Show Signpost Tuesday, September 23, 1986 IB Norwegian art drawn to WSC Tanja Schaffer Arts Entertainment Editor M i All the way from Norway come the drawings which art enthusiasts find pleasurable and inspirational. Norwegian art has produced a number of good graphic artists who deserve more attention from art patrons in other countries, said Lars Roar Langslet, minister of the Norwegian Ministry of Cultural and Scientific Affairs.On Monday, Sept. 22, these works went on display at the Weber State College Collett Art Gallery. WSC art curator, Thomas A. Leek, said the exhibition will provide a rare opportunity to see original drawings by eight outstanding, contemporary Norwegian graphic artists. These artists, which include Oscar Reynert Olsen, Hans Normann Dahl, Finn Graff, Roald Kyllingstad, Gosta Hammarlund, Kaare Espolin Johnson, Randi Monsen and Olay Mosebekk, are among the best graphic artists in Norway today and give a good idea of the country's rich traditions in this field. "The eight artists represented in this exhibition, together, reflect the current trend in the art of drawing in Norway," Professor Leek said. Those who are interested are invited to attend the exhibit which is scheduled for display until Oct. 24.

If so, now is the time to grab hold of the opportunity (the phone) and make an appointment to audition for the Weber State Theatre production of The Ice Wolf. Tryouts will be held this Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 24 and 25 at 3:30 p.m. in the Monson Theatre at the Val A. Browning Center, Auditions will be by appointment only. The Ice Wolf is the story of a young Eskimo girl who must struggle with the results of hate and prejudice. It is a tale based on an ancient Eskimo legend and shows how the evils of bigotry and ignorance can be overcome. The story combines fantasy and reality into a charming theater piece for the entire family. Like Dickens' A Christinas Carol, this presentation uses fantasy to teach a serious lesson in a story that encourages the warmth and spirit of the Christmas season. Directors are looking for five women and five men whose characters' ages range from 18-25. Six children (three boys and three girls) are also needed and must be 12-14 years old. Dr. T. Leonard Rowley, director of The Ice Wolf, said that one little girl with very light skin and hair is needed. He indicated that the rest can be any complexion, although dark skin and hair are preferable for this production. Weber State College students and actors from the surrounding areas are invited and encouraged to try out. Auditions for adults will be tomorrow, Sept. 24. Auditions for children will be Thursday, Sept. 25. Everyone who auditions is required to present a one to one-and-a-half minute, well-memorized scene or reading. Those who have a short musical or dance selection can present it, but it is not required. All people who try out should come dressed in clothing that will allow freedom of movement Daily rehearsals will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 beginning Sept. 29. "Many characters will not be involved in more than three or four rehearsals per week, until technical and dress rehearsals," said Rowley.
