Schoolhouse continued from page 7 going on right now, but it also has a cool retro feel,” said Deborah Greer, the second-year theater arts doctoral degree student who is directing the performance. The actors aren’t just good, they’re magnetic. They are so skilled at drawing in the audi ence, be it children or adults, with personal interaction and a minimum of simple props. Those performance tools add the perfect touch to the jaunty musical rou tines. “They have been amazing. They’re truly the definition of a theater company,” Greer said, complementing the cast, which also put on “My Emperor’s New Clothes” earlier this summer. “Every .person who worked on this is so dedicated and that's the only way we could pull this off.” The singing, when concentrat ing on more than just the catchy words and choreographed moves, was also very good. Not an easy feat when singing and dancing song after song — rang ing from “Grease”-style to barber shop — with no break. And all loud enough to be heard by a lawn full of children and parents in an outdoor theater. Actor Jon Sharpy said that the amount of singing in this per formance increased compared to that of “Emperor.” “This works really well with the people we have,” he said. “We’re all musical people and it's just fun.” Mad Duckling’s musical direc tor, Curtis Williams, professional ly mixed and recorded a one man band soundtrack, comprised of saxophone, drums, keyboard and other instruments^to back up the show. The most amazing quality of the performance was the time lessness of the production. Adults sat just as open-mouthed and attentive as their children, total attention consumed, clap ping at the conclusion of each act with a child-like joy that only re visiting good memories can bring about. “The wonderful part of this production is that it appeals to so many ages,” Greer said. “ It’s not only fun for all ages, but highly educational, too.” The Mad Duckling Summer Theatre, which puts on two chil Azle Malinao-Alvarez Emerald Mad Duckling Summer Theatre actors Jon Sharpy, Lindy Anderson and Jocelyn Fultz are thrilling the crowds of kids and parents in the troupe’s production of ‘Schoolhouse Rock!,’ now playing at the amphitheater outside Robinson Theater. dren's theater productions each summer, is sponsored through the support of the University Summer Session office.

Tarika continued from page 7 ence. “What I call traditional music of Madagascar, that I play today, is what we played 500 years ago. But it has evolved across the cen turies we are passing through and that is very important for people to know. It’s not re-dug from centuries ago. It’s not that. It’s a living tradition.” Tarika’s current tour has taken them from Los Angeles, to Berke ley, to Santa Cruz, to Victoria, Canada, to Eugene and then to Seattle. After Seattle’s perform ance the band will return to Madagascar. On the home front, Prince is in the process of putting the finish ing touches on a solo CD tenta tively titled, “Ocean Bells,” which is expected to be released in mid-September. Prince, who has accompanied Mapfumo on three tours to date, blends Zimbabwean influences with Hawaiian slack-key tech niques, creating a distinct and melodic cultural blend. Prince, who attended a per formance of Hawaiian legend Ray Kane’s at Good Times ap proximately five years ago and then opened for Hapa at the WOW Hall about that same time, said these two influences “opened my eyes.” Prince describes slack-key, which is the traditional guitar style of Hawaii, as “rhythmic and melodic at the same time with a timeless quality.” “It is possible to be creative within that style and create your own style. I try to do that with harmonies. It creates a rhythmic framework. It ties in with the Zim babwe music, which is extremely rhythmic, too,” Prince said. “There is a connection there.” Tarika and Paul Prince at WOW Hall Local guitar soloist Paul Prince kicks off tonight’s show.
