6 News The Clackamas Print Wednesday, January 31,1996 Students to perform Edward Albee plays Karin Redston Staff Writer CCC’s production of “The Lady From Dubuque,” written by Edward Albee, will open on Feb. 29 in CCC’s Mcloughlin The ater. The play is set in the 70s and centers on three couples who are out for dinner. One of the women is dying and has turned very bitter towards everyone and everything. Although the play has several light and humorous moments, the underlying theme of the play is painful and sad. According to Instructor David Smith-English, who is directing the play, this play is Albee’s favorite. “I guess what Albee’s really doing here is exploring the dif ference between reality and pretense,’’said Smith-English. In addition to the “Lady From Dubuque,” two other Albee one-act plays will be per formed titled “Zoo Story” and “The Sandbox.” “Zoo Story” stars student Daniel Cook who plays the part of Jerry, a non-stop talker, and Aaron Pfenning who plays the part of Peter, a patient English man who listens. “Zoo Story” is directed by student Mike Gerber. “Jerry’s like one of those people,” said Cook said. “ If you’ve ever ridden the bus be- fore, like one of those people who come up and talk to you and just won’t leave you alone.” “The Sandbox” will also star Cook in the part of the father. This play circles around the grandmother and the “Angel of Death.” The grandmother, played by CCC student Karen Champ, has been brought to the beach to die and recounts her life. The mother is played by Rae Coo per and the boy is played by Ed Asquith. The play is directed by Jim Miller. Edward Albee arrives on Feb. 9 and will be critiquing stu dent written plays, scenes from “The Lady From Dubuque” and one act plays, “The Sandbox” and “Zoo Story.” “I find a little anxiety about the notion that we will be putting something up for him to take a look at and to critique,” said Smith-English. “You want to be perfect but no matter how hard you try it’s not perfect enough, especially for this guy...a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner,” said Gerber. Although student talent ranges vary, commitment has been excellent, according to Smith-English. “I feel really good about this cast because of this commitment to learning and to growth,” said Smith-English.

Even then, lying in the hospital bed with a weak heartbeat and almost no blood pressure, it often takes days for the students to admit they have been eating practically nothing and exercising compulsively,” said Kathy Hotelling, Ph.D., President of the Association of University and College Counsel ing Center Directors. An eating disorder is an ill ness that results from severe body image distortion and an obsession with weight. Those with a disor der are terrified of gaining weight and consequently diet, binge and purge while their mental and physical health deteriorate. The effects can lead to depression, subtance abuse, heart problems, osteoporosis and reproductive problems, as well as possible death. Four to five percent of all fe male college students suffer from anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorders, according to David Add ©Need proofreading help? A paper edited? Rates negot.
