Now, on with the show!
FASS opens tonight at 8 in the Humanities Theatre.
(Fiat comedia, ruat coelum.) First of all, what's
FASS, besides being the annual production of
the FASS Theatre
Company? Official description:
FASS is an acronym for Faculty, Alumni, Staff and Students, and is a
group of people at the University of Waterloo that puts on an annual
musical-comedy show in early February of each year.
In addition to being a theatre company, FASS is also a social group,
bringing people from all parts of the university together throughout the
year.
And this year's show is "FASStic Surgery", described in turn as
"a musical comedy response to
ER,
Chicago Hope,
and
the medical
profession at large".
Tickets are $8 from the Humanities box office.
There are performances tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m.,
Friday at 7 and 10 p.m..
A play . . . about power
So of course it's called "Power Play", and described as "a 40-minute
drama created to raise awareness about harassment in the workplace. Of
special interest to anyone who has ever had a job!"
Denise Angove of UW's health services department produced it, in the
model of UW's highly successful "Single and Sexy". This term's production
of "Power Play" will hit the road next week, starring Joel Harris,
Nancy Forde, Rochelle Wilson and Roger Lemke.
The director is Mark McGrinder.
All performances are free; staff, students and faculty are welcome.
The schedule: Monday, February 5, at noon in the Notre Dame College
cafeteria, and at 5:45 p.m. in the Village II cafeteria. Tuesday, at 12 noon
in the Renison College cafeteria, and at 5:30 in the Village I red
cafeteria (followed by a round-table conversation in the great hall).
Wednesday, at 12 noon in the Conrad Grebel College cafeteria and at 5:15
in the St. Jerome's College cafeteria. Thursday, at 12 noon in the Math
and Computer "comfy lounge", and at 5:15 in the St. Paul's United
College cafeteria. Friday, at 12 noon in Needles Hall room 3004.
Coming tomorrow at Grebel
Music professor Carol Ann Weaver and doctoral student Carol Penner
present something special tomorrow in the "Faculty Forum" series at Conrad
Grebel College. It's "Quietly Landed: Anatomy of a Collaboration",
"a 90-minute visual and dramatic work that explores the
paradoxical private/public history of Mennonite and Anabaptist women,
heard through their own words". First produced last summer in Pennsylvania,
it's been seen once before in this area, and there will be public
productions at Grebel on March 22 and 23. Tomorrow's presentation,
at 12:30 p.m., is chiefly for people within Grebel.
And these items briefly
- Terence Young, parliamentary assistant to Ontario education
minister John Snobelen, will visit UW February 21 to meet with
faculty, staff and student leaders and university officials; he'll
also visit two nearby spinoff companies.
- The campus chapter of
Habitat
for Humanity says it'll be building a "shack" outside the
Student Life Centre next Tuesday, as a fund-raiser and publicity stunt
for a trip to Zanesville, Ohio, during reading week to help
with a work bee.
- My apologies to Art Key, manager of the
engineering machine shop. For a few hours yesterday,
the Daily Bulletin spelled his name as "Kay"; it has been corrected.
