Papier-mache skulls painted in blue
and yellow jut out from a wall of
flames. In a glass case nearby, photos,
and sentimental objects sit together in
a shrine to Chilean cultural icons,
some who were killed for their politi
cal beliefs. These are just some of the
pieces on display for "The Other Sep
tember 11th," an exhibit in the Adell
McMillan Art Gallery.
The exhibit was inspired by the
30th anniversary of the Chilean
government's overthrow and the as
sassination of the president of
Chile, Salvador Allende, on Sept. 11,
1973. The exhibit is a segment of
the symposium on Democracy and
Human Rights in Latin America and
not oflly honors Allende, but exam
ine^ the other Latin American hu
^rian rights issues discussed during
' the symposium.

Among Shadows," is ''a remem

gown showing will end the journey
through the decades, followed by a tea
for the audience where performers will
change into evening wear and mingle
with spectators.
The theater made its debut in 1929
when eight people decided to begin an
alternative to the University Theatre,
which was the only community theater
at the time. It got its name when one of
the eight unnamed founders said,
"There are hundreds of little theater
groups up and down the country, but
this is certainly going to be a very little
one!" The theater has since grown in
size and membership, but remains a
comfortable, friendly gathering place
for theater enthusiasts.
"It's definitely not as little as it was
when it started," Very Uttle Theatre
spokesman Scott Barkhurst said. "It's
easily the nicest community theater in
the state."
The Very Little Theatre manages to
have successful seasons while operating
on a self-supportive budget. The the
ater's staff is primarily volunteers, and
they rely on revenue from ticket sales to
fund their productions.
"The theater is very hands-on," Schee
land said. "Our members usher shows
and serve refreshments. The audience
often gets to know some of the actors."
Scheeland said the theater chooses
shows that are not offensive since it
wants to keep attracting people from all
walks of life.
"Some people aren't comfortable
in experimental theaters," she said.
"Everybody is welcome here. No one
is judged."
The public is encouraged to audition
for the theater's shows. Very Little The
atre Vice President Bill DeWein said
prospective cast members should check
out a script of the show and review it
because they will be asked to audition
with material from the show. The next
audition will be for "Cabaret" and will
take place Jan. 10 and Jan. 11.
"We are reaching out to bring in new
people to perform, including high
school students," DeWein said.
Tickets for "Dressed For the Part" are
on sale for $ 10 at the Very little The
atre's box office located at 1573 llilyard
St. All shows start at 8 p.m.
