WOW Hall to theater
By CHERYL RUDERT
The WOW Hall is going to be
transformed this weekend, and
you may be able to catch a hint of
a fresh salt breeze. Exotic under
water sea creatures, an ocean
side cafe, a swinging dance hall
and an elevated dockside are all
going to be part of the visual allure
of Morts Port Cafe by the Sea.
A production involving an amaz
ing amount of energy from various
members of the community,
Mort’s Port is an original musical
extravaganza. Conceived last
August, the play is the result of
collective inspiration. Collective
because it came from the
thoughts of eleven core members
of the Wallflower Order and the
Eugene Dance Collective, be
cause it has held the attention of
over 50 skilled participants and
because collectiveness is a key
concept in the play’s message.
A combination of dance and
theater, Mort's Port promises to
revive and expand traditional
forms of music. Jazz, rock blues,
swing and musical comedy are
combined to delight a broad audi
ence. But in particular those who
appreciate the thrill of musical
comedies oTanother era will enjoy
the two and a half hours of varied
song and dance numbers.
Mort's Port revolves around the
conflict between small restaurant
owner Morticia and the big imper
sonal businesses that want to buy
her out. Because the restaurant is
not making much money, Morticia
begins to succumb to their offers.
When the dedicated workers and
customers learn of this, however,
they band together to urge her to
let the cafe be run on a collective
basis.
Several conflicts come out as
the array of characters become
more vivid. The cast includes,
aside from Morticia and the cafe's
workers and customers, a group
of little rascals, the bag women,
various riff-raff on the dock and
colorful creatures from under the
sea.
The production is partially
funded by a grant from the Oregon
Arts Commission and the National
