A he completes his summer
with Troupe de Motion (see p.2
of this issue), Douglas College
theatre student Derek Metz will
face some exciting new challenges
in the fall.

Metz has been selected to at-
tend the three-year program at
Montreal's prestigious National
Theatre School of Canada, joining
Patrick Gallagher as the second
Douglas College student to be ac-
cepted in the last two years. Only
14 students of 500 who auditioned
nationally were accepted by the
school, commonly regarded as the
best in the country.

Metz, who played the role of
Sky Masterson in last fall’s Guys
and Dolls, and Kadmos in this
spring’s production of The Bacchae,
said the two years he spent in the
College’s Theatre program
sparked his determination to
strive for a career in theatre.

“T would recommend the pro-
gram for the simple fact that it real-
ly lets you know if you want to
work in theatre. It’s a great start-
ing ground,” he said.

“It makes me feel really good
about the program,” said Theatre
Instructor Dorothy Jones. “They
only take 14 people from across

be facilitating. There will also be
information available on testicular
examinations for you to take home
to your partners, sons or friends.
This is of particular importance to
men between the ages of 15 and 35.
Formal sessions will be held at
10:00 and 12:00. The videos and

handouts will be available be-
tween 9:00 and 4:00. Presenter:
Naomi Miller (RN), Canadian Can-
cer Society. Coffee, tea and juice
will be provided at 10:00 and
12:00. Space is limited! To register,

Canada, so we obviously must be
doing something right.”

Jones said it was the dedication
of Metz and Gallagher that
enabled them to make the grade.

Both students always did a little
extra to make a show work.

“They are both workers, and
that’s what you need. Talent is

only a part of it,” offered Jones.
“You have to be willing to be part
of the entire production process,
not just acting. Derek is the type
who will build sets and I’ve seen
him get impatient with other
people who weren't willing to
work because he knows it will af-
fect the show.” @
