Play revolves around intimacy
Theater review
Aaron Shakra
Pulse Reporter
I had the worst stomachache of
my life before, during and after the
opening night performance of Uni
versity Theatre’s “The Trestle at
Pope Lick Greek.” And I became de
termined not to let my bodily condi
tion affect a potential review.
In a way, it was a serendipitous oc
currence, because a stomachache
works as a perfect metaphor for Nao
mi Wallace’s play. The content
lingers, refusing to fade — and this is
meant in the best way.
The play takes place during De
pression-era 1936 in a small,
unidentified town. It centers around
Pace Creagan (Tara Rae Warner) and
Dalton Chance (Connor Dudley) —
a girl and a guy — and their plans to
outrun an oncoming train on a tres
tle, 100 feet above a dry creek bed.
The plot serves only as a skeleton
for the play because it’s largely dia
logue and character-driven. Most of
the action takes place at the creek
bed and involves conversations be
tween Pace and Dalton —both in
their teens. Their talks bring to light
themes of alienated youth, family
and a possible, but ultimately hope
less, vision for the future.
This says nothing about the sup
porting performances, which were
stellar in their ability to deliver on
these themes of desolation. The cast
consists of five actors, and what’s
great about a play with so few people
is that each one has a chance to
shine and hold the play together.
When Dalton is eventually put in jail
(the circumstances are best left for a
viewer to discover), Steve Wehmeier
delivers an effectively creepy, but
heartfelt, performance as Ghas
Weaver, his jail-keeper.
Adam Leonard and Annie Harper
Branson play Gin and Dray Chance,
Dalton’s parents. Their roles echo
and reverberate because we see the
couple’s troubles repeat themselves
through Pace and Dalton.
A big theme among all the charac
ters is the thrill of touch and being
touched. Pace and Dalton eventual
ly have a girlfriend and boyfriend
kind of relationship, but Pace only
wishes to be touched indirectly. This
idea is carried through to the end
when Dalton kisses Pace’s dress and
apparently brings her to orgasm.
The intensely intimate performanc
es lend to the atmosphere of the Are
na Theatre. Set design was minimal;
lighting set the scene and changed to
indicate indoor and outdoor locations.
The play, which will show tonight,
Saturday and March 13 through 15,
runs about 120 minutes with one 15
minute intermission. Tickets are
available at the Robinson Theatre
box office, the Hult Center for the
Performing Arts and in the Ticket
Office in the EMU.

Memorial
continued from page 1
a postdoctoral student at Ohio State
University. He also taught at both
Harvard and Indiana before moving
to Eugene and joining the Universi
ty faculty in 1952.
Klemm helped to establish the
undergraduate research program in
organic chemistry. He served as the
assistant dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences from 1960 to 1962
and again from 1968 to 1969, and as
the associate dean of the grad
school from 1960 to 1962.
During 1 is career at the Univer
sity, Klemm remained as commit
ted to his own work as he did to
the work of his students. He pub
lished 175 scholarly papers while
he was active on the University
faculty and 35 more after his offi
cial retirement in 1990.
“He had a passion for his science
that is not often seen these days,”
Haley said. “Even after his retire
ment, he was a fixture at the annual
regional American Chemical Soci
ety meetings.”
Professor LeRoy Klemm is sur
vived by a daughter, Rebecca
Klemm of Washington D.G.; a son,
Richard Klemm of Naperville, 111.;
and two grandchildren. A daughter,
Ann Klemm, died in 2002.
Memorial contributions may be

Conservancy, to the Sierra Club, to
the Obsidians or to Oregon Health
and Science University.
