Sheldon theater shows
independent works
By Jennifer Krumel
Staff Reporter
When you're tired of the glitzy, half
baked and predictable films which
always seem to come out in the summer,
don't forget Lincoln's alternative cinema
at the Sheldon Art Gallery.
During the summer, the Sheldon
Film Theatre continues to provide the
'public with the opportunity to see
some of the best and most recent works
by independent filmmakers.
"The independent cinema," said Dan
Ladely, director of the Sheldon Film
Theatre, "consists of those films pro
duced outside of the Hollywood indus
try." Considering what a national box
office hit "Rambo" was last summer, it
doesn't seem likely that too many
independent films will make it big in
the average American theater in the
near future. Ladely says, however, that
the independent cinema's audience
has grown, especially in the past year,
and its popularity is steadily increasing.
Sheldon's Film Theatre concentrates
on portraying film as an art form, so it
presents films of a broad range of
aspects, styles, and genres. Ladely tries
to balance the subject matter by show
ing documentaries as well as fiction,
animation and short features. Ladely
said he chooses films which may

heighten social consciousness instead
of limiting the cinema to only those
films geared toward entertainment.
The Sheldon Film Theatre has a
colorful summer schedule. There will
be a series of films by women directors
as well as films by other American
independ3nt filmmakers. A couple for
eign films are also scheduled.
Why "women directors?"
It just turned out that way," says
Ladely. "Women have always been in
volved in filmmaking, but in the past
the trend was in other fields, such as
editing."
This year, though Ladely didn't plan
the "women's" series, most of the films
were made by women.
Along with a variety of fiction films,
several important documentaries will
be shown, including "Florio" and Mudd's
"Broken Rainbow" the Academy-Award
winning film about the Navajo Indians.
If you're into spectacular animation,
Faith Hubley's "The Cosmic Eye" Gust
released in New York City last Friday)
should interest you.
Schedules are available at the Art
Gallery. Screenings are usually Thurs
day through Sunday of every week in
the evenings, with Saturday and Sun
day matinees. The price is a mere $3.75
(that's 25 cents less than you normally
pay for a movie downtown).
Ambience, menu, talking plant
enhance twisted "Little Shop"
By Chris McCubbin
Staff Reporter
There are dates and there are
dates. There's the run-of-the-mill,
waste-an-evening, stave-off-boredom,
movie-or-burger date. Then there's
the real thing, knock-their-socks-off,
blow-their-mind, genuine night-to-remember.
It's not easy for the average col
lege student to provide his or her
significant other with the sort of
world class night on the town that
compares to the dates one sees on
"Hart To Hart" reruns or Doris Day
Cary Grant movies. At least it's dif
ficult in this part of the world, with
out dropping a semester's tuition in
the process.
But it's not impossible to find an
affordable dream-date if one knows
where to look, and one of the best
places to look is Omaha's Firehouse
Dinner Theatre.
The Firehouse was established in
1972, one of the first businesses to
move into the fashionable Old Market
area. Located at 1 1th and Jackson,
the Firehouse is simply a brick wall
from the outside, but inside it
evokes an opera house of the last
century. Everywhere you look you

An evening at the Firehouse beg
ins downstairs at Harrigan's restau
rant. The menu is a choice between
three entrees: Prime Rib, Cordon
Bleu Florentine, or Orange Roughy.
After dinner the crowd moves
upstairs to the theatre, where the
Firehouse Brigade, an in-house troupe
of singing and dancing waiters,
serve drinks and deserts.
Entertainment begins with the
Brigade's pre-show. Currently the
pre-show is selections from four
current Broadway musicals. After
this another round of drinks is
served before the show starts.
This summer's show is "Little
Shop Of Horrors" by Howard Ash
man and Alan Menken.
The play tells the story of the
relationships between a poor, hon
est boy from skid-row and his talk
ing, man-eating houseplant.
The cast is superb and profes
sional. A couple of the midwestern
actors have some difficulty with the
variety of New York accents the play
calls for, but you stop noticing this
quickly as you lose yourself in the
play's imaginary world.

Particularly memorable are Be
linda Acosta, Kristy Kight, and Tif
fany White, as Chiffon, Crystal and
Ronnette, three doo-wop-singing
street urchins who provide the score
with a personality seldom seen in
musicals today.
Don Richard, a gangly and rubber
faced actor, takes on a huge number
of incidental roles in the play, and
unquestionably puts in the show's
finest comedic performance as Orin,
the sadistic biker-dentist, strung
out on amyl nitrate.
The star of the show, though, is
Audrey II, the talking plant. Audrey
II is a $13,000 puppet shipped from
Florida at a cost of $1,200. Along
with Audrey II came his manipula
tor, Michael Dayton. Dayton and
Rick Kleber, who provides Audrey
IPs amplified, basso voice, combine
to give the plant a charming, cheer
