“Working with him got us back to
what we started with,” Spencer said.
“We learned to loosen up and just play
as a band in the studio.”
Simins agreed.
“I don’t think R.L. changed who we
are as a band, but he definitely gave us
a new way to look at what we did,” he
said.
Whatever Burnside gave to the
Blues Explosion, it hasn’t slowed down
their show in the least.
By the time they left the stage at
Sokol Hall Wednesday night, they had
single-handedly brought rock ‘n’ roll
back from the impending grave that
music industry watchdogs and critics
have been digging for over the last de
cade.
“If it’s good music, it’s good/’
Simins said. “And there will always be
good rock bands out there. Even if
there are a lot of sh*tty ones, too.”

STAR Theatre ef New Yerk City presents “Over the Edge.”
Company will confront issues
of sexuality in theatrical format
By Cliff Hicks
Staff Reporter
Today and Saturday, the New York-based
STAR Theatre will take viewers to the edge and
beyond as they present “On the Edge” and
“Over the Edge.”
The two shows, which are open to the pub
lic, focus on sex, communication and respon
sible decision making.
“On the Edge” is targeted more at a high
school audience, discussing topics such as peer
pressure, sexuality and risky behavior.
“Over the Edge” is a more mature and so
phisticated show, aimed at college students,
dealing with topics such as racism, homosexu
ality, communication, pregnancy and AIDS,
using not only dialogue but music to help relay
ideas.
--—
Both shows break the traditional boundaries
of theater by interrupting scenes, addressing
the audience and using other theatrical devices.
The STAR Theatre of Mt. Sinai’s Adoles
cent AIDS Program not only will ofTer the two
shows, but will visit classes as well.
Among other topics, the STAR Theatre will
discuss domestic violence with a sociology class
and improvisational theater with some of the
drama classes.
The STAR Theatre also offers a workshopi
called “How We Do What We Do: A Training;
the TVainers Workshop,” which is designed to»
help other educators integrate its techniques into;
their programs.
“On the Edge” will show tonight at 6 and
“Over the Edge” will show tonight at 8, as well
as Saturday night at 8:30. All shows will be held
in Room 119 of the Westbrook Music Building,
and admission is free.
