Attention! The Behrend Studio
Theater is letting everyone in on a
little secret, there's going to be a
murder! Word has it that Inspector
Hound will come to in
vestigate,...but wait, that's not In
spector Hound...and where's the
weapon? Will the Real Inspector
Hound please stand up! He will, on
November 11th and 12th at 7:30
pm. The Real Inspector Hound is
one of two season previews. An
Actor's Nightmare is the second.
Both one-act plays are described as
being "a play within a play". The
Real Inspector Hound is a sort of
who-done-it. There is a room of
suspects, a body, motives, and
mysterious visitor. The Real In
spector Hound is not, however,
just an old Hardy Boy's re-run
As the play progresses, the plot
thickens. The difference is, two of
the characters are Theater critics ap
parently sitting in the audience wat
ching the play. Suddenly, the
telephone rings on stage, no one is
around so Birdboot, the first critic,
answers the phone only to discover
that it is his wife. Still on stage,
Birdboot finds himself an actor in
the play. The story starts all over
again, only this time Birdboot
takes the place of the stranger in
the first scene. The play is a com
edy, and a mystery rolled into one
act of confusing hilarity. If you can
figure out who is playing what
character during the second half,
than you're missing out on half of
the fun.. The confusion is part of
the mystery.
in An Actor's Nightmare, a
stranger wanders on stage and is
told that another actor is unable to

play, but this time it's
melodramatic comedy that makes

Dancers

The crowd went Ole as Pascual
Olivera and Angela del Moral
danced. They appeared in Reed
117, October 30th at 8 pm.
"Dances of Spain" was a program
of classical, folk, and flamenco
dancing that has awed Americans,
Europeans, and Japanese. They
dance with style and grace while
wearing elegant customs.
Pascual Olivera was born in
Canton, Ohio to Spanish parents.
After watching his grandfather,
Emilio Cabezes, playing flamenco
guitar for Carmen Amaya, Olivera
decided to become a flamenco
dancer. At the age of nine, he was
already studying dance and drama
in Ohio.
He later went to Spain to be an
understudy in Sevilla. Olivera
worked with Enrique El Cojo,
Ramon Roy, Mercedes, and
Albano., By this time, he was the
first American in Spain to get a
professional license for Spanish
dance. Olivera came back to the
states to tour. Pascual then toured
the U.S. and Europe for the Pres
ident's Council for the Arts and
Army. After leaving the service, he
worked for Jose Creco's company.
Olivera started as a soloist in the
Royal Festival Hall, London.
Creco created the ballet, The
Adventures of Don Quixote, for
Olivera to lead. The ballet was
success.
After being with Creco for 3
years he got an invitation from the
Spanish Dance Company of Pilar
Lopez, to tour summer dance
festivals in Spain. The tour was a
success both artistically and
romantically for Olivera. He got to
see Angel del Moral perform in
"Antonio's Ballets de Madrid" at
the theatre De La Zaszuela. "I
of Spain
went back stage and asked her for
an autograph, it was a long
autograph," he commented with a
smile. For seven years, they had a
transatlantic correspondence, they
were married in both Spain and
America in 1976.
Angela el Moral has been a pro
fessional dancer since the age of
three. Moral would bring her
father, the theater manager. She
would often stay to watch the per
formers traveling through her
hometown ( Joen, Spain). In this
theater, Moral made her debut with
the touring company. She attended
the Conservatorio de Musica y
dance. The Spanish government
sent became the Prima ballerina for
Antonio's Ballets de Madrid. She
remained one for almost 16
years." Acclaimed by critics all
over the world, she has merited
special praise for her roles as the
miller's wife in 'The three Cor
nered Hat', Lucia in 'EI Almor
Brujo' and as a young mother in
`Antonio's Eternal Castilla'," says
Massimo Agency, N.Y. Angela del
Moral has been in six movies in
Spain, been on Spanish television
for three years, and toured the con
tinent at least five times. If that was
not enough, the Spanish govern
ment to be the first soloist for the
newly created National Festival
Spanish Dance Company.
Since their marriage in 1976,
Olivera and Moral have appeared
in the Chicago Symphony, Min
nesota Orchestra, Baltimore Sym
phony, and the Cincinnati Pops
Orchestra. "In 1984, they toured
22 cities in Japan, and were award
ed the Gold Medal for peace by
Japanese President Daisaku Ikeda
for their efforts promoting world
peace through culture,"says the
Siegee Artist Management.
Their performance at Behrend at

but educational. They began their

Everyone drinks and you can't stop
it. As long as people are careful

show with an excerpt from
"Zasabanda." Olivera taught the
audience how to play the Castenet.
He considers their styles of dancing
to be much more complex than
other types. The styles of clothing
worn were backed by a Spanish
history and their customs.
Del Moral returned to the stage
in a French designed dress to per
form the "Basque Dance." Follow
ing this dance, both dancers per
formed a dance called the "iota."

The Jota is the national dance of
Spain. For the grand finale Olivera
and Del Moral did the Rumba.
The Behrend audience enjoyed
the show as expected. As a Chicago
Reader once commented: "Pascual
Olivera and Angela del Moral pre
sent an evening of Spanish dance
that made one feel good about life,
dance, and especially about the
charming performers who know
how to put on a great show! "
