'Nolan ': suicide Hy MARGIE MARRON laily Collegian Staff Write' The plays presented at the University's 5 O'Clock Playwright's Theatre are always original productions, but few are more original than the current production of "Harry Nolan," the reason being that the main character, namely Harry Nolan, never makes an appearanceduring the entire play. In fact, the only clues the audience receives that Harry even exists come during the two occasions when Harry speaks; however, playwright Chris Hanzsek has Harry speak from a darkened room and from the in side of an outhouse, making sure that the audience never sees him. Despite the fact that the play is named for him, Harry's invisibility suggests that perhaps the play is not really about him at all. The characters in "Harry Nolan," which closes after tonight's performance at the Pavilion Theatre, live in a crazy world of fast food restaurants, religious MIME '4 l '"" * - - ;;:f• 1)I P' , • fof , „ • ~,~, z: 'soap opera really not funny cults, suicides and soap operas. All of the characters, and scenes are related in some way, but the play moves so quickly that at times these relationships are lost as the audience tries to follow the activity on stage. On the surface this is a funny play. Scenes such as the one with an army sargeant (Vickielee Wohlbach) telling her men they must fight because their country, after converting oil to margarine to save energy, now faces a serious margarine shortage, kept the audience laughing. However, Hanzsek weaves in several serious words and phrases along with the humor, leaving the viewer to wonder at the end if the play is really a , comedy or a satire. One theme that runs throughout the - play is that many of the characters die in some type of painful way. For example, Harry's cousin Bobby (Chris Kunkel) is killed when he drives his car into a tree, while Harry's girlfriend, Susan Young, also played by Wohlbach, is killed by penguins in Antartica after having both feet Dear K Dees, Thanks for making this year's Regatta the most successful ever.

Love, U-031 the Beta Figs Layers of colors, harmony of lines By COLLEEN MORRIS Daily Collegian Staff Writer For many people listening to a Beethoven sonata is stimulating, but for Diane Pepe it:can inspire her to create a complex harmony of lines and layers of color. On one level, Pepe's recent drawings, now are on display at the Museum of Art, appear to be abstract and disciplined rather than intuitive and emotional. But Pepe said that although a finished drawing has crisp geometric lines and soft pastel and colored pencil forms built up with crosshatching, it begins with her feelings rather than a particular plan in mind. "My drawings emerge as I think about a feeling. Sometimes it is the sense of a concerto, the feeling of a city or the nature of light that I may try to ex press," Pepe said. "I may begin with a field of marks that come into a form or with one line." Describing herself as a humanist/minimalist, Pepe said she wishes to express the most universal sense of a human idea or feeling in her drawings with shapes that do not imitate external forms, but instead imitate their and one of her hands amputated. Hanzsek takes care to associate each of the deaths in the play to Harry in some way. A major mistake made by Hanzsek and director Danny Peak was that they presented the story in separate segments, all of which resembled short skits. The problem with this format was that the audience tended to view each segment separately, and while they may have understood the meaning of each scene, they could not tie together a universal message at the end of the play. Overall, the direction by Peak was excellent and the performances by the cast were all very good, par ticularly Michael Endy's role as narrator. This was done with just enough tongue-in-cheek to keep him a major part of the play instead of being overshadowed by the other actors as many narrators are. If Harry Nolan's world of suicide and soap operas sounds familiar, that is because it is just like our world. essential nature. The early and middle period of Piet Mondrian's work inspire her and, like Mondrian, she uses line and color in an abstract way to capture the universal essence of the world. One drawing, "Confrontation," has strong lines and a muted block of red that can easily be interpreted as ex pressing both an impersonal meeting of opposing forces or an abstract ex pression of a human situation. In a more lighthearted collage made of strips of paper and red thread entitled "Blocked New York City" Pepe seems to have captured the crowded streets and streams • of cars of the city. Yet on another level, Pepe said, for her the work describes the intense pressures she felt while there. Although Pepe said she sees a definite cycle in her work moving from the simple to, the complex, she said she was not aware that a drawing done in 1978, "Complexity Begins," suggests a theme that is more fully developed in "No. 2 Cm" done this year.
