THEATRE
'3 Guys Naked'
called explosive>
high-energy play
Performing stand-up comedy has been
compared to being ‘ naked from the
waist down"'in show business. Univer
sity students Richard Gray and Enrique
Arias will find out how true this is as
they perform in Mainstage (Cabaret's "3
Guys Naked from the Waist Down.”
The play centers around the on and
off-stage lives of three New York City
underground-club comics. Gray said.
The throe men form a team and move
to lx>s Angeles to "make it big." but as a
result they are caught up in the glamour
of the city and have to sacrifice a lot of
their material, he said.
“It's basically about success, and
about how each character deals with it
differently." Gray said.
The play, which is presented by
Mainstage (Cabaret and Jim Roberts, is
being performed at Seymour's
Restaurant. 996 Willamette St.
"I've fallen in love with that space."
Gray said of Seymour's. "It's so small;
you can see everyone's face.”
Gray and Arias agree that performing
in a play that is the product of communi
ty theatre is much different than that of

University theatre.
Many directors at the University are
teachers and graduate students, and
“they're learning too." Gray said.
In the community, directors are con
cerned about getting their product out.
rather than concentrating on the direc
tional and theoretical side of a play. Gray
said.
"There's a different education in do
ing community work. It’s more of what
you're going to be getting in the real
world.” he said.
"(Mainstage) Cabaret is really
fast... we really have to put the show
together.” Arias said.
Another difference between the two
types of theatre is the length of the run.
he said. At the University, the plays are
set to run at a specific time With the
Cabaret, the length of the run depends
on the popularity of the show, he said
The play currently is set to run four
weekends, with the possibility of an ex
tension if the play draws large crowds.
Arias said
There are important differences bet
ween performing comedic and dramatic
theatre* Cray .said, and stand-up comedy
is a theatrical art by itself.
"At every look, every wince, the au
dience is prepared to laugh. If they
don’t, if you don't make them, you
bomb." he said.
In contrast, when performing in a
play, actors are not as concerned with
audience participation and feedback.
Arias said.
"Feedback from the audience is not
something you worry about in that situa
tion.” he said. “In stand-up comedy, it
is crucial.”
The success of an actor in a theatrical
production is often based on bow well
the actor performs. Gray said. In stand
up comedy, success is determined by
how well the audience enjoyed the
comic's performance, he said.
Because Gray used to compete on the
University forensics team using comedic
material, he has had some experience
with stand-up comedy, he said. Arias
became interested in stand-up comedy
on a recent trip to Los Angeles, he said.
‘‘My curiosity was struck in L.A.."
Arias said. ‘‘I admired the stand-up com
ics that I saw. and t wanted to try it.*’
During the first part of “3 Guys Naked
from the Waist Down." the three actors
perform stand-up comedy routines.
Although the routines are written into
the script, they have been modified so
that the actors feel comfortable w>ith
them. Gray said
“It s really hard to rehearse the first 30
minutes of the play. . it’s just raw com
edy.” Gray said. "Unless you have an
audience for feedback, it’s hard to prac
tice it effectively”
The play swings back and forth bet
ween times when the actors are onstage
doing comedy routines and when they
are liackstage talking to each another.
"This brings a personal side of the ac
tors out to the audience.” Arias said.
“This is a real high-energy
show you have to be real up.” he
said. "It’s explosive."
The play will run Fridays and Satur
days, starting this week and continuing
Nov. 14-15. 21-22 and 28-29 at 9 p.m
The play also will be performed Sun
days, starting this Sunday and continu
ing Nov. 9. 16. 23 and 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $6 in advance and $7 at the
door. For students with current student
I D. who purchase tickets one hour
before curtain, the cost is $4.

Animal Farm' teaches the importance of knowing history, director says
(!«org(! Orwell may have had a pessimistic
message in his book "Animal Farm.” but director
Cray Kuhank is emphasizing fun in his production
of the play, premiering tonight at 8 in the Robinson
Theater.
"I wanted to do the show in the style of a car
toon." Eulrank said. “Even though 'Animal Farm'
is about very serious subjects, it's told very, very
simply, the way a child would view the world."
Eighteen students play 53 characters in the pro
duction "There's lots of hens and pigs and sheeps
and goats and chickens and cows, and they all
talk." he said.
Almost everyone is ina mask, and the costumes
by Nancy Juliun complement the cartoon theme.
In an unusual twist, this version of the play is a
musical. Kuliank describes the music as a cross bet
ween early English Edwardian music hall, the Mup
pels and an English hymnal.
There's a lot of movement and dance in the pro
duction. Considering that all the animal characters
are on all fours throughout the play, choreography
was a real challenge for Synnove Abrahamsen.
Dancing on their hands and knees can lie rough
on the actors. "I've got a lot of people walking
around the department with very bruised knees
right now.” Eubank said.
"We've all gone through at least two pairs of
volleyball kneepads so far.” actor Cole-Arthur Hor
naday said. "I've got enough scar tissue on my
knees to last awhile.”
Eubank described the set as "Warner Brothers”
cartoon style.
Designer David Apple said he enjoyed the lighter
tone of ‘ Animal Farm.” "You don't get to do
things with strange angles very much, especially in
this theater because we end up doing so many
serious shows,” he said.
Lee Krahenbuhl. who plays the pig Napoleon,
thinks the unorthodox cartoon interpretation is ef
fective. "The message of the show is so heavy that
people need a break from that complete
oppressiveness.”
Hornaday. who plays Squealer, predicts the
message will draw students. “I think this is one of
the more political campuses around. I heard that
more people want to come see it specifically
because it’s ‘Animal Farm' because they’ve had to
mad it (and) because no one else has been able to
say things like Orwell has, . .Casting the story of
communism in a farm with animals as a metaphor is
really extreme ami very colorful."
Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" as a metaphor for
the communist takeover of Russia, but the message
applies to any sort of totalitarianism, he said.
Kuhank thinks "Animal Farm" is relevant to
contemporary America. "There are an awful lot of
people who think that life is beautiful all the time in
America under Mr. Reagan. I think that the rest of
the world looking at us from the outside might have
a different view.
“So I've done that with the animals in this
play. As far as they're concerned, they got what
they were after, and it’s only the audience that's
able to see it from outside and say, 'You just got
something worse than what you started with,’ ” he
said.
Eubank sees Orwell's message as particularly

applicable to students. “That's why education is
important,” he said. "What happens to the pigs, to
the animals on the farm is they don't learn history,
they don't bother to learn reading and writing. One
animal learns only to spell her name so she doesn't
know what's going on. She doesn't know when
she's being lied to; she doesn't remember history
There will be seven performances. Tickets are
$;t.50 for students and children and $5.50 for the
general public at the Robinson Theater box office.
