the Bijou Theatre, which was completed in late
August.
By Carolyn Lamberson
When Michael Lamonte
opened the Bijou Theatre on
Oct. 15. 1 OHO. he found it ad
vantageous to be located near
the University because of its
built-in audience for the films
he wanted to show.
And now. after a couple of
struggling years. tne increas
ing popularity of small film
theatres like the Bijou has en
couraged l .a monte to expand.
The addition of a second
screen at the Bijou's 13th
Avenue location will allow
him to show two additional
shows and give the audience a
choice of films, he said
The second screen, which
seats 04 as compared to 120 in
the older auditorium, opened
Aug 21 and reception has
been “fabulous,” he said
Although late summer bet
ween the University's sum
mer and fall terms is not ex
actly the best time to expect
huge crowds, he added.
"It gives me the opportuni
ty to work out any bugs that
still may exist" before a ma
jority of the University's
population returns this
mouth. I^imonte said.

give three men as much chance
to develop internal
characterizations
"The three roles are very
balanced and require an in
credible range of emotions.” he
said. "I think it's a play that
will have a very wide appeal
tiecause it has a lot to do with
how men bond in our society,
like father-son and brother
brother relationships.”
There are seven performances
of "Orphans." October 15. 16,
17. 22. 23 and 24 The final
show date includes both a
matinee and an evening
performance.
The second production,
which opens December 3, is
"Noises Off." written by
Michael Frayn and directed by
Dr. Jack Watson This farce is a
play within a play, which
McKernie said is "probably the
funniest play I've seen in ten
years " The audience views the
backstage of a play and its ac
tors' hilarious interludes and
assorted antics. Watson, who
directed "Gypsy" last spring, is
on a one-year faculty appoint
ment by the theater department.
The UT presents "Dance HH"
and the famous Sophocles play,
"Antigone,” during winter
term In "Dance 88," the
University's Department of
Dance entertains with a variety
of styles ranging from tap to
modern to ballet.
"Antigone." which Mcker
nie directs as well, is about the
daughter of the shamed Thehian
king Oedipus Rex, who loses
her two brothers in a war
against each other and must
decide which one will receive
proper burial. This emotional
powerhouse features costumes
and design concepts inspired by
Mckernie’s recent research at
the British Museum in London.
Spring term at the UT begins
with "The Miss Firecracker
Contest." written by Beth
Henley, author of "Crimes Of
The Heart " Henley's play takes
place in a small Mississippi
town and pokes fun at a small
scale beauty pageant. This zany
show, directed by Annie
McGregor, focuses on one con
testant's drive to become Miss
Firecracker and the problems
that arise when her cousin, a

and incredible mixture of
shows." lie said this season
