Studio Theatre to hold auditions for Fall comedy production By Valerie Trost staff writer Attention Behrend students: the Studio Theatre is putting on a brand new production this Fall. This Pulitzer Prize winning production, Crimes of the Heart, is a dark corn edy written by Beth Henley. Crimes of the Heart also won the New York Drama Critics award establishing Beth Henley as a major contributor to the world of women theatre writ ers. The play looks into the lives of three McGrath sisters who grow up in the small town of Hazelhurst, Mis sissippi. This imaginative production takes a lighthearted look at the crimi nal aspects of heartache (hence, the title). Abuse, affairs, suicide, and birthday celebrations all greet the McGrath sisters during this one day reunion in the town in which they grew up. Beth Henley provides a pro duction quite worthy of its awards. It is sure to be shocking, disturbing, in novative, and hilarious for both the oo Goo Dolls to play at Behren By David Young staff writer Students are constantly com plaining of boredom at Penn State- Behrend. However, they should realize that there are more things to do than any one person can handle here on campus. One of the more popular things to do on campus is to join a frater nity or sorority. There are many Greek organizations on campus to rush.

It stars Tom Everett Scott, who previously starred in the Tom Hanks project, That Thing You Do, which was based on an Erie, PA, band that made it big. Scott stars as Josh, a nerdy, straight-laced bookworm on an aca demic scholarship in a six-year medi cal program. Co-starring along with Scott as his roommate is Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Gosselaar plays Cooper, a privileged son of a toilet-cleaning businessman who is just at school to party and escape the realities of life. The film opens with Josh trying to rest and get ready for the first day of classes, while Cooper brings in twenty or so people to party in their room. Cooper seems to be so fixated with his five foot tall purple bong that he continues to fire up throughout the movie. Meanwhile Josh meets Rachel, an attractive auburn-haired coed, who is an enjoyable distraction from his studies. 54 Check recipient 57 Ginger cookie 59 Actress Laura 60 Herbal drink 61 Mont. neighbor 63 Theater-sign letters Features Campus When midterms come around, Josh and Cooper realize that they might be failing some of their classes, which would put Josh's scholarship in jeop ardy and cause Cooper to lose his father's support. Josh and Cooper pool their thoughts as to what to do to survive the semester, and they dis cover a school code that guarantees students straight A's for the semester if their roommate dies. The two debate the issue, then de cide to find a suicidal student as a roommate. They go through three roommates who they think would be prime candidates to commit suicide. The first was a hyper-paranoid, Bill Gates-fearing student, the next is a pseudo-British punk singer, and fi nally there is Cliff, the ultimate party animal. Cliff takes the roommates on many adventures, from frat house hi jinks to high speed chases with the police. Although it is integral to the plot, the lighthearted way in which suicide is dealt with in this picture is some what disconcerting. However, the script seemed somewhat original, the tempo was upbeat, and the movie as a whole was quite entertaining. *** Send a classified to your sweetheart! Free classifieds faculty, and staff.
