IN BRIEF
A pocketful of plays
University actors and actresses are
preparing for a five-play season of en
tirely student-produced performances at
the Pocket Playhouse winter term. Pock
et Playhouse Co-chairman Greg Heaton
said the upcoming season is "the most
diverse and the most supported” the
department has had in years.
"Each show is going to have an enor
mous amount of effort put into it, and
you’ll see that on stage,” he said.
The lineup of plays for this year in
cludes "Down the Road" during week
four, written by Lee Blessing and direct
ed by Derek Johnson; “Modem Dance
for Beginners” in week five, written by
Sarah Hughes and directed by Margie
Kent; “Seven Pieces of Hope” in week
six, directed by Eric Dodson; "Ghost
Sonata" in week eight, written by August
Strindberg and directed by Mike Miran
da; and “India Burn” in week nine, de
vised by Jana Schmeiding.
In "Seven Pieces of Hope,” Dodson
will present seven monologues from dif
ferent literary works.
"(Dodson) is a big reader and he
took pieces from novels he liked, so it
was a semi-scripted process for him,"
Heaton said.
Heaton said “India Bum" will be a
one-woman show for Schmeiding, who
is starring in, directing and arranging
music for her show. He described
"Ghost Sonata” as a "semi-surreal take
on reality."
The season will end with the “One
Page Play Festival," an event conceived
by Heaton that involves casual presenta
tions of scripts that are one page in
length or shorter.
"It’s purpose is to inspire wackiness
and instantaneous creativity," Heaton
said.
All shows will take place in the Pocket
Playhouse in Villard Hall Room 102 at 5
p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
the performance week, with the excep
tion of "Ghost Sonata,” which will not be
performed Friday. Tickets are free with a
suggested $1 donation.

WOW: Subcommittee will justify
recommendations at public hearing
Continued from page 8
“Are we going to hand the WOW Hall
a blank check? No. But will we work to
gether with the WOW Hall and commu
nity throughout the whole thing to
make sure everyone’s best interests
are served? Of course," Jennings said.
The CCPA is most concerned by
the proposal from Private Public Part
nerships, Inc., which includes plans to
utilize a portion of tax lot 13500 and
deed the remaining 45-by-68-foot por
tion to the WOW Hall. Abe Nielson,
Program Director for the WOW Hall,
said that the 66.8-by-90-foot space is
already barely large enough to fit the
sometimes 45-foot tour buses that ar
rive almost every week, and that
cutting into it would probably make it
impossible. He added that bigger acts
are playing at the WOW Hall more of
ten than they used to, which means
the ability to accommodate large tour
buses is more important to them than
ever.
The Urban Services Manager for the
City of Eugene, Richie Weinman, said that
Private Public Partnerships’ plan to devel
op on tax lot 13500 will not disqualify
them since the amount of the lot reserved
for the WOW Hall was not specified. But
he added that the subcommittee will
probably require them to justify develop
ing that area at the hearing.

Elvis: Amateur impersonations stray
from typical Las-Vegas-style lineups
Continued from page 5
Contest participants, who signed up
to appear in advance, will compete for
a $100 cash prize. Barley, who has or
ganized the show since the beginning,
said he gets a wide range of perform
ers, including women and children. A
past winner, "Transelvestite,"
stretched the limits of Elvis portrayals
by performing in drag.
Barley said the show’s aura is par
tially serious and partially silly - ex
pect for a mix of hard-core Elvis freaks
and goofballs who like to poke fun at
the King.
“It’s kind of the joke. Some people
come and hand out peanut butter and
banana sandwiches," Barley said.
“We’ve had people come as Elvis the
Clown and Leprechaun Elvis. But
some people are really serious about
impersonating.’’
He added that "Night of the Living
Elvis" doesn’t reflect a typical Las Ve
gas-style impersonation lineup.
“It’s not a total Las Vegas imperson
ator show with the white jumpsuits,"
he said. "It’s definitely respectful
toward Elvis, but there are a lot of dif
ferent takes on him, and many are
funny and oddball."
Christie, an impersonator at “Night
of the Living Elvis" since its first show,
said he enjoys bringing Elvis to life on
stage. He used to don a traditional
white jumpsuit, but now he wears a
black one.
“I'm reminiscent of his style and
voice," Christie said. “He has one of the
most recognizable voices in the world. I
re-create some of the dance moves and
try to put a little pizzazz into it."
Although Christie often slips into the
role of Elvis, he admits he has not
been a lifelong fan.
“I wasn’t really into Elvis until I got
into this," he said. “Then I started
reading about him and listening to
clips, and I realized he was really a ter
rific singer, besides being an icon. I
became a fan later on."
WOW Hall is at 291W. 8th Ave. Doors
open for "Night of the Living Elvis” at 9
p.m., and the show begins at 9:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $7 at the door.
