The Studio Theater has made a Greek tragedy popular as well. Last semester's production of the Greek tragedy, Antigone, was a success in many ways. Antigone enjoyed sold out performances during the entire run and received a "rave" review in the "Showcase" section of the Erie Times. Additional performances were a held in the studio theater as the cast performed for nearly 400 students from other schools. For Preston's evolution The Relic, hits screens by Chad Clouse coney:lan sluff The movie The Relic is being called "The next evolution in terror" by its makers--evolution being a pun on the main story line of the movie. Based on a novel by Douglas Preston, the action takes place in a Chicago museum. Through an ancient ritual, a scientist from the museum is mutated into a monster. This ritual takes place in the jungle, and he is shipped back to Chicago where he infests the museum. The story is based on DNA and hormones from a fungus that have the ability to fuse the DNA of different animals. The monster is a collage of mammal, insect, reptilian, and human DNA. It takes a little technical knowledge to understand what has happened. 52 Yalie 53 Shortly 54 Coarse flour 55 The Search ers hit 60 "AI That Jazz" director 61 Miscalculate 62 Villainous Vincent 63 Bolger or Liotta 64 'Twixt 9 and 12 66 Mountain mover? 67 Pewter base 68 It may be eaten or drunk 69 Women's wear 72 "How the West Won" 73 French seaport 74 Objective 77 Sonata ACROSS 1 Singer Lou 6 Movie pooch 10 Give one's eyeteeth for 15 Frosh's nemesis 19 Postulate 20 Swing a sickle 21 Send a check 22 Duel tool 23 "Sayonara" Oscar winner 25 "Uncle Tom's Cabin" character 26 Campus area 27 Tankard 191 28 Genesis disaster 29 Pitch in 30 Fresh horn the trail 31 Celt 32 Patronized a pizzeria 33 Actual 35 Heebie jeebies 39 Ecclesiastic 45 Sedgwick or Adams 48 Dieter's portion 48 Composer Satie 49 Spelling contest 50 Dramatist Edward movement 117 "Zip- - 78 E.C.

Mercyhurst College's Introduction to Theater class studied the play and was excited to see it brought to life, Other schools, such as Harborcreek High School, Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria Academy, have studied this Greek drama and were treated to a special performance. As in the case with all "student matinees" the performances were followed by a discussion with the cast, crew and conductor, Tony Elliot. The cast was delighted by the seriousness of the questions from the audience. "I couldn't believe the in-depth questions the students had about The story is not as far fetched as it sounds, although it is built around an ancient myth called the Kothoga--an ancient monster created to reap genocide on an enemy village. Be prepared for blood. The killing in this movie is digitally mastered and it makes for a very real effect. The heads of the victims are ripped off in front of the camera, and there are blood pools at their feet. Dr. Margo Green, played by Penelope Ann Miller, is a biologist for the museum and the last target of the Kothoga. She figures out the identity of the human DNA through a computer search, and then takes advantage of the information. The finale is characteristic of true action movie making in that it destroys part of the museum. 87 Charlie's fourth 88 Like this clue 91 Delany or Wynter 92 Be in a precarious state 95 Delights 98 Cash on credit 99 Mr. Lucky's card 100 Zone 101 Actor Willem 104 Ski wood 105 They'll hold water 107 Arafat's Top. 110 Son of 118 Across 111 He went through hell 113 Convulsed with laughter 115 Bloomsbury buggy 118 Take in, perhaps maneuver 3 Extensive 4 Badminton stroke 5 Mascara mishap 6 Naive 7 Asian capital 8 Sharp taste 9 Basilica area 10 'B5 Peter O'Toole film 11 It may be comic 12 In the thick of 13 Namely: abbr. 14 LAX letters 15 "The Empire Strikes Back," e.g. 16 Artistic output 17 Swamp stuff 18 Actress Lamarr 24 Rip 30 Sturdy fabric 32 Sue Langdon 68 Journeys 104 Pro foe 33 "Comin' 69 Audacious 105 Prejudice the Rye" 70 " Doone" 106'— partridge 34 Harness part 71 Salad in ..." 35 Astrologer ingredient 107 Sweater Dixon 72 " Can It letters 36 Sluggard Be Now?" 106 Tun throw -37 Romulus' river 73 Bank away. 36 Prepared deposit? 109 Christiania. to drive 74 Reference today 39 "Now We Are volume 111 Patriotic org, Six" author 75 "Goodnight" 112 Chicken 40 Fervent girl king 41 Some bills 76 Buttes 114 Actor the play," said Lidana Chinea. "You could tell that they were seriously paying attention and that made all the hard work we put into the production worthwhile." For the first time in the series of student matinees the production hit the road. The cast and crew was invited to take the entire production to Mercyhurst Prep. The Behrend actors performed for over 200 juniors and seniors, most of whom have studied some version of the play. "The new stage was a big change from our little theater on campus," remarked Tony Elliot. "Not only were the actors raised up a lot the audience, but for the first time of terror, Lt. D'Agosta, played by Tom Sizemore, is in charge of investigating the murders in the museum. While he is a tough character, it takes him too long to understand the true nature of the threat. The believable storyline and the great action makes this an intense horror movie. The action is fast paced with plenty of surprises. There are numerous jump-outs by the monster that rock the theater, and the gore is first class. The police are left impotent against the monster which threatens to kill everybody in the museum. There is death at every turn, and the movie makers are not afraid to kill off a few main characters. 70 Demonstra tive pronoun 79 Silents' vamp 42 Stout 43 Bedevil 44 Paris' prize •0 Radames' love 47 TV host Robin 51 City on the 82 Versatile bean Rio Grande 83 even keel 53 "Ask Girl" 87 Bassoon 54 Reformer relative Lucretia SS Robin Hoods 56 "Clinton's hobby Ditch" 89 Average grade 57 Tends a tot 90 Folklore 58 Periscopeures Part 93 fig ures 59 Smith of 94 Step on it Rhodesia 96 Director 60 "The Riefenstahl Addams 97 Spring holiday Family" 100 Fatheads uncle 101 Johnny of 64 Meter reader?

This performance was at the end of the long run so the whole cast was comfortable with the play. Mike Lechner, who starred as Haemon, will soon be taking to the stage again here at Behrend.
