Theatre Grand Valley Presents "Pippin"

GVSU's Theatre Grand Valley will present the musical "~ip­pin" as its spring production. The show, written by Roger Hirson and Stephen Schwartz and originally staged on Broad­way will play for five perfor­man~es in Grand Valley's Louis Armstrong Theatre.

curtain times will be at 8 p.m. on April 8, 9, 15, and 16. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 10. Advance reservations are not accepted and all seats will be sold at the door on performance nights. Ticket prices are $5 general admission, $3 for GVSU students, $2 for high_ ':'chool students and senior citizens, and $1 for children under 12.

Loosely based upon the story of King Charlemagne's son Pippin, the show takes a modern approach to the tale of a bo:ed young man who has everything but finds no satisfaction in life. He tries to "make it big" in the arenas of war, literature, sexual indulgence, political reform, religion, and country life--to find t~at true fulfillment can only arise from sincere commitment to other human beings.

Ken Tepper, known in the area for his work with shows at the Civic and Circle Theatres, the civic Ballet, and at Hope Col­lege choreographed the play. Wright Mccargar and Jean Gard­ner who have worked with shows at the Civic and Circle Thea­tres, handling the ausical production. Jill and Tom Hamilton, faculty artists at GVSU who have also done shows for the Actors Theatre, the circle Theatre, and others, are executing technical direc­tion and design.

Heading the cast of 18 per­formers will be Medwin Johnson in the title role. He recently played in •Jacques Brel• at the Civic Theatre. Dennis Crowely will perform the role of the Leading Player. Crowely

recently performed in •come Back Little Sheba" at the Ac­tors Theatre and has just re­turned to Grand Rapids from two seasons' professional work with Atlanta's Academy Theatre. Rob Thomasma will sing the role of King Charlemagne. Others in the cast include Jamie Beth Hinds as Fastrada, Susan Walker as Catherine, Mitch Master as Lewis, and 12 other actors who will portray more than 30 other characters.

"Pippin" is GVSU's first all­musical offering since 1980 when Ellis directed "Celebra­tion." "

GVSU Hosts Champion of the Rights of the Disabled

Rodger Kearns, a quadriple­gic will show his award-win­ning film "Looking Up" in Kirk­hof Center on Monday, April 4, at 7 p.m. Most noted for being outspoken on social attitudes about disability, Kearns has lectured at public schools, medical schools, and univer­sities throughout the country.

"Looking Up" takes an inti­mate look at his experiences during a typical day. He nar­rates the struggles of living with severe physical limita­tions and addresses two kinds of disability: physical dis­ability and the self imposed limitation he says •we all suffer." After the film, the audience will be invited to participate in a discussion of the deeper issues addressed in the film.

Kearns injured his spinal cord in an automobile accident in 1978 when he was 20 years old and was paralyzed from the chest down. He works as a radio news announcer in Port­land, Oregon where he lives with his wife and two daugh­ters. His visit to GVSU is sponsored by the Office of student Support Programs.
