Shakespeare group to perform ‘Heniy V’
by Kamille Bostick
The Gamecock
The S.C. Shakespeare Company will
present “Henry V” Friday at Finlay Park.
In keeping with its commitment to
provide state residents with delightful
Shakespeare tales and the entertainment
and escape of the theater, the company
will once again bring the script to the
stage under the direction of Linda Khoury.
“Henry V” is a tale about courage and
the ability of the human spirit to over
come any obstacle.
Shakespeare captures the struggles
that the young king, thrust upon the throne
at a young age, must face in order to be
come a competent leader who can make
difficult decisions and earn the loyalty of
his subjects.
Henry’s story is one for the history
books and for literature as he led his army
to one of the most stunning and unex
pected victories ever.
Staged at the Finlay Park Ampithe
atre, where natural surroundings and sets
meet, this performance of Henry V will
be unique.
The production features the classi
cally-trained members of the Shakespeare
Company, who have practiced and per
fected their skills in internationally-ac
claimed arenas, as well as seasoned ac
tors from the Columbia area.
The cast includes Scott Blanks in the
title role, Thomas Dalton as the chorus,
Gene Aimone as the Dauphin, Jayce
Trontsness as Falstaf, Joyceln Sanders
as Exeter, Houston McMillion as King
Charles of France, Richard Purday as
Llewelyn, Michael Hart as Westmore
land, Greg Maillol as Buigundy and Shan
non Helton as Katherine.
Joining the director and the cast in
the presentation are scenic designer El
lis Pryce-Jones from the University of
Nevada and fight choreographer Evan
Parry from the College of Charleston.
The company will be performing
James Goldman’s “The Lion in Winter”
this December.
Show dates for Henry V are Oct. 13
15,17-18 and 20-21. All shows are free,
but a $2 donation is suggested.

pop bands on the bill to have some
thing for everyone.”
Concert fans won’t have to wait
long between band intervals since there
will be two stages set up side-by-side
in the center field.
“The only wait period people will
have to endure will be the DJ thank
ing the last band and introducing the
next band,” Oomens said.
Wavefest started in 1990 as part of
a concert effort by Jimmy Buffet to
raise money after Hurricane Hugo
stormed through the Lowcountry,
Oomens said. The annual concert
day was either free or priced low for
the crowds, which became a financial
burden for the radio station in 1997,
when the crowds didn’t cover the cost
of the festival.
“We lost money the last two years
we had Wavefest, which dried up our
budget for 1998, and we couldn’t do
it in 1999 since we were being bought
by another company,” Oomens said.
“We covered our charities, but it set
us back and we didn’t know if
Charleston wanted a Wavefest any
more.”
Instead of donating ticket proceeds
to a specific charity, the city will do
nate parking profits to charities, in
cluding Big Brother and Big Sister.
Sponsors for Wavefest include Sticky
Fingers Restaurant, Budweiser, Carta,
SunCom, The Post and Courier, Cat’s
Music, Player’s Place and Comcast.
Tickets for Wave Fest are $24 in
advance at all Suncom locations or call
(888) 202-ETIX. Tickets can also be
purchased the day of the show at the
gates for $28. The River Dogs Stadi
um gates will open at 3 p.m.

songs, such as their love ballad “Felt
Like a Fool,” which evoked a melodi
ous, rich mixture of instruments and
voices.
The band also appealed to fans by
performing a noted rendition of the
Counting Crows’ song “Rain King,”
although Spencer didn’t have the same
deep sound and ability of changing pitch
as Adam Duritz.
Most of the songs were pleasing to
the ear and capable of an aesthetical
ly pleasing musical symmetry, but they
started to blend together, a problem
for many alternative pop rock bands.
“They’re good for an outdoor event
like Five After Five, but they aren’t
really unique because they sound
like another Matchbox 20 band,” ad
vertising senior Ellen Robinson said.
“But they’re definitely a step forward
for Columbia as far as getting more lo
cal bands out to play.”
Spencer said their main concern is
to promote their CD, which was re
leased in May, and play throughout the
Southeast, from Virginia to Florida.
“We’ve only officially been Blind
ing Sol since May, so our priority is
getting our new music out there to the
public and just using this new image,”
Spencer said.
Except for Joal, all the members
are alumni of USC. Blinding Sol will
play in Columbia Oct. 28 at Gillian’s
as part of a Halloween bash.
