PICK OF THE WEEK
‘The Full Monty’ opens Friday
at Columbia Center for the Arts
By KIRBY NEUMANN-REA
News editor
Look for some fresh faces
along with familiar ones in
a “revealing” production of
the musical “The Full
Monty,” opening Feb. 13 at
Columbia Center for the
Arts. (See On Stage, at left,
for details.)
It’s the story of a broke
and out of work steelwork-
er who finds inspiration
after bumping into a male
stripper. He and his equally
desperate friends decide to
give it their all — or rather
show it all — to get rich
quick, and create the racy
revue.
In the lead is Ari Blood-
good, as Larry, whose son is
played by Ren Tappert, 12,
also in his first CAST pro-
duction. And the first guy
to take off his clothes is
newcomer Nathan Ohls-
son, who also appears as
the husband of Larry’s ex-
wife. (Prepare to see a num-
ber of the cast members in
Bingo at the Elks Lodge,
fundraiser for Elks scholarship
programs, 7 p.m. Open to the
community. Minimum $250 pro-
gressive blackout each week.

a variety of roles, including
CAST veteran Tom Butler
as mill foreman and then,
memorably, as the first guy
to show up at the strip audi-
tion.)
In a small, but critical,
role Jana Castanares shows
her song and comic chops
as the jaded accompanist
who gives the nervous and
uncoordinated guys a vir-
tual kick in the pants.
William Thayer-Daugh-
erty, Reuben Betts, Edward
McNair, Jonas Grosserhode
and David Dye fill out the
revue, and lending support
are fellow CAST veterans
April Sampson, Barb Berry,
Clara Cook, Kathleen Mor-
row, Maza Brady, Dana Tic-
knor, and Dennis Cas-
tanares.
(The 1997 film took
place in Sheffield, Eng-
land; in the American ren-
dition, Buffalo, N.Y.)
Relationships are both
strained and strengthened
as the guys prepare to go
Columbia Knights of Columbus.
Dinners, starting at $8.50, are
available from 5-7 p.m.
■ Feb. 14 — “Love songs
through the ages,” 7-10 p.m.
at the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

Standards Link: Health:
Recognize foods that
promote good health.
Do you feel with your heart?
Are you making pictures of hearts and giving little
heart-shaped candies to friends for Valentine’s Day?
When you make a promise you really, really mean,
do you “cross your heart”? Or, do you
listen to songs about broken hearts?
We see and hear about hearts everywhere.
Long ago, people thought our feelings came
from our hearts. Maybe because strong
feelings can make our hearts beat faster. Now we know
feelings come from the brain, not the heart.
