Board games Daniel Luedert/DN FRANK SADECKI, of Omaha, Jumps off a ramp during the Reader/Surge Extreme Music and Games, which was held in Omaha Saturday. The Games were host to a skateboard competition and a variety of musical acts, including Reel Big Fish, the Skeletones and the Nuttstalk Tour. Flutist entertains with music, anecdotes By Lane Hickenbottom Music Critic James Galway is the “Man With the Golden Flute.” Not only does he have a golden flute, he knows how to play it—quite well. Galway continued his long career of musical mastery Saturday night at the Lied Center for Performing Arts and he didn’t miss a note the entire night. But this is a man who has recorded more than 50 best-selling albums fea turing his flute abilities. He’s not sup posed to miss a note. What he is supposed to do in front of a large audience — like Saturday night’s sold-out crowd—is entertain. And entertain he did. Between numbers, Galway would explain the piece’s background and give little anecdotes about either his or the music’s past. One moment Galway would make the audience laugh by making cracks on the French with his Northern Ire land accent. Then before the next piece he connected with the audience by explaining that the following music would be a little crazy because it was written for New York City and rhe torically asked, “and you know how those New Yorkers are, don’t ya?” With the audience’s roar, it was obvious that he was as good witr people as he was with the flute. The music Galway played was vastly complex, containing a wide ar ray of both contrasting highs, lows anc speeds. Nobody else there could play what he was playing, and he knew it In describing the last piece, “So nata for Flute and Piano, Op.23” by Lowell Liebermann, Galway displayed his confidence in himself by telling the audience that if they had a problem child, they could “hand him a flute and the music to this next one and they will be busy for a couple of years.” It’s hard to be modest when yoi are the best, and when it comes tc playing the flute, Galway is right or top of the list. Local talents perform their one-act works By Liza Holtmeier Theater Critic The Masquers’ One-Acts provided the opportunity for a few budding playwrights to present their work. Some of the results of Friday’s perfor mance in the Studio Theatre seemed promising. The first play of the evening was “Siblings,” which was written by Timothy Scholl and co-directed by Jacque Camperud and Becky Key. Though this script was rife with con flict, die ending lacked resolution, and the language sounded bland and stale. Daryn Warner was satisfactory in the role of Allen. His fatherly conde scension contrasted his bitterness to ward Alex well. However, two of his more overly emotional scenes were made ineffective by corny music and over-dramatic lighting. Ryan Dolezal nicely portrayed the neglected and rejected youth in his role as Paulie. His shuffling steps and sul len looks communicated the unhappy lifestyle in which this child had been r*_a i:_ 1UIWU tv/ 11VV. Bridget Bohuslavsky was one-di mensional in the role of Alex. Her constant whining left her character flat and lacking in the emotions needed to convince the audience of her pain ful past. The second and most strongly writ ten play of the evening was “The Whole Ball of Wax,” written by An gela Hatcher and directed by Kate Eisenhour. The characters and conflict in this play were refreshingly real and touching. Ruth Briese gave the strongest per formance of the evening in her role as Carrie. She transgressed a variety of different emotions, portrayed a real rapport with Seth Swink in the role of Jase and provided a poignant charac ; ter with whom the audience could . identify. Swink also gave a moving perfor l mance. His innocent giddiness over love contrasted well with his confused maturity, and his chemistry with Briese enhanced the themes of friend ship. David Bruggeman gave a fair per formance in the role of Max. His lov ing tenderness toward Jase was believ able, but he lacked the brazen quali ties needed to pull off the more mys terious side of this character. “Smoke Rising in the Distance,” by Adam Rehemeier, followed “The Whole Ball of Wax.” This play cre ated a definite mood for the audience but was too laborious and redundant to hold the audience’s attention. William Cover II helped keep the show moving as # 13075. He sustained the high energy level needed to por tray this deeply depressed and con fused character, while emanating emo tion through his strong, expressive voice. Michael Consbruck was also strong as #10427. His character’s motivation was well-defined and his imvuouj vvuipniuviuuu vuvu a The final play of the evening, “Altemateen” by Joshua Richardson, seemed more like an extended impro visation among friends. Though the play’s situation was conducive to a variety of comedy, the play’s transi tions seemed choppy and the story lacked coherence. Andrew Kanago created a comic, yet tragic image in the role of Jimmy. His facial expressions, stance and sar castic tone all helped to define a defi ant and individualistic teen. Gregory Peters was excellent in the role of Eric. His character of the na ive Republican was funny in its subtlety, while his determined, caring “Altemateen” persona underscored Richardson’s more serious themes. Overall, the evening of plays pro vided an excellent opportunity for au diences to see original work by area talent. I ATTENTION STUDENTS!
