PAUL GALLAHER / QC STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER The opening night of Brecht On Brecht was on Wednesday, Nov. 19. The play was written by George Tabori and directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Jennifer Holmes. As the story goes, on Oct. 30,1947, Bertolt Brecht was called in for questioning by the House Un- American Activities committee because he was suspected of communist propaganda. The play is a collage of Brecht's writings and it is an ensemble piece that is extremely fluid in style. As an epic theatre piece, the students of the Whittier College Theatre Department were able to synthesize the different elements not normally associated with typical theatre PHOTOS BY DUSTIN RAY / QC SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR to create an appealing and entertaining two hours. 12 QUAKER CAMPUS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2003 Bad Movies for Bad People Reviews of movies you haven't seen, and probably don't want to Courtney Carlton 'QC A&E Co-Editor You Uiiow, if someone fell Breakfast Club was released the into a barrel of toxic waste the same year (1985)—and that's likelihood of them surviving is where the similarities end.
