Jukucho Kent Kim will be conduct ing the one-day class. Kim holds three gold medals in national championships as well as a gold medal from 1991 for the Ful 1 Contact Karate World Cham pionships in Kyoto, Japan. Kim may be recognized for his techniques that were used in the fight scene in 'Teen age Mutant Ninja Turtles m" as well as the choreography he just finished in 'The Hunted", starring Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro. “If this class goes well, we hope to offer a class of fighting that’s similar to what’s choreographed in movies with such stars like Jackie Chan,” said Wayne Marshall, marketing and busi ness administrator for Studio One. The class will be offered for women from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. and the men’s class will be offered for 4-6 p.m. The cost is $45 and a free pair of boxing gloves will be given to all participants. However, enrollment is limited so pre registration is required. According to Marshall this class is a trial to see how well it goes. If all goes well they may offer it on a contin ued basis. “This is something we definitely want to pursue,” said Marshall.

Kickboxing helps give strength to parts of the body such as the arms, legs, shoul ders, back and buttocks. It also helps to build confidence. The second half of the workshop is on street defense and how to protect yourself in case of an emergency. “This is kind of new for us,” said Marshall.

Footloose, fancy-free: ’Footlight Frenzy’ gives escape ERINNLERTEN Staff'Writer “Footlight Frenzy,” directed by Alan Shearman and now playing at the Lakewood Cen ter for the Performing Arts, of fers a lighthearted romp through the misadventures of a school faculty’s attempt to save its school. In a last ditch effort to save the Rye School for Unusual Children from sudden closure, PTA head Laura Becker (Melinda Strobel) hires Tony Langdon (Danny Bruno), a has- been Broadway director and playwright with aspirations to take his play “Tarnished Silver” from the Rye School to Broad way. The plot centers around both the play and the back- stage tension. Opening night looms as potential disaster. Several cast members quit and and the egomaniacal, bi-polar director turns to janitor and stage manager Benny Dibble (Steve Beckingham) to fill the pivotal role of gangster Johnny Chicago. The impromptu actor fills Chicago’s shoes splen didly until he catches sight of the audience. “Tarnished Silver” follows the romance of a 1930s lounge singer with the hots for an up town millionaire playboy. Laura’s school principal hus band, who plays the rich jazz musician Nicky, is .more inter- "The plot centers around both the play and the back- stage tension." Erinn Lerten Staff Writer ested in grading papers and fighting off the advances of young drama teacher Debbie Turner (Kelly Hatfield) than learning lines. In the middle of the play he kills a principal character and drops 60 pages "Communicating Doors" of script, throwing the doomed plot into further disarray. The school’s accountant Alex Malone (Russ Cowan), who spends his time on the phone and schmoozing with the audience, eventually saves the play. "Footlight Frenzy" offers audiences a quirky, pun-laden escape from grim reality. For a while you are caught up in the ridiculous situations that the character's find themselves in: Laura's frantic pill popping and hysterical episodes, Benny's unrequited love for Debbie and Tony's feeble at tempt at suicide. The situa tions are presented in such a preposterous format that the audience cannot help but roar with laughter at the charac ters' hijinks. “Footlight Frenzy” is playing at 8 p.m. Thurs.- Sat. and Sun. at 7 p.m. through Dec. 9. Tick ets are $18-20. Call the Lake wood Center for the Perform ing Arts Box Office for more in formation: (503)-635-3901 or visit their website at www.lakewood-center.qrg.
