——e—e—e—e se Little Theatre — cleans upat- Drama Festival tress, and the Special Merit Backstage award went to the On Cue Players. ; Grindler also gave certificates of merit to Kitimat actor Le Bennett and Terrace Little Theatre actress Charlotte Schoeps, and award for most promising actor to Harbour Theatre member Travis Oates, most promising actress to the Harbour Theatre’s Tami Caji, and she gave special recognition to Sylvia Zebroff of Prince Rupert, who wrote and acted in an original play for the festival. Grindler selected the Bulkiey Valley Players production of Tom Cone’s Cubistique to represent the zone at the B.C. Festival of the Arts. The Terrace Little Theatre’s modern production of a 600-year-old play took four of seven awards presented at the Skeena Zone Drama Festival held in the R.E.M. Lee Theatre last weekend. Adjudicator Voni Grindler called the decision to stage The Creation, and the Fall of Lucifer ‘ta. brave choice’’. The 20-minute play is one of 48 in the York Cycle of miracle plays that were devised to illustrate teachings of the church in 14th century England. Grindler said’ the miracle plays represent the very beginnings of English drama. The play opens with a modern adaptation of plainsong flowing | The Terrace Community Band Is one step closer to national competition in Calgary later — this month thanks to the Terrace Co-op who have donated $500 in return for a performance In the store’s concourse last Friday night. oo, . . through the theatre and the mild voice of God - portrayed here by Margaret Sinjur - describing in cadenced, alliterative verse the creation. Due to an initial im- balance in the sound and voice, the language in the first two minutes of the play was over- whelmed, but even so the _ oceanic sweep of the music and Sinjur’s serene monologue com- bined to convey a pleasant im- pression of light moving across the waters. Lucifer, played by Daniel Barnswell, is introduced through the use of an overhead spotlight as the light-bringer, greatest of archangels, and begins a mono- logue of self-disovery. At the height of rapturing over his own strength and beauty, the Fall begins. As he plummets back- ward off stage, one angel who reaches out in aid falls with him. The next scene shows both Lucifer and the other fallen angel as silhouettes within a very convincing imitation of Hell rig- _ged up by technician Dave Bat- tison, a sort of transparent well lit from below by red lights. The characters are seen as writhing and tormented shadows of su- pernatural size and proportion, howling out curses at their fate and each other. The piece con- cludes with affirmation in verse among God and the remaining angels of the whole of creation: heaven, heli, and the firmament. Grindler strongly commended the production during her public adjudication at the end of the evening, saying it featured ex- cellent set design, a strong presentation and a fine direc- tional eye. Richard Wood re- ceived the award for best di- rector, Dave Battison was recog- nized for best set design, Daniel Barnswell was named best actor, and the overall production was named best play - it will repre- sent the Skeena zone at Mainstage ’88 in Victoria at the end of May. _ ‘The remaining awards went to Robert Dugdale of Kitimat’s On Cue Players as best supporting actor, Sylvia Zebroff of Prince Rupert’s Harbour Theatre as best supporting actress, Jenny Feenan from the Bulkley Valley Players of Smithers as best ac- Clean tend The two-year contract for cleaning and repairing the city’s coveralls has gone to Time.
