “The
Rainmaker.” It is the story of
Tilda and Sam who are in a
mental institution for
schizophrenia. The play concerns
these two, trying to sustain their
pretend world in the face ofM
constant interference by the reafli
world. Demi McDevitt, who plays
Tilda, says the play is very much
like “David and Lisa.” She
believes that the theme of
“Echoes” is best described in
this quote by Robelais: “We are
caught between reaction and
progress.”
According to Jean Cutler,
director of the theatre area,
graduate MFA candidates will
choose various plays to be per
formed this fall until Nov. 10
when the main attraction of the
fall season will be presented at
University Theatre as “Cyrano
de Bergerac."
The famous play by Edmond
Rostand will run Nov. 10, 11, 16,
17 and 18. on the Main Stage.
“Cyrano de Bergerac” will be
directed by Cutler. Tryouts for
the play begin Sept. 21 and 22 at
7:30 p.m The auditions are open
to anyone who is interested.
Eugene's Very Little Theatre,
located at 2350 Hilyard Street, is
producing “Come Blow Your
Horn,” a situation comedy by
Neil Simon. Dates for the play
are Sept. 20-23. and Sept. 26-30 at
8 p.m.
