In review Carolyn Kizei featured in poetry festival Mellow music Count down By Joan Springer Of The Print By Marlene Clark Of The Print The Count of Monte Cristo opened last Friday night at the McLoughlin Theatre on CCC's campus. The curtain rose to a half-empty house and the cast and crew was not ready for an audience. The play had a lot of potential, but needed a few more dress rehearsals. The drama was filled with so much torment and revenge that it became melodramatic—almost comic at times. The fight scenes started out slow and underplayed, but by the end went to the point of overly loud screaming matches. The actors were cast very well for the performance. The music went along with the script, which made the play run smoothly. The first half of the play was set totally on the stage. During the second half, the actors came from the aisle way which changed the atmosphere and broke the effect of the story. Many of the scenes were quite pro fessional, but there was always an inconsistency which was felt in the air. Steve Cooper was the featured per former at Clackamas Community College's first coffeehouse. He played the guitar, banjo, concertina, piano, harmonica and the Jew's harp and seemed to be a natural at each. I wanted to just fall to sleep be cause of the easy going beat of his music, soothing voice and the serene atmosphere he created, but I couldn't because of anticipation of the next song. He played a variety of ballads, folk songs, parlor music and soft rock. He presented many of his songs by telling stories about family and friends or his youth, therefore giving the im pression that the audience was a group of friends sitting around in his living room. "I'll play some original songs be cause that's what I have fun doing and when I have fun, so will you," said Cooper as he began his performance. If finger snapping, foot shaking, humming, whistling and singing along mean any thing, Cooper succeeded.
