The 20 | junior (Grade 2 to 4) and 20 senior (up to Grade 7) students presented seven skits ranging from Hippy- rella (a farcical look at the Wood- stock days, astutely geared at the audience - their parents, flower children of the sixties) to When Fairy Tales Go Bad (a mixed up, modem-day version of Prince Charming and the various ladies in his life, including Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella). Mistress of Cermeonies for the evening was Zoe North, a senior student in the July session. The students wrote many of the skits themselves, under the direc- tion of their instructors, Kevin Lorenz, Joe Zucchiatti, Sonya Dhami and Tricia Walker and supervisor Marianne Brorup-Wes- ton. The four instructors are high school students who are also active in theatre during the school year. The Summer School, in its 12th year of operation, is made possible through a federal government grant from the Challenge "90 program. On the back cover of the program Fae Mooney — Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 1, 1990 B13. Show caps Little Theatre summer school session for the July session final perfor- mance, the purpose of the summer school is explained: "It gives children an opportunity to explore the world of theatre in a friendly and non-threatening environment. It also gives our instructors a unique chance to share their dra- matic skills, while leaming respon- sibility, cooperation and flexibility. The main goal of the program is for everyone to have fun." The youngsters were introduced to ’group process’, and the import- ance of all roles in the theatre, whether they are on stage or behind the scenes. During their final performance, they set the stage for each skit, did costume and make-up for themselves and their friends, operated the lighting system, and acted admirably on stage. Many of the participants in the Terrace Little Theatre Summer School are back for their fourth and fifth summers. When asked why, one young man replied, "It’s fun, we do neat things, and it’s a chance to be people that you know you'll never be in real life." The next session of the summer school runs Aug. 7-24, and there are still spaces left. Call Marianne at 635-2942 to register. Continued from page B12 right at it. The penumbral eclipse that covers the western half of North America on Aug. 6 will test the skills of even the most perceptive observers, This one is especially challenging to see because it begins not long before sunset, when the Moon is low . in the west-southwest and the sky is starting to grow brighter with the approach of dawn. The situation is better on the west coast of North America, where the umbral eclipse begins before the Moon sets. If you have an unobstructed western horizon you should see a small dark ‘bite’ taken out of the Full Moon’s limb...” What makes a lunar eclipse interesting is the variation in col- our of the Moon when in Earth’s shadow. Colours range from almost-black to shades of grey or brown, deep red, rusty red, or brick red, coppery or orange. Although perhaps not as interesting as the Moon’s colour, an entertaining mini-spectacle to watch during the eclipse, Astronomy advises, is Earth’s shadow covering and uncovering lunar craters. You'll need binoculars or a telescope for this. And watch out for Cookie Monster! Happy Riverboat Days, everyone.
