14 Kim Parent and Lisa Johnson, two University of Delaware gradu- ates, made beautiful music together in Bacchus. Throughout the even- ing the duo's selections ranged from folk, rock, blues, reggae, to Motown. Parent and Johnson's fa- vorite song Dog and Butterfly originally by Heart easily became the crowd's favorite. The Young women enjoyed the same tastes in music, that of Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young. During the show, they combined well known songs with their own origi- nal compositions. Parent and John.- son complimented one another with range and harmony, and were a hit with the Bacchus crowd. Par- ent, a psychology major and John- son, an English major set an exam- ple for all Delaware students. - Brondywine Sgond e

The University Theatre opened the 1981-82 season with Thornton Wilder's classic American drama, Our Town. Taking place at the turn of the century, the play depicted everyday life in Grover Corners, a small New Hampshire town. Unlike most plays, which are simply presented with the actors on stage, Our Town was presented in a some- fg rechl on $ Mc4;, , gw aw what three-fold manner, with the action taking place on not only the stage. Scenes were set in the front section of seats, and other actors were scattered throughout the the- atre, interacting with the narrator of the play. This method of presenta- tion was highly effective and great- ly enhanced the production of Our Town. i 3 Hie FEdy si'ks;;zn-;;.- i S S - e o .: T L e X F. o o : A -l , :J:' il e R R R R 13

The music was hot and just kept getting hotter. The crowd packed in side by side, moved to the beat. The combination of sizzling rhythm and hot funk left the crowd shouting for more as the Dave Wooley Band and Pieces of a Dream performed before a full house at Bacchus in the fall. The Dave Wooley Band, fea- turing several U of D students warmed up the crowd with both funk and jazz alike. The crowd gave the jazz trio, Pieces of a Dream, an equally great wel- come. The band, composed of three college students, and re- cently released their first album with the help of sax player Gro- ver W'ashingmn,jr. From their new album enti- tled Pieces of a Dream, the band played originals such as Warm Weather, featuring singer Barbara Walker. The concert climaxed as the Dave Wooley Band returned to the stage and joined Pieces of a Dream, bringing the crowd to its feet for one final jam. 15
