MAD HATTER 2 ee Such musical comedies as “Where's Charley?” have a place in theatre repertoire by virtue of pure enjoyment, according to theatre director/producer Dorothy Jones. “This is a happy show, unburdened by any weighty message, with plenty to delight the senses,” says Jones. Elaborate period costumes (seventy- six in all) and sets for “Where's Charley?” were researched and crea- ted in the theatre's workshops. For the first time, the set-construction crew has built a revolving “turntable” for the spacious stage, facilitating quick set- changes. And a six-piece band from the college will provide live musical accompani- ment for the songs, which include the toe-tapping “Once in Love with Amy’, “My Darling, My Darling’, and “The New Ashmolean Marching Society”. Jones also says “Where's Charley?” is a tremendous opportunity for the students to hone their skills in singing and dancing as well as acting. “The key to carving out a theatre career is versatility”, says Jones. Now in its fourth year at the first-class facilities of the New Westminster campus, the Douglas College Theatre Department has been steadily build- ing its reputation. The most recent was Moliere’s classic, “The Would-Be Gentleman”, which ran successfully last spring. “Where's Charley?” will be opening on Friday, November 14th in the Perform- ance Theatre. Showtimes will be at 2000 hours, November 14-16 and 18- 22. with an afternoon matinee at 1400 hours on Sunday, November 16. Tues- day, November 18 will be $2.50 night for everyone General admission will be $7, $5 for students and seniors.

FOUR IN THE FOYER EXHIBITION STARTING SOON A celebration of what four accomplished artists find intriguing in their emotional and visual world will be the theme of the Four in the Foyer art exhibition hosted by Douglas College. The presenting artists are four members of the Douglas College Arts Exhibition Advisory Committee and have all had many personal and group showings. The Advisory Committee Co-ordinator Sandra Shaw says the exhibition is the personal expression of what the artists each find intrinsically fascinating and want to share with others. The works presented will be in a variety of media and represent a diversity of sub-themes. Exhibitor Gillian Elliot's works are a selection of water colours depicting her fascination with light and reflected images, while Sandra Shaw describes her pieces as intimate reverences of other women's handiwork representing her fascination with the women's world. A collection of experimental pieces by Marilyn Timms evolving around the human form will be exhibited, and Morena Morrell will present wash and water colour landscapes and interiors. Shaw also hopes to exhibit a fifty-foot wall of xeroxes of old newspapers from Vancouver's first century. This exhibit will be coming from showings at the Robson Media Centre and Park Place. The Four in the Foyer exhibition begins on November 14 to coincide with the premier of the Douglas College theatre production "Where's Charley?" The exhibition runs until December 12 and is located at the Douglas College Theatre Foyer Gallery, open from 0800 to 2200 hours daily.
