Abelard and Heloise:
Daytime performances upcoming

Talking about “star-crossed lovers” seems a little out
of date in 1987, but Abelard and Heloise lived in the
12th century, and the story of their romance has
survived to this day. That story will be coming to
Capilano on October 20 and 27 when the Theatre
department presents “Abelard and Heloise” by
Ronald Duncan in two daytime performances.

Marvin Entz of the West Ender wrote of this play,
which is based on the actual letters written between
the two lovers: “The real movement of the play is
psychological and spiritual, and on these levels the
play is quite gripping, at times painfully so. The love
of Abelard and Heloise is a sad and burning wonder,
twisting and turning in frustration, longing, and
renunciation.”

Performances will be held from 12:45 to 2:00 in the
Studio Theatre, room R105, and admission is $4 for
adults; $3 for students and seniors.

Walking and running: Outdoor Recreation Students help out at events

Second year Outdoor Recreation students Larry
Seebeck, Wayne Sims and Janice Gossen are
modelling t-shirts—on the either side we have the
shirt that will go to all participants who run in the17th
annual Seawall Run on November 1, and in the
middle we have a souvenir from the Coho Walk held

on September 13 on the North Shore.

The Outdoor Recreation students have been
involved in a number of local projects, and those two
events were among them. The second year
students helped organize the Coho Walk for the
GVRD in Capilano Canyon
Regional Park. This event,
which raised funds for
salmon enhancement
programs, attracted
approximately 2,000 people.
Meanwhile, the first year
students are helping with
the organization of the
Seawall Run, a 5.9 mile fun
run around Stanley Park
which is expected to attract
about 2,000 people. They
will also be acting as
Officials on the day of the
race. If you are interested
in participating in the fun
run, by the way, flyers are
available from the Outdoor
Recreation department in
C-1 portable.
