"Westside Story" The classic tale of Roemo and Juliet sprang to renewed life when Broadway legend Jerome Robins converted the story musically within the context of contemporary New York City gangs and called it "West Side Story" The celebrated result received many Tony and Academy Awards, but perhaps per-haps more significant, "West Side Story" remains and clcrfrirallv rharopH niprp nf 0 musical theater with powerhouse power-house choreography, great humor and heart-wrenching emotion that have made it more popular today than in the 40 years since its introduction. intro-duction.

As a work that changed the face of musical theater forever, "West Side Story" focuses on the ability of love to thrive in the most difficult of circumstances with the most compelling forces against it. The tragic consequences conse-quences of intolerance unfold amid gang violence when little more than the color of one's skin determines who is loved and who is hated. It remains a timeless tale that shows no signs of aging, according to director Rob-inne Rob-inne Booth of Springville. Booth believes that, besides be-sides the talent of her cast, two things will distinguish this version. "We have phenomenal phe-nomenal choreography from Tiffany Lovell, and because I wanted the energy she's put into the dance numbers to be seamless, I've designed a set that requires not set changes. There are not breaks (except intermission) and the pace is entertaining and fast." The set is two levels, and features chain link fence and of course, SCERA-appropriate gang graffiti for the Jets and Sharks. Choreographer Lovell if from Los Angeles and trained with Britney Spears' famed choreographer. Locally, Local-ly, Tiffany taught at the Utah Academy of the Performing Arts. Six of the cast members recently traveled to New York City for dance and music auditions and are in the finals for "Movin' Out" a new Broadway show. "I mention this to show the level of performers I have in Orem," Booth says. "They are that good." She says she likes the diversity of "West Side Story" set amid a love story. "While the tragedy breaks my heart, the show has wit and comedy and heart. It's really an improvement over 'Romeo and Juliet.' I espe-i cially like the ballet with Jessica Giauque and Jaremy Hill where they enact the tragedy." Performing the lead roles Herald - July 30, 2003 are Brittni Bills and Maria, Tameria Stangaugh as Anita, Zack Wilson as Tony, Jaremy Jar-emy Hill as Bernardo and Todd Beagley as Riff.

Dear Editor: I'm not one to normally write in to the paper to voice my opinion, but after seeing the signs around town opposing oppos-ing the rec center, I feel something should be said. Yes, the proposed bond might mean a "lifetime tax." I ask you to look at your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Are they worth the said $4 to $5 per month? That's $48 to $60 . more per year! I hope no one will even have to consider an answer to that question. Believe me, I know what it's like living from pay check to pay check. My . utility bill is already outrageous. outra-geous. Paying more doesn't sound very appealing. However, How-ever, if it means giving the youth of Springville more options of things to do in this town, then I'm all for it. I have two little boys, and to tell you the truth, I'm scared to death to have them grow up. I'm sure that I"m not alone with my concerns. In today's society, our children chil-dren are bombarded every day with all kinds of temptations. tempta-tions. Whether it be stealing, drugs, violence, pornography, pornogra-phy, internet misuse, or even just being a couch potato.

I am saying it will give them more options, op-tions, and frankly, options are something Springville doesn't have much of. I know that raising children to withstand these temptations starts in the home. Eventually Eventual-ly though, they will go out on their own, and what are they going to do? Especially those kids who cannot drive yet. I sometimes feel that people don't realize what it's like to grow up in today's world. Things aren't like they used to be. Things have changed since I graduated in 1997. I've seen first-hand that even the best kids brought up by the best parents par-ents can get into trouble. Thinking back I can remember remem-ber saying to my friends "What is there to do in this town?" I wish that my friends and I had a little more choices back then. I feel that this a great opportunity opportu-nity for our children. I also feel that it is our responsibility responsibili-ty to give them all the opportunities oppor-tunities we can.
