Theatre to perform “Children”
Ozarks Theatre will open its fall schedule with two
performances of “Children,” Oct. 10-11 in the Walton
Fine Arts Center.
The play will be performed at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 10 and
11, in Seay Theatre. Students, faculty and staff are admitted free of
charge. Tickets are $5 for the non-campus community.
Written by A.R. Gurney, Jr., “Children”
is a story of an American family forced to deal with the impact of societal
changes on their comfortable status quo life. It takes place on the
terrace of the summer home of a wealthy WASP family on a resort island
off the New England coast. Blending humor and drama, “Children”
explores the institution of the American family in the challenging last
years of the 20th century.
The production is directed by Ozarks Theatre Professor
Dr. Pat Farmer. Professor Bruce Brown is the scenic and lighting designer,
Misti-Nicole Ponder is the costume designer, Angela Payne is the sound
designer, Farmer is the graphic designer and India Judd is the stage
manager.
The cast includes Barbara Manning as Mother, Jessica
Gay as Jane, Dane Sanders as Randy, Ponder as Barbara and Al Berry as
Pokey.
The crew consists of Brown as technical director,
Shelly Muston as light board operator, Payne as sound board operator,
Berry as assistant stage manager and Lacey Kennedy as wardrobe crew
chief. The wardrobe and prop/stage crews include Mandi Asmussen, Diane
Farrow, Jami Reehm, Saul Palencia, John Warren, Bradley Braddock and
Sean Riordan.

Medieval storyteller scheduled
Ozarks will present “Martha Hannah,
Medieval Teller of Tales” at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 14, as part
of the 2003-2004 Walton Arts & Ideas Series. Tickets are free for
U of O students, faculty and staff, and $10 for the general public.
Hannah’s performance of medieval English stories,
comedy and song is the first event of this academic year for the Walton
Program. This year’s theme is “A Tour of the British Isles.”
With a cockney accent and clad in period costume,
Hannah, as the hilarious Maid Martha, takes audiences back to an earlier
time by weaving a vivid verbal picture of medieval history, fantasy
and ghost stories in this entertaining and educational show designed
for the whole family. Versatile and dynamic and with a love for working
with a live audience, she draws the audience in and brings them on stage
with hilarious results.
“Martha’s expressiveness, vitality, great
knowledge of Medieval England, beautiful singing voice and great choice
of musical accompaniment all added up to a rollicking good time,”
wrote one reviewer of her show.
An avid arts-in-education advocate, Hannah is a veteran
professional character actor. She is a performing artist on the touring
roster with the Texas Commission on the Arts, the Tennessee Arts Commission’s
Arts in Education roster and the Mid-America Arts Alliance’s Heartland
Arts Fund Program.
Eagles, Lady Eagles whip LC
Both the Lady Eagles and Eagles dominated
Louisiana College on a hot Friday afternoon in American Southwest Conference
action at Hurie Field.
The Lady Eagles picked up their first conference win
of the year with a 3-0 shut out of the Lady Wildcats. The Lady Eagles
held a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to goals by Becky Obermueller and Brandi
Sliger. Obermueller scored her first goal of the season in the 12th
minute to give Ozarks a 1-0 lead. Lindsey Turnbow received the assist.
Sliger, a freshman forward from Royal, nailed her third goal of the
season in the 40th minute. Amy Kampfer received the assist. Ozarks’
final goal of the day came on Kate Lien’s shot in the 71st minute.
Freshman goalkeeper Sarah Stratton recorded the team’s first shutout
of the season and had three saves.
The Eagles tied a school record by tallying 42 shots
in their 10-0 win over Louisiana College (0-9-0, 0-4-0). The Eagles
42 shots equaled a match record set in 2001 against University of Dallas.
The Eagles domination began when they jumped out to a 5-0 lead after
one half of play. Taylor Magee, Ricky Herrera, Josh Edgmon, Ryan Skelly
and Jared Gordon each contributed a goal in the first 45 minutes. The
offensive outpouring continued in the second half with goals from Ron
Hogsett, Justin Goodman, Will Brahic and Gordon.
