Reichek '00's adaptation of "Dangerous Liaisons," referring tb both of its amoral main char- acters equally. However though his characters would agree, it is Reichek, the play's writer" and director, who pointed out the art inherent in seduc- tion. • He should know. His "Dangerous Liaisons" is qll about seduction. The plot is an intricate web of ^exual one-upmanship, emotional games, revenge, Ijnd deception. Sarah Merteuil (Jennifer Worden '01) uses her body and mind to her full advantage £rt the real life game of hearts, while Stephan Valmont (Noah Charney '02), can seduce any woman, but likes his conquests well earned. Sarah and Stephan, former lovers, have not seen each other in months but keep in touch via elo- quent and flirtatious letters, each updating the other on their conquests and current projects. The play is framed with their correspondence and much of the action is motivated by the information, and more importantly, challenges their letters con- tain. The play begins when Sarah is rejected by Auguste Gercourt (Chad Creelman '01), her lover de jour, for the younger and virginal Cecile Volanges (Tanya Cramoy '02). Sarah instantly writes to Stephen, requesting that he seduce Cecile the "rosebud," therefore ruining her reputation and that of Auguste, now Cecile's finacee. Stephan replies that Cecile "would be on her back at the first compliment." He rejects the project Artist: J ohn Linnell for its lack of challenge and tells his correspondent of the interest he has taken in Melissa Tourvel Title: Stat e Songs (Eliza Kittredge '02), a married woman of high Label: Rounder moral principles. He not only vows to "have this woman" but to "carry her off from the very god she adores" in order to add to his "greater glory." Sarah Rating: 5 Challenges Stephan to do just that and offers herself as a reward if he succeeds. If yon are familiar with the name Jolui Linnell, chances are you are a Meanwhile, Cecile is upset because she has hurt fan of They Might Be Giants.

To most people, these three names represent tracks 7,8, arid 12 of their "One Hit Wonders of the 90's" CD. However, for most Colby students, this list represents the only major live acts that have ventured up to Maine in the last few years. Colby is rated as one the best liberal arts colleges in America, yet year after year we host a "who's who" of some the worst bands even known to inhabit Billboard Music's top 100. Every year the rumors fly over who the next "big act" is going to be. Dave Matthews. Bob Dylan. James Brown. All are always listed as people that we "almost got," yet time and time again, some washed-up hip-hop or rock group eventually rears it ugly head in the Alfond Auditorium. This tradition needs to stop. Instead of spending all of our SGA concert funds on a single show every year, we should be bringing up "up and com- ing" groups. Groups that will be the next "big thing," whose show tickets don't cost $15, and who are not bitter that their careers now reside in the trashcan. Phish, Dave Matthews, and Guster all came to Colby prior to hit- ting the top of the radio charts. Everyone knows of local bands in their hometown that are put on good shows and could be attracted to come to Colby for a small fraction of the cost of a big name act. SPB officials should make an effort to tap some of this local music knowledge and bring these bands up to campus. We understand that the Social Chair and the SPB officials are busy trying to solve the ongoing dilemma that is our sorial scene, but perhaps more shows like the one this weekend would help. Skavoovie is a popular and dynamic performer, but is not one who is in such high demand that it is impossible to get here. On the whole, students are much more likely to attend a free or reasonably-priced show featuring an act that can be relied on to put on a good performance than they are to shell out big bucks to hear one or two songs from a name band. Otis Day and the Knights' show last year was a good example of a great time that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Otis Day put on an amazing show, but it wouldn't have been nearly a success if we were charged $15 to get in. BUZZED Bring bands that will put on a good show and offer them for free or for by ftK just a couple of bucks. Thaf s how you get a successful concert. Memo to SPB: Take chances on novel events It was quite a scene outside the Spa Saturday night, with long lines of peo- ple awaiting entry into Euphoria. Rarely does any officially sanctioned cam- pus event generate such intense interest, and the reasons for Euphoria' suc- cess are clear: a) it was an original idea and b) it was essentially the only thing happening on campus that night. Those in SPB responsible for bankrolling student events at Colby should take both of these factors into account the Letters next time a student comes to them with an event idea they need funding for.
