Show Post from page 4 out a ring loss and ping-pong tournament using only his mouth), his wedding (to the mannequin head) and, finally, boot camp and war. In his finale, as "Private Zeno," Post (wearing a chef's attire that is adorned with angel wings, while pushing an entire cooking table topped with a tiny American flag) explores the life of an eccentric whose remarkable memory of political events over the last 40 years allows him to assimilate speeches and gestures of political figures. The character performs a number ot'juggling and balancing acts by using cooking utensils, as he keeps watch lor the alien invasion he believes is taking place. The continual roar of laughter by the audience and loud clapping after each performance was clearly an acclamation of the audience's appreciation of Post's combination of humor and insight into the human spirit. Angela Shelby, a Weber Slate University freshman, said she attended Post's show on a whim, and did not know what to expect. "For one thing, it was amazing," Shelby said. "And I liked the points he made and how he made them. Some of the points he made were so serious that he closed them in something so jovial." Robin Farr of Ogdcn said she receives tickets to every performance, but had arranged to receive more tickets to Post's performance for her children."It was fabulous, absolutely fabulous," Farr said. "If he ever conies again, I'll be here." Concerto from page 4 history in a small college maybe even WSU," Allied said. That doesn't mean he plans on giving up music, though. He still has goals to continue performing. "I'd like to someday work with a bass player and a drummer and play jazz combo gigs. I'd also like to perform concertos with a symphony," he said. Allied hasn't always wanted to be a musical history teacher. "I was going to be a seminary teacher, but you have to have a special gift to work with teenagers." ' Although born and raised in Utah, Allied learned a lot from the time he spent out ofthe country. For two years. Allied lived in Russia as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints. "There aren't very many pianos in Russia. The ones they do have are in pretty bad shape. I didn't get much opportunity to play," Allred said. At first, Allred worried two years without much practice wouldn't be good for his music. Luckily for him, that wasn't the case. "I seemed to be able to pick it up where I left off," Allred said. "It wasn't a detriment. In fact, I think I gained an appreciation for spiritual music that I hadn't had before." Allred will play the "Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2.". Concerto night is Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Shepherd Union Building. For tickets, call the Dee Events Center ticket office at 625-85(X) or 1-8(X)-WSU-TIKS. Tickets are $4.50 for adults and S3.50 for students and seniors.

Feb. 24. :0H pm Acoustic Rock Jake White Students combine for Up With People To See or Not By Debra Jandreau a&e editor-77e Signpost Chances rarely happen in the life of a college student to be come familiar with different a culture. If one is lucky, they might visit a different country for a short period of time. Luckily, Up With People increases those chances and introduces college students to a combination of cultures. The international cast of Up With People will perform their new hit musical "Roads" Monday and'Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Pecry's Egyptian Theater. Immediately following Tuesday's performance, cast members will interview for future cast members. There will also be an open house Tuesday from 2 to 5 p.m. at the theater. The spirit of growth is at the core of Up With People's show. The new show is a little different then what has regularly been done in the past. It's "Roads" propelling Up With People non-stop into the new century. "Roads" is the story of youth. Youth with hope and enthusiasm, coming together at a fork in the road and ponder- . ing the decisions that face the youth. From show opener "Ayiko" (Pull Together) to finale "Where the Roads Come Together," story and music-move through generations. The show is filled with overcoming topics that have applied throughout time. It features clashing economic and social interests, between student activists and developers, even between two student sweethearts who come from different worlds. .. It . v I V'1 AS f t;? Up With People in "Roads," a performance filled with culture. Aimed at youth, songs like "Reach Out" and "Rise" tackle the push and pull of differing values, opinions and rights. With "We Will Stand," the cast points to the power of ordinary people who come together at the grassroots level to create change. "What we're saying to people who see this show is 'You can make a difference,'" said Kathy Casey, Up With People event coordinator. The show reaches out to people of different ages, culture and means. Audience members can see themselves and their past not only in a drama, but also in song, as the cast leads them on a farewell musical tour ofthe 1900s. Throughout the performance, highlights include international songs and dances from Ireland, Mexico, Japan, India, and others. Although the performance has changed, regular fans will be taken back to the group's beginnings. As stage lights dim, a 30-year history of the group emerges on screen, showing Up With People in action in the communities they visit how they serve those they visit and turn the world into their classroom, learning by doing and by sharing of themselves. Shots of host-family stays and days working with teens in a youth center and students in the classroom show the offstage life of the performers and crystallize the meaning of Up With People. Up With People is the international learning program that provides personal and professional growth through the unique combination of world travel, performing arts and community service. More than 700 college-age students from 30-35 countries travel worldwide in five Up With People casts each year. Founded in 1965 and incorporated in 1968 as a.i independent, not-for-profit, educational organization, Up With People has visited 59 countries and has more than 1 7,500 alumni from more than 90 countries. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors, and $12 for adults. Tickets are available at all Ogdcn Tri-Marl locations.
