Nights
King
Lear, Night of the Living Dead
King
Lear
Opens at LCC's Performance Hall Thursday, Oct. 4.
The Student Productions Association folks called
(a bit late) to tell us that they were excited because this was
the first time LCC had hired a professional actor and the first
time an SPA show would be in the Performance Hall (aka the main
stage). Lear deserves both, of course. While LCC won't have
Sir Ian McKellen for Lear, it will have Equity actor Joe
Cronin and an amazing production department, as usual. This most
devastating of Shakespeare's tragedies should serve as an appropriate
start to LCC's winter season.
Show dates are Oct. 4-6, 12-14 & 19-20. Get
tix at 463-5761.
Night
of the Living Dead
Opens at Corvallis' Majestic Theatre Friday, Oct.
5.
Um, we know what this one's about, no? Really, you
don't? OK, well, there's some probe from Venus with some radiation
that brings the flesh-dripping dead peeps back to "life," and then
there's the people trapped in a farmhouse, turning on each other
as the zombies come at them. Fun! And it's a fundraiser for the
Majestic Education fund (see more on that on p. 40).
Show dates are Oct. 5-6 & 11-13, with a special
near-midnight showing on Oct. 12. Tix available by calling 738-7469.
