For the 2001 fall semester, Communications Threatre presented two plays instead of the usual one With its production of Li sistrnta, the Department of Communications Theatre demonstrated that ancient need not mean dull or boring. Li sistrata is an ancient comedy that makes fun of political and social issues and figures of its time, but it is timeless in its depiction of certain aspects of the human condition. The last Greek play we did was a tragedy, so it ' s time for a come- dy. This is probably the most famous of the Greek comedies, said Dr. David Ruebhausen, director and assistant professor of theater. In Lysistrnta the Athenian women are tired of losing their hus- bands to the battlefields of the Peloponnesian War. In the lead role of Lysistrata, Rachel Scanlon of Muscle Shoals leads the women in a revolt, using sexual abstinence as the weapon until peace is made with the Spartans. Lysistrata (Scanlon) convinces the women that forced abstinence is the only way the men will return home and make no more war. The other women are reluctant at first, but finally agree to her strategy. The women hide within the walls of the city, take control of the trea- sury, and refuse to return home for anything. In turn, ihe men come anci beg for the women to come home, even if just for a short time. The men are o ' crpowered and made fools of by the women. Li sistrata was presented on the thrust stage, a type of staging used in ancient Greece, the original setting of the play. The stage juts into and IS surrounded on three sides by the audience. Cast members entered and exited the stage from various corners of the audience. The cast and crew who work on a thrust stage are more mar- ketable. Thev improve their resume bv learning how to work on all types of stages, said Ruebhausen. Other cast members were: Amanda Hughes, as Lampito; Amber Kennedy, as Myrrhine; Melissa Braswell, as Calonike; Abby Holmes, a Mycenean; Monica Hooper, a Pisan; April Tinman, a Corinthian; Rachel Williams, a Boetian; Kenny Davis, a Spartan soldier; Courtney Wilson, the female chorus leader; com- pleting the female chorus were Laura Holt, Jackie Hufham, Kristy McCutcheon, Kelly Nash, Tammy Olive, and Carrie Sumner. J.C. Hester, of Tuscumbia played the male chorus leader. Completing the male chorus were: Chris Bedwell, Matt Braddick, Dwayne Kit Minor, Chris Pelton, Matt Swan, and Ryan Talor. Ruebhausen ' s Theater 100 class designed the set. Matt Swan designed the graphic for promo- tional material. Daryl Crittendon and Zac Lawson, of Florence, were student technical directors. - Amy Zimmerman 26 m iV) Hey, Sylvia barks, as her master ' s wife enters the sky rise apartment in New York City. Hey! Hey! So began the Communication and Theatre Department ' s production of A.R. Gurney ' s Sylvia. Dubbed a canine comedy, the production holds a story that runs much deeper than the glimpse into the life of the title role; it is a tale of the hardships that occur in all marriages and the struggles to keep them together. Sylvia, superbly played by newcomer to the theatre department Amanda Maddox, is a dog that bursts into the 22-year-old marriage of Greg and Kate. She is the final block that makes the semmingly stable tower of the cou- ple ' s marriage begin to fall. The concept is a great one, but this reviewer thought play itself could have been written with just as much skill and wit without using so many words to reach the point. To clarify: depsite his magnificent performance, Daniel Tracy ' s character Greg tended to ram- ble on and on about his affection for Sylvia. However, despite its verbosity, the play was beautiful- ly delivered by the quartet of Maddox, Tracy, Anna Brooks, and Marc Mitchell. Tracy and Brooks ' on-stage chemistry as the married Greg and Kate was palpable, as was that of Tracy and Maddox ' s Greg and Sylvia. Also, of note was Mitchell ' s triad of characters, scoring many laughs from the audience. —Ben Rock
