The group uses an elaborate array of imaginative costumes and masks instead of the traditional white face makeup associated with mimes. "They put on quite an amusing show," said Wendy Oglesby, the Marketing Director for the Koger Center. The ensemble performs without music or words, relying on visual communication to translate humor and magical images. "When you watch them, you lose perspective and forget that they are people," Oglesby said. 'They make the creatures come alive, and that is the magic of Mummenschantz." The group has traveled around the world bringing their imaginative form of entertainment to enthusiastic audiences and critics. The Boston Globe said, "Mummenschantz is genuinely inventive, especially in agile acrobatics, which are so cleverly choreographed that you sometimes have trouble figuring out where the performers' legs and arms are under the yards and yards of unfurling fabric." The LA Times said about Mummenschantz, "They have never been matched and they should never be missed." Mummenschantz will perform tonight at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Koger Center. Tick world's ei By NICOLE SUBRIZI Staff Writer A college audience can expect an evening of beer, talk of sex and questions about religion and life at the Rainbow Bar as USC students take the stage in Chapin Community Theatre's production of Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grille. The play is an end of the world tale with a twist, Chapin Community Theatre Program Coordinator Marlene Payne said. Bruce Graham wrote the play, and Randall Hanna is directing it for the Chapin Theatre. USC students Susan Fulmer and Bob Lang are acting in the production. , The play is filled with unusual wnaiacitis WIIU MIUW uicy ai& guing to die in the next 24 hours because the world is ending, Lang said.

'The show is on many different levels, children will like it and adults will like it as well," Oglesby said. A "Just for Kids" demonstration will be held 45 minutes before each show. Student rush tickets will be id in Chi and claims he's God, he said. "The play is not about how people spend their last hours; it's about second chances more than it is about last chances," Payne said. Lang, who plays the character Roy in the production, earned his character during open auditions. "I already had a Roy in my head when I read the play," Lang said. Roy is an easy-going, gullible auto mechanic who is a regular at the bar, Lang said. "Roy knows he's going to die. He just wants to have a good time before he goes ? and a good time he does have. Roy is pretty much drunk throughout the whole thing," he said. Not all of the characters are regulars at the bar though, Lang said. Some are just passing through and just happen to be there, yet they all respond to the end of the world in different ways, he said.

"If students haven't seen a show at the Koger Center, they should definitely try Mummenschantz. It is well worth the investment of $5," Oglesby said. ctpin pia v thought-provoking things too. The play is offbeat and upbeat, hilarious and heavy," Payne said. "The Rainbow Bar might well have been called the Last Chance Saloon. Last chance for a drink. Last chance for a friend. Last chance for love. Last chance, period," she said. Lang said he is excited about the upcoming production, and he thinks the audience will be too. "It's a story that I think would appeal to a college crowd. The script is incredible, and it's very well plotted. It's a good play to come see," he said. Performances are tonight and Saturday and April 18-20 at 8 p.m. at the Chapin Complex (exit 91 on 1-26 to Spartanburg). Tickets are $6 for adults and $4.50 for stu. dents.
