University, Experimental theatre companies plan for season
By Brent Batty
\
"Badges,whatbadges?Idon't
have to show you no stinking
badges!" That phrase, immortal¬
ized in the Humphrey Bogart
movie Treasure of die Sierra
Madre," is the title of the first
University Theatre Company
production this production.
This semester contains three
UTC plays and one Experimen¬
tal Theatre Company play, in- more of a sense of the depart-
cluding a Pulitzer Prize-winning ment fully embracing the issue
justtwoweekswith"IDon'tHave
to Show You No Stinking
Badges!" written by Luis Valdez.
The play is directed by Thomas
Whit-Ellis, who heads the CSU,
Fresno's Black Theatre Program.
"Badges," is the first main
stage Latmo-centered production
in the university's history, which
Ellis is excited about. .
"Main stage is kind of tanta¬
mount to 'finally arriving/ or
drama and a unique version of
Shakespeare's "A Midsummer
Night's Dream."
Thel994-95 season starts in
and finally institutionalizing the
effort," said Ellis.
The play contains cultural top¬
ics and feelings that Ellis com¬
pares to me black community.
"The play is kind of a collabo¬
ration between two cultures,
which in California tend to be
radically separated...Latino and
black. This is an effort to kind of
nullify or make that separation
less of a separation/'Ellis said of
his own reaction to the play.
The play, focusing on a
middle-aged Chieano couple
who've achieved financial suc¬
cess by playing Hollywood ste¬
reotypes, is a comedy and satire.
Theplay goes through many
stylistic changes, including .a
dream-like sequence, a natural¬
istic setting and a situation-com¬
edy sequence that will take the.
audience on a roUercoaster of
experiences. The play runs from
Oct 7 through Oct 16.
Pulitzer Prize winning
"Crimes of the Heart" written
by Bern Henley and directed by
Terry Miller, is the second pro¬
duction of the season.
The three sisters in the play
deal with%eeply painful issues
in their lives, including suicide,
spousal battery, alcoholism and
lack of love, but the play is sur¬
prisingly hilarious.
"The fatf that universal prob-
lems are explored in a very touch¬
ing way and yet the whole thing
:^\
Accepted at
more
than you were^
fe
is so humorous and you laugh
through it is extremely appeal¬
ing," said Miller. "There are only
six characters in the play and
they are extremely vividly
drawn, I dunk every one of them
would be a dream for an actor to
play."
Miller said that one reason
why he chose to work on theplay
now was that he felt that there
are a lot of actors at CSU, Fresno
now who can do ah excellent job
with it
"I want the audience to feel
for the characters, think about

Those of you who have seen
the movie, "Natural Bom Kill¬
ers/' have noticed the music that
s to intensify the mood and
creative im¬
pact in which
Oliver Stone
strongly ma¬
nipulates in the film.
Produced by Trent Reznor of
Nine Inch Nails, the soundrack
includes artists ranging from L7/
to Dr. Dre and the Dogg Pound.
Reznor took the music from the
movie and came up with an ar¬
rangement of songs representing '
the intensity and violent imagery
of die film.
"Natural Bom Killers," is more
than another movie soundtrack,
it features various, soundbytes •
and dialog from die movie.,
"Reznor tapped right into Stone's
graphic realization of Ouentin
Tarantino's violent story," said
SteveHochmanoftheLA.Tunes.
Nine Inch Nails fans will be
glad to know that the soundtrack
contains two of their previously
recorded songs, "A WarmPlace,"
"Something J Can Never Have,"
and a new song recorded exclu¬
sively for the soundtrack, titled
"Bum."
Other artists who provide pre¬
viously unreleased tracks include
Bob Dylan, "You Belong To Me,"
and the Dogg Pound, who con¬
tributed "What Would You Do?"
From country to rap,this
soundtrack contains a collage of
musical styles. Some of them
include Patsy Cline 's ."Back In
Baby's Anns," Jane Addiction's
"Sex b Violent" Peter Grapnel's
"Taboo," and Dr. Die's "The Day
The N iggaz Took Over."
"Natural Bom Killers," is a
powerful, exorbitant, yet distinc¬
tive soun track.
