November 23, 1987 CAMPUS CONNECTION PAGE 7 FOR.THE RECORDS: Al llSIDE STORY 01 WEST SIDE STORY

By: Jeff Radebaugh

Lima Campus Theatre pulled off a major musical event last summer, which, certainly (in my opinion) bears a belated mentioning. It may be impossible for this author (being a cast member) to give an objective critique of West Side fil2!Y. (a tragedy which is very closely related to Romeo fill!! Juliet; set in modern times and involving two rival gangs in New York City, but this author will do his best to disregard the emotional nature of the situation and relate an accurate account of the story behind West s.iik S!Qry. "The hardest thing the cast has to understand is the constant tension and release, the pent up emotions", said Dr. Robert Sedoris, the stage director as well as the musical director and conductor of the 22-piece orchestra. In a brief interview four months later Dr. Sedoris ad mitted that "we took a gamble." He explained that West Side fil2r.y is "one of the most complex musicals to put together: the music, the dialogue, the dancing and all of the artistic elements must integrate and achieve a balance, the cast is constantly telling the story with their bodies." He went on to say that the summer theatre production is always a major piece which takes a lot of hard word to -pull off correctly, and that it is necessary to choose major projects to draw in an audience. Sharon Eikenberry, who is artistic director for the Sidney Dance Company, choreographed the piece. She said the piece "requires the dancers to know jazz, ballet, and e,verything in between." She agreed with Sedoris that it is a t~tally 'integr·ated music piece. "Dancing moves the story as much as dialogue," she added. Indeed, in the original production, dancers were auditioned before actors. Eikenberry worked closely with Sedoris and the cast to acheive the integration. There is almost always a great deal of tension before A quintet performing "Tonight", one of the many any theatrical event, and Yilli ~ S!.Qry was certainly no exception.
