both plays are graduate students.
“The whole summer theater is a
student effort and was generated by
the graduate students a few years
ago,” faculty advisor Joseph Gilg said.
“Wolf,” a work of playwright Tom
McCabe, is a new spinoff of the clas
sic fairytales “Little Red Riding
Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs.”
McCabe, who wrote the production
of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”
that the University put on this past
summer, delivers surprises and slap
stick with his latest work.
Even the title, which is a takeoff
of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Wolf?” suggests that
“Wolf” has humor galore for both
kids and adults.
“The target audience is children
2 to 10, but people of all ages will
enjoy the show,” director Rich
Brown said. “There’s a lot of adult
humor in both shows.”
The plot follows Red as she skips
through the woods to Grandma’s
house, the Little Pigs as they build
their three houses (the first two get
blown down by the wolf) and a
French-Canadian woodsman on
the hunt for a lupine tail.
Children will probably recognize
the familiar characters, and adults
may get a laugh out of the clever
modernization of old favorites.
“The wolf is really modern.
We’re playing him like he’s this Bil
ly Idol character,” actor Kellen Ter
rett said. Terrett, who plays Cor
nelius Big Bad Wolf, wears a ripped
denim vest to go with his wolf ears
and nose. He also puts on a languid
British accent reminiscent of Idol’s
“White Wedding.”
Red wears a trendy, hooded
fleece vest that the Wolf later com
mandeers as a disguise in his quest
to eat Grandma.
“It’s kind of a challenge to play a
little kid because extreme inno
cence is a little foreign now,” actor
Erica Smith said. Smith plays Red
in “Wolf” and the title role in
“Pinocchio Commedia.”
“Pinocchio,” written by Johnny
Simmons, is also a modern re
telling of a classic story.
“Basically, it’s the traditional
‘Pinocchio’ story with commedia
dell’arte,” director Elizabeth Helman
said. “Commedia is a traditional
form of Italian improv theater. It is
the mother of all physical comedy.”
Helman enjoys working in chil
dren’s theater. “Kids are the best au

an agreement, but a policy state
ment created by the University 20
years ago. The policy states that it
should only stand for a period of 10
years. University officials feel the
study is now obsolete.
“We’ve got a study that was done
a long time ago about an area that
has grown and changed,” Oliver
said. “Our facility demands have
increased.
“(The policy) needs to be
changed to reflect the new realities
on campus concerning growth, and
that’s what we’re in the process of
doing,” she said.
The proposed Child Care Center
would serve 120 children and em
ploy 13 staff members and 15 stu
dent aides, said Kent Kullby, one of
the associate planners for the city.
Osanka said he is not opposed to
a child care center, but rather to
new development in the neighbor
hood. He said he believes there is
no need to build because the exist
ing homes on the site can also ac
commodate 120 children.
However, the University plans to
begin the project as soon as the per
mits are approved by the city. In or
der for the University to obtain a
conditional use permit for the site,
the building plans must meet cer
tain criteria, Kullby said.
It’s common to apply for permits,
but hard to receive them, Osanka
said. If the neighborhood associa
tion can show that the University
should not receive the permit, the
application will fail, he said.
One of the criteria for the permit
states that the Child Care Center
must have reasonable compatibility
with the surrounding area and mini
mal impact on the neighborhood’s
livability and development, Kullby
said. This specification includes the
size of the building as well as the
amount of traffic it generates.
Other criteria require that the de
velopment maintain consistency
with adopted neighborhood plan
policy, Kullby said.
Some neighbors have said that
the Child Care Center does not
meet these criteria.
The University is not adhering to
the specifications listed in the policy
created by the University in 1982,
nor does it meet the specifications re
quired to obtain a conditional use
permit, Osanka said. “The building
is institutional in an area that was
specified as medium density,” Osan
ka said. “An institutional building,
by its nature, tends to have a concen
tration of people and traffic,” he said.
Others say the University is adher
ing to both the agreement and permit
specifications as well as it can.
“From what I have seen, the Uni
versity has done a good job re
sponding to the site conditions,”
Architecture Department Head
Michael Fifield said. “Obviously
it’s trying to fit in and be sensitive.
We’re looking at this according to
the input we got from various
sources, including neighbors.”
The University is simply using
land it owns to maintain a sense of
spaciousness, according to Oliver.
“If you actually went through
the old plan, it talks about the den
sity of each little area,” she said.
“When you get to a certain density,
it’s done. Part of the beauty of the
University is the open spaces.”
If the University’s application for
both permits is accepted, neighbor
hood association members say they
will appeal to the Eugene Planning
Commission.
“We’re prepared to press it,” Os
anka said.
