“Your downtown

ally goofy in storytelling for chil-
dren.”
Bush pointed out the chal-
lenges of such a performance.
“Being a story for children,”
she said, “it’s a little difficult be-
cause these are not intricate charac-
ters. These are animals and one-di-
mensional people.”
Bush added, “It.’s a challenge
when you’re used to playing one
character who develops with the
time on stage.”

The six NE Campus choir members who were selected to perform in
the Two-College All State Choir are Teresa Oyola, Lisa Seehusen and
Jennifer Eggers, front, and Kenny Clymer, Sarah Magie and Ron
Crittenden, back.
Six TCC students from NE Campus performed with the Texas Two-
Year College All-State Choir earlier in February.
The Festival was in conjunction with the Texas Music Educators
Association annual convention in San Antonio.
Chuckie Hospers, NE choral director, chose students from her choir
classes for the auditions.
The students representing TCC were Teresa Oyola, Sarah Magie,
Jennifer Eggers, Lisa Seehusen, Kenny Clymer and Ron Crittenden.
The students went through a verification process to become part of
only 126 students representing two-year colleges in Texas.
The students rehearsed for three days for the opportunity to work with
Dr. James Jordan, a choral conductor and educator.
Sarah Magie, one of the students who participated in the event, said,
“This year was much different than last time. Having James Jordan as the
conductor was amazing.”
All the students respected Jordan and had a great learning experience,
Magie said.
“One day just before we broke for lunch, the entire choir gave him a
standing ovation,” she said.
Kenny Clymer, another member of the choir, said, “It was the most
outstanding choral experience I’ve ever had. In San Antonio we were
around the best musicians in the world.”
Teresa Oyola said, “Going to the convention was a musician’s heaven.”
Sarah Magie explained what makes them such a close-knit group.
“We may be different ages, and come from different backgrounds, but
we share one common goal: a love of music,” she said.

McCormick says it is this rea-
son that makes Story Theatre a
great teaching tool for dramatic stu-
' dents.
“It stretches them,” he said.
“I am constantly asking them
to make each character different
from the last one they played,” the
director said.
Yeager, who plays several char-
acters including the Hound in
Bremen Town Musicians and the
Eldest Son in The Golden Goose,
said, “We’re having a lot of fun. I

Oscar night ready
Tribune Media Service—Here are some of the winners and losers
from the recent Academy Awards nominations:
Winner: Steven Soderbergh, the double-threat director of Erin
Brockovich and Traffic.
Loser: Robert Zemeckis. He landed a potent One-two punch at the
2000 box office, but his Cast Away collected nominations just for actor
Tom Hanks and sound, and What Lies Beneath got nothing.
Winner: Ridley Scott. His Gladiator led the field with 12 nomina-
tions. His Hannibal opened to the third-highest weekend gross ever, and
the biggest for an R-rated movie. He had a good week.
Loser: Cameron Crowe. Almost Famous seemed positioned for a
best picture pod and Crowe's first best director nomination. Alas, the
Academy's Baby Boomers couldn't deliver.
Winner: Miramax. Placing Chocolat in the top category extended
the distributor's streak of best picture nominees to nine years.
Loser: The summer. Not one movie released between Memorial
Day and Labor Day received a nomination in a major category.
Winner: Chinese/Hong Kong cinema. The 10 nominations for
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, including best picture, should give an
additional boost to the newly crowned foreign-language box-office
champ in the United States.
Winners: Chicago filmmaker Tod S. Lending, whose documentary
Legacy was nominated for best documentary feature. Other Chicago-
connected nominees: Joan Allen (best actress, The Contender), John
Logan (original screenplay, Gladiator) and Eric Simonson (documen-
tary, short subject, On Tiptoe: Gentle Steps to Freedom).
Losers: Thirteen Days, Finding Forrester, The House of Mirth,
Remember the Titans, Nurse Betty and Unbreakable, all of which got
shut out.

said Bush. “They react really loud.”
Before the opening of the
show, a contest was held for ele-
be heard clucking and cackling mentary-aged children from kinder-
garten to sixth grade.
They were required to write an
essay on how their class would be
the best behaved at a performance.
The winning class will be treated to
a preview performance the
Thursday before the show opens.
“Playing to children makes the
show a lot more fun for me to do,”
Davis said. “It’s a lot like musicals

narrating to the audience and then
finish it in dialogue to another actor.
It’s easy to forget lines.”
Bush portrays a narrator,
Goosey Lucy and the Eldest
Daughter in The Golden Goose.
Ironically, the set is a realistic
looking old house with dull colors,
an antique wood-burning oven, a
white sheet covered bed and a
wooden door frame.
This set is used for several sto-
ries by turning at different angles. A
barrel, a chair or a specific prop
may be brought in depending on the
next scene.
The contrast between the life-
like set and the larger-than-life cos-
tumes and characters give a story-
book feel to the production.
Another unique quality is the
use of human sound effects rather
than traditional recorded sounds.
For example, when an actress pan-
tomimes feeding chickens, the cast
can
in the wings.
One of the things that excite the
cast about the production is the op-
portunity to play to children.
The stories are familiar, and
they are attached to a lesson or
moral at the end.
“I'm really looking forward to
this because children don't worry
about withholding their reactions,”

Campus rehearses for its opening
— Wednesday, Feb. 28.
B Unlike traditional full-length
® theatre productions, Story Theatre is
pretty much a children’s play. The
script is based on Aesop’s fables
and the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales
“We have never done theater
m that was for both children and
B adults,” Leonard McCormick, direc- said. “We’ll start off the sentence
" tor, said. “This was a balanced sea-
son, and I wanted to do something
that would appeal to the whole fam-
ily’’
Fifteen cast members run on
■ and off stage rearranging the set, al-
B tering their crazy costumes and
changing their voices to portray 69
different characters.
Henny Penny, The Bremen
Town Musicians, The Robber
Bridegroom, The Golden Goose and
B The Little Peasant are some of the
91 stories told in Story Theatre.
“One of the biggest challenges
for me is making sure the audience
is entertained even though they are
seeing the same actors over and
over again,” actor John Davis said.
“It’s a challenge to try to think
of something new for each charac-
ter,” he said.
Davis plays the ass in Bremen
Town Musicians, the Miller in The
Robber Bridegroom, the Master
Thief and the Second Son in The
Golden Goose.
Actor Charlie Garrison is excit-
ed about the characters he was se-
lected to play and feels right at
home with the production.
“I feel like I play myself be-
cause I'm goofy all the time, any-
way,” he said.
Other players include Robert
Alcorn, Allen Arnold, Leeann
