Glimpses A s the lights go up, a lone, frail figure can be seen. ‘ What the hell are you doing in my attic? the old man shouts at the audience. He then begins to share memories of Ns family, serving as host for a new student drama experiment, an evening of Glimpses. A combination of six plays and play segments were presented Criticisms and opinions were later sought from the audience Each play was written and directed by a CWU student. What follows are glimpses of Glimpses. The Revenge” by Shawn McGehee A young man (Shawn McGehee) and woman (Paula Johnson) are nearing the end of an evening out. They appear to be enjoying themselves as they discuss the evening s events. The woman pours drinks and casually adds a few drops of a drug to her date ' s He soon becomes dizzy and aware of the fact that he s been drugged. Through his stupor he hears her tell the tale of a teenage girl who lost everything as the victim of a cruel joke one night. She continues on to reveal that it was this young man who raped her. He denies being there but she persists that it was him. The lights flash off momentarily and come on just long enough to see her holding a butcher knife above his head. The lights come up again upon the same scene but this time there is a new unsuspecting victim (Jeff DeCamp). The scene re¬ peats itself... Angie” by Kelly Dworak A rhythm and movement piece, Angie is a new dimension of expression for the Drama Department. The outline of a young girl asleep on a bed slowly emerges. Suddenly three figures, all dressed in black, begin to torment her. Suddenly three figures, the evil forces m Angle ' s dream, begin to torment her. Three figures dressed in white now arrive on the scene and begin to do battle with the evil figures. They also try to reassure Angie that the good forces have once again dominated over evil. The Mad Tea Party by Paul Vose TNs story was adapted from Alice in Wonderland. ' A madcap look at the Tea Party, Vose ' s version holds a few new surprises. Cheryl Barnett played Alice with Vose as the Mad Hatter, Shawn McGehee and Ken Sims joined in the fun as the Door Mouse and the March Hare. Glimpses was a first time effort by an alt-student com¬ pany, the first In what they hope will become an annual event. 20 Glimpses
