Mummenschantz, which
means "game of chance," isn't a
typical mime act.
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

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

'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.

"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.
'There's a lot of humor in this
thing, but there are a lot of

Oglesby encourages students
to attend Mummenschantz.
"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.

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
