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. The play is a

"Without a doubt, this season is going to be
one of the best that Carolina has ever seen. We
are bringing five performances that have been nationally
recognized several times over," Shah
said.
The Cultural Series is an opportunity for
parents to see what USC has to offer for cultural
entertainment also. Shah said that many students
and the public do not know what is available in
the arts.
