[tody suit, the ravages of Sfnmunit ' equally divid- not typical stage tare at the iiiiversUv of North Alabama. ' DirectoBohn McCaslin-Doyle chose thB 2001 spring play for that verj|reason. Epic style, the versatileillu on of a set and the makeup of the ensemble cast set the play apart from past produc- tions. Communications and Theatre presented The Caucasian Chalk Circle, by Bertolt Brecht, to the campus and the general pub- lic March 15-18. Brecht wrote the play in the 1940s and set it in Soviet Georgia near the end of World War II. Brecht ' s epic stvle moans each scene stands on its own and tells its own story. The Caucasian Clialk Circle is actuailv two stories — the first being that of a dominant female protagonist named Grusha (played by Whitney Segraves) and the sec- ond that of a mischievous judge, A dak (played by J.C. Hester) — that come together in the end. Brecht purposely designed his plays so that the audience would feel detached from the actors on stage and conscious of watching a performance. In Tlw Caucasian Cluilk Circle, Brecht succeeds in his goal. The beginning is structured to cap- tivate the audience to prepare themselves to watch a play within a play that stems ivom a heated debate between two groups of peasants. The conceptuality of the play is cap- tured by the illusion of the set. There is not a bad seat in the house. A ramp, used for the actors ' entrances and exits, extend- ed from the center of the stage and direct- ly into the auditorium. Thus the actors were able to meander among and interact with the audience. Audience members who sat up close caught a glimpse of actors backstage preparing themselves to go back onstage and assume their roles. This technique was used to remind mem- bers of the audience that they were watching a performance. The student- designed set and costumes were flexible and the actors were extremeh ' energetic. The pla ' was performed by an acting ensemble in which the actors played sev- eral different characters. Children were featured in the play, which added a touch of innocence to the adult dramatic scenes dealing with motherhood, tiie ravages of war, and the judicial system. The play did contain some adult language and con- tent. J.C. Hester of Tuscumbia, who played Azdak and six other characters, became interested in Brecht when he performed another of his works, ilic ' I ' hrccPoiuy Opera. This spring ' s production, he said, was different from any other he ' d ever participated in. It brings elements of theater to the stage that people here have never seen before. Although this play was written in the mid ' 40s, some of its content is still pertinent today. Many different phases go into per- forming a play. The magic happens when those phases come together and gel after weeks of rehearsal. Caucasian Chalk Circle was McCaslin-Doyle ' s third play at Norton Auditorium. He directed Skin oj Our Teeth in the Fall of 1999 and Pot of Gold in Summer of 2000. He left the uni- versity after a summer 2001 production of As You Like It. — Sarah Nobles AGE OF INNOCENCE. The children who partici- pated in The Caiicnslan Chalk Circle struck a bal- ance with some of the harsher scenes. ' PLEASE SIR! ' K.C. Wood implores of Daniel Tracy from the stage floor. 25
