Project for Summer Student Theatre, Kresge Little Theatre, July 16, 17, 18.
By BARBARA MASI UDDEN BURSTS of free-flying energy in the form of actors inexplicably leaping up the aisles at you, pure ostreaks of color and line forming the scenery, wonderfully funny, spirited in- terpretations of acting, costuming, and music. Such a description could only fit The Project for Student Summer Theatre's production of "As You Like It. The choices made by director Andrew Borthwick-Leslie '87 were bizarre, crazed, but always extraordinarily original, and, in the final analysis, fitting perfectly within the political, sibling, sexual, and romantic rivalry themes of the play. Shakespeare plays his themes out upon his three central characters: kind, vir- tuous, youl-can't-help-but-love-him Orlan- do de Boys (Joshua D. Lubarr '87), younl- ger son of Sir Rowland; his coolly political eldest brother, Oliver de Boys (Scott Pol- lack '86), who, in his jealousy, will do any- thing to destroy Orlando; and too-clever Rosalinld (Andrea McGimsey '87), daugh- ter of the banished Duke, who is blindly in love with Orlalldo. In parallel to this sibling war, Duke Fer- dinand (Deborah Kuchnlir '89), in a politi- cal coup, drove his brother (Charlotte Kemp '86), from power and from, the court.

By BARBARA ROMAN
N A HIGH WA6VE of a successful album and tour, Boston's Scruffy the Cat sailed into the Channel last Friday night. Scruffy were their usual happy and excited selves, but they seemed more intense and together than ever. The crowd of about 1000 waited anx- iously after Scruffy's equipment was set on stage, hoping the band might begin play- ing before the 12:30 starting time posted on the wall. Boston has missed Scruffy. During the past month and a half. Scruffy has been on the road, and mean- while, their loyal fans have watched as their new album, "Tiny Days" (on Relativ- ity Records) has risen to number 10 on Rolling Stone's chart of top college al- bums. The show was a homecoming of sorts, and the band seemed flattered - and a bit surprised - at how many people showed up. Stephen Fredette, guitarist, vocalist, and unofficial "spokesman" for the group wel- comed the crowd, which answered with louder applause and shouts. Throughout the show, Fredette continued to address the audience in a friendly manner that re- minded one of a reunion of old friends.
