Condensed ‘Romeo and Juliet’ takes Lied stage ROMANTIC from page 9 Several dance forms are featured, including jazz, ballet and modem. And the music, including works by Peter Tchaikovsky and Leonard Bernstein, also transcends boundaries of time, though all of its pieces are inspired by the original play. ‘“Romeo and Juliet’ is such a time less tale,” McKercher said. “I wanted to get across the timeless nature of it all.” Costume designer Rhonda Lake said this combination of time periods is evident in the characters’ dress. Older characters, including Lord and Lady Capulet, have traditional, Shakespearean costumes. But the younger characters, such as Mercutio and Tybalt, dress more like today’s gen eration. “Some characters even wear cargo ■" ..-.' ■ pants,” Lake said Amadeus Mozart’s 242nd birthday. This modem quality also extends to The symphony and actors shared how the younger characters of the play the stage for the show, but there was relate to each other and the actions they minimal interaction between the two. take, McKercher said. “When Romeo takes on Tybalt, it’s not just fancy sword play, but he kicks the shit out of / him,” McKercher said. 14 Mill said this production / grew out of a successful partnership last year fl between the sympho- V \ ny and the , Playhouse. t L a s t A January, the ^k two companies v joined forces ■ for “Amazing \ Amadeus,” a cele bration of Wolfgang “The night of ‘Amazing Amadeus,’ it went so well,” Mill said. “We kind of looked at each other and said, ‘Well, what could we do to top , this?’” V The B answer lies B in the con W nection r between the f music and the drama in “Romantic Rhapsody,” dill said. Matt Haney/DN ] In “Amadeus,” the two were sepa rate entities. But the Valentine’s Day performances have music overlapping dialogue, as well as each standing alone. And the incorporation of die Lied Center gives Playhouse regulars a chance to perform at a much larger venue. The Playhouse seats about 300, McCullough said, while the Lied seats 2200. Guest artists with ties to Lincoln are returning to play several key roles. Romeo and Juliet’s roles will be per formed by two former Lincoln High students, Dylan McCullough and Melissa Marie Lewis, who shared the stage in high school. And former University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Paul Steger, one of the most well-known fight choreographers in the country, is working out the swordplay as well as Ued Center Hm facts What: Romantic Rhapsody Where: Lied Center for Performing Arts When: Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Cost: $35, $31 and $27, half-price for students The Skinny: A grand collaboration of businesses and art forms playing Mercutio. But even with the action, the event is perfect for anyone who wants a roman tic mood for Valentine’s Day, McKercher said. “You’re going to want to smooch after this one.” ^MkDinosai/s, etc. 206 m**0 Hoff " -1 472-0090 We’re more than jiul a Oino store!

I ". upposites attract at art exhibit ARTISTS from page 9 only one I could get into. I really liked looking for anything he had done,” Sisson said. That appreciation is evident in several of his works, which feature twisted human features placed on otherworldly looking creatures. But Sisson’s art is enhanced by the use of found objects; it’s a prac tice that - despite the obvious differ , ences - makes him and Lauritzen Wright so similar. Broken chalkboards, playing cards, threadbare carpet and a piece of something called “rhino liner” are used in both artists’ paintings. “We both like to work within the limitations of these objects that we find,” Lauritzen-Wright said. “You can let what you’re using in your art guide you to the final product.” And as a result, Lauritzen Wright and Sisson blend together with the aid of assorted hunks of garbage. And although they may not share the artistic connection of past collaborating artists such as Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, that garbage is enough to keep them working togeth er - that and a little bit of mutual admiration. “I don’t like anybody else’s art, I just like what I do,” Sisson said, casu ally pointing at one of his paintings. And then he points at one of Lauritzen-Wright’s pieces. “But I do like his stuff.” 402-472-2588 402-472-1761 (FAX) dn@unl.edu 34 Nebraska Union P.O.
