Variety highlights Madill's Showcase
By Sarah Mann
Special to The Citizen
On May 8, 9, 10, 11, the F.E.
Madill Drama Guild presented its
2002 Performance Showcase, with
excerpts this year from Cats, South
Pacific, Les Mis, The King and I,
Stomp, Miss Saigon, Camelot, Hair,
Mamma Mia,- Grease, and Rent.
The show started with Cats as
Julie Nolan playing Grisabella, an
aging cat who feels she is no longer
youthful and beautiful, remembers
while singing Memories.
Julie Nolan, a rookie to the Drama
Guild, sang beautifully under the
light of a lone lampost with the soft,
subtle movements of many cats
behind her. It was quite interesting
to watch the cats fight and play with
each other in the background.
From Miss Saigon Jackie Falconer
as Kim, and Gelan Hopkins as Chris,
know that the Vietnam War escala-
tion could separate them forever,
thus, they share The Last Night of
the World.
The simple set provided the audi-
ence with minimal distraction, let-
ting them focus on the great chem-
istry between Hopkins and Falconer.
The excerpt from The King and I
also included two rookies. Anna
(played by Jontue Kuyvenhoven),
and the King of Siam (played by
Brett Archer) dance and discover
feelings of respect and love for each
revolved around Steve (Doiron)
wanting to get his wallet back from a
girl whom he doesn't, want anything
to do with anymore.
To the audience's delight, there
were also two Monty Python sketch-
es, Witch, and.Cannibals, which they
"humbly attempted to do justice to."
The actors had no problem doing
just that as Alex Martellacci,
William Kugler, Dyne Stuckey, Brett
Archer, Paul Walker, Tim• Jerva,
Doiron, Hodgins, Adam Beardsley,
and Dave Cameron delighted the
crowd with quick, witty humour.
The stand out performance of the
evening was a modern dance piece
Seasons of Desire which was chore-
ographed by student'Heather Sande.
To the music Four Seasons by
Vanessa Mae, Ashley Braun,
Amanda Brewster, MacKenzie
Carruthers, Jessica King,
Martellacci, Heather Sande, and
Jennifer Wallace provided the audi-
ence with a rivetting dance perform-
ance. This piece was beautifully
choreographed, 'and along with the
lighting techniques that were used, it
was a treat to both the eyes and the
ears.
The finale was the entire cast and
crew singing We are the World by
Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson.
It was an invitation to the audience
to join the chorus and celebrate the
students proclaiming their commit-
ment toward taking responsibility of
making the world a better place. It
was a wonderful way to end the
evening as the audience joined in
clapping their hands which led into a
standing ovation from an apprecia-
tive crowd.
The cast and crew work very hard
each year to provide sights, sounds
and stories that will remain with the
audience long after the final curttain,

and they certainly did just that. A

Bayfield host
art exhibit
The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage
Society will be hosting an art exhibi-
tion for two days beginning on
Saturday May 18. The exhibition
titled, Centuries Collide: a 19th cen-
tury hall hosts 21st century art, will
feature five, contemporary Ontario
artists.
The Bayfield Heritage Town Hall
will have the paintings of Lonny
Doherty, Blair Langley and Peter
Adams on display beside the work
of photographers Linda LeBel and
Richard Fitoussi. An opening recep-
tion from noon until 2 p.m. will pro-
vide gallery visitors an opportunity
to discuss the work with the artists.
As well as examples of the world
seen through the eyes of the photog-
rapher the diverse collection con-
tains landscapes, abstract pieces,
oils and acrylics. These works are all
presented against the backdrop of
the 19th century town hall.
As well as being open for viewing
from noon — 8 p.m. on Saturday,
May 18 the show will be continue
from noon — 4 p.m. on Sunday, May
19.
other as they sing Shall We Dance.
These two were comfortable
enough with each other to "One,
two, three" all over the stage.
Hair brought the audience back to
the age of Aquarius where the flower
children wear their hair long, raggy,
shaggy, beaded, braided and
spaghettied. Nolan sang the, song
Hair with much enthusiasm.
Stomp was choreographed by
Megan Teeft. Using plastic pails,
pots, wooden spoons, broom sticks,
and their own hands, these girls per-
formed a piece you could have
assumed was straight from Stomp.
The climactic ending was brought on
by the wonderful use of dynamics.
Megan Teeft has great talent as a
dancer and as a choreographer.
The showcase also included come-
dy sketches and modern dance
pieces.
The comedy sketch, titled Two
Guys and a Stupid Couch written by
students Kyle Hodgins, Kris Doiron,
and Ethan Chiddicks (who also
directed the piece.) This sketch
