Show Citizen, Free Press, Review - Wed., April 23, 1997 - Page 16 Orem Institute of Religion starts year long expansion The Orem Institute of Religion is growing, both literally and figuratively, to meet the needs of an increasing number of young peo- ple. Work has already begun on an expansion project that will nearly double the size of the building to 90,000 square feet. The building was vacated on Apr. 18; staff and students are expected to be back in the usable portion of the building on Aug. 15. During the summer, the Institute program will meet in seminary buildings adjacent to Mountain View High School, Lakeridge Junior High School and the Alpine Life and Learning Center at UVSC. After work is completed in approximately one year, the building will be better able to accommo date the student stake and 12 student wards, as well as the offices of institute teachers. In addition to 11 new classrooms, double the current number, offices and chapel space will also be added. A cultural hall, larger that traditional LDS stake centers, will offer expandable space to accommodate large conferences, firesides, devotionals and social activities. Other new amenities in the building will include a women's lounge, a baptismal font, student study lounge, two new serving areas, an addition to the library, and modern wall coverings. With the First Presidency's charge to include all young people ages 18 to 30 in institute programs, the institute also offers "extended institute" classes to more than 900 Free Estimates Benchmark -- other degrees. "Graduation is an important and exciting time for students as they are recognized for educational achievements and make an important step for their futures," UVSC President Kerry D. Romesburg said. students in 58 locations throughout Utah, Juab and Wasatch Counties. The enhanced building will provide a central place for activities related to those programs as well. Jan Felix of Lehi serves as director of the Orem Institute of Religion. Other local faculty mem Four convocations are also slated for April 25. Convocations for the School of Business and the School of Science and Health are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. in the McKay Events Center and the Activity Center, respectively. Convocations for the School of Comedy turns tables on scam artists By RUSS DALY Things are not always what they seem, especially in the comedy currently in production by the Pleasant Grove Players. In "Cheating Cheaters," two apparent nuns, played by Kaye Pead and Angela Walker as Angelica and Theresa, respectively, are really two clever scam artists siblings but not "sisters" making a quick buck from their habits. Pead, who has been seen as a supporting actress in several PG Players productions, takes charge in the lead role of "Mother Superior" Angelica. Her transformation into civilian life in the second act is a little harder to follow, perhaps because she is so believable in the earlier characteriza tion. Walker, who is making her stage debut in this production, is a delight to watch as she easily switches from hysterical crying to blissful naivete. "Why is it that anything that's good for me never tastes good, looks good or feels good," she says in one scene. Mark Ford plays Benjamin, who drops in on the pair and discovers their secret, and Dennis Purdie plays Bozo the bogus policeman, who ends up cutting in on the action as well. "In this civilized society, you gotta have a license to be a public nuisance," he tells Sister Theresa as he threatens to turn her in, but after he joins the group in dishonesty says, "I don't know about turn ing legal, it's too respectable." In the second act, Kori Chesnut, who plays Tania, the niece of the two sisters, enters the scene as she returns from Europe. The stutter she creates ("Girls who stutter rarely get pregnant") is well articulated. One of the surprising highlights of the show comes from an actor with virtually no lines Gertrude the dog, who plays Hippocrates the dog. The audience might think that she has been specially trained for the production. "Cheating Cheaters" is directed by Keith Christeson and continues Friday, Saturday and Monday, April 25, 26 and 28 at 7 p.m. in the Pleasant Grove Library auditorium (downstairs), 30 E. Center. Creepy weekend makes fun comedy By KATHERINE SCHROEPPEL If you like mystery comedies, then you'll want to make plans to visit Valley Center Playhouse to see the current production, "Finders Creepers." Set in the late forties, "Finders Creepers" is about two young friends, Hercules Nelson and Wilbur Maxwell (played by Kirt Dalebout and David Belliston), who arrive to spend the weekend with Hercules' aunt and uncle and his two cousins. They are shocked to discover that Here's uncle's new business is that of a mortician and his house is the mortuary. What promises to be a creepy weekend turns into a hair raising one for the boys when the one body in the mortuary refuses to stay put on his marble slab. Directed by Amber Sorensen, this production is a lot of fun to watch. Both Dalebout and Belliston are wonderful as the two scared kids who set out to solve the mystery. They are full of energy and have great comic timing. Bob and Mary Nelson, the aunt and uncle, are played by seasoned actors Amber Sorensen and her husband Joe. Coke Bates plays the dead guy, Mr. Quigley, who has an appetite. He also seems perfectly cast and it Siding Vinyl StablllzeR til .air1"- Construction has started on the renovation of the Orem LDS Institute of Religion on the campus of Utah Valley State College.
