LEAR!

Cap Theatre is proud to announce that they
are presenting ''Lear''--a contemporary
staging of Shakespeare's ''King Lear'’.
They describe it this way: ''Using the

power and purpose of the original text, we

draw from both present and future for the
costumes and set design. The violence and
cruelty portrayed in ''Lear'' are timeless,
as are the multiple conflicts the
characters are thrown into.'' Some of the
non-traditional elements in the production
are an on stage chorus, mask, and the
character of Lear being portrayed Bunraku

style (where two actors represent Lear,
one as the body and one as the voice and
spirit). ''Lear'' will be at Presentation
House March 17-19 and 22-26 and the

tickets cost $5 at the door, or $4 in
advance. There is also a group rate

available. All performances begin at 8:00
pm except for the March 22 show which

starts at 7:30. For reservations call
Presentation House at 986-1351.

Newlove at Cap

John Newlove, one of Canada's best known
poets, who is currently teaching at David
Thompson University, will be the next
person reading at the College. His reading
will take place Thursday March 31 at 8:00
in the Cafetheatre. Admission is free.

Management department, which has 55
students, had a total of 24 names on the
Dean's list of 136--in other words, 14%

challenge the other departments to beat
our total,'' they are crowing.
