Ofi o plays, que By CASSIE YANG Features editor Jazz, drama, comedy and dance are just a few of the arts offered by the Cultural Series. Students and the public are also given the chance to hear and see new age jazz, musicals and acoustics. The Cultural Series is organized by the Cultural Arts Committee of the Carolina Program Union. Each year, the series presents five nationally acclaimed shows ? generally two music shows, one Broadway musical/play, one off-Broadway play and one variety show with dance, puppets, acrobats, comedy and such. "We make every attempt to make each season unique and entertaining in it's own way. In the past we have brought such shows as Ray Charles, Evita, Branford Marsalis, Sophisticated Ladies, Michael Hedges/Liz Story/Montreux, The Second City, and The Jofrey Ballet," said Rajan Shah, chairperson of the Cultural Arts Committee. The five performances for the 1988 season are as follows: Greater Tuna ? October 20. Carolina Coliseum. Greater Tuna is a comical play that is said to be a satire of modern day conservatism in the South. It has received four stars by the New York Times. The comedy is an account of the residents of a small country town in Texas named Tuna. The true question is whether or not the characters in this play are fictitious. Queen Ida ? November 10. Carolina Coliseum. Queen Ida has been nominated for a Grammy three times and won in 1986. Ida plays true French Cajun music. She has performed all over the world with her eight-man zydeco band. She has performed at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. At each performance she brings people to their feet dancing; literally turning the Hall into a "dance floor." For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf ? February 1. Koger Center for the Performing Arts. The play is written about the trials and tribulations that occur between five sisters. Each sister shares in the love, hate, greed, pain, happiness, anger and anguish of the other.
