Show 10A The Salt Lake Tribune Saturday, November J, l')84 WT-at- s the country Criss-cro- ss Happening Today Holly, Ronnie and friends "sing for our lives in S.L. By Nancy Melich Tribune Staff Writer the They had been country "Singing for Our Lives," when the politically energetic fourcriss-crossin- g some arrived Thursday night at the t'apitol Theatre - stop 28 on a tour. The conceit was a benefit for y KRCL Radio. Susan Freundlieh, an artist who infor the deaf, was the first to let us know which direction the evening would take. "We are here to oust Reagan," she said receiving a tumul- terprets tuous response in from agreement Concert Review the partisan, though not capacity audience. She stood alone on the stage, with only a piano and some speakers near by and signed while she spoke "There are 34 million deaf and hearing impaired people in this country, whose energies and desires are often dictated by others. We would like to do something about that. Her graceful body danced to the sounds of Ferron's Shadows on a Dime," her hands constantly "talking." She stopped and spoke about her feelings on being Jewish at her uneasiness when Israel invaded Lebanon She recited and snnulataneously signed an anti-wa- r poem, posing a series of "What ifs to a hall that grew increasingly silent as this remarkable artist struck a sensitive note concerning world peace. She put hand to heart in a gesture of thank you for .he warm welcome and then turned to greet her traveling companions, pianist Jonn Bucchhino, and the headliners themselves, singers Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert. The crowd applauded long and loud before one note had been struck Then Ms. Near, the clear-voiceprotest singer of the 70s and 80ss and Ms Gilbert, the contralto-voice- d protest singer of the 40s and 50s, let loose in a tribute to humanity that lasted two hours but seemed like only minutes. With the playfully expressive Buc- d chino creating magic at the piano and Ms. Freundlieh signing from across the stage, the soul sisters led us into a variety of issues. First there was the tribute to Harriet Tubman, a leader of the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape to the North during the Civil War years. "Last night I dreamed I was in slavery, emphasized Ms. Near with all the conviction inherent in the words. Sorrow was the only sign, nothing around to ease my mind. And then Ms. Gilbert joined in, "Come on up, I got a lifeline, leaving no doubt that anyone who grabbed hold would find a safe route. The singing stopped long enough for both women to talk casually, as if sitting around a kitchen table, to those who had come to gain a little hope in an election year which the pollsters say has already been decided. "Lets see, said Ms. Near, were boycotting lettuce and grapes again and then there are the folks in Ohio who are boycotting Campbells prod ucts and the people dov.n south who tell us to stay away from Coca Cola. So you all might want to watch for those things." The fine old Woody Guthrie tune, Pastures of Plenty had the audience singing about the mighty hard road that poor hands had hoed and then bridging into the metaphoric love song concerning wide rivers that, are hard for my love and I to cross. Ms. Gilbert belted out The Small Business Blues," as well as a Tom Paxton song that pleaded for passage of the ERA. Then the woman who has been politically conscious for a number of years, came front and center to give some advice on how to vote Tuesday. I have seen them come and I have seen them go, and this one must go. There were extremely tender moments to be found when Ms. Near sang a cappella Sing to Me the Dream, a song she wrote with Chilean composer Jorge Coulon who has been banned from his country and f over-worke- d Makeover, an original musical comedy which opened Thursday at Kingsbury Hall takes this question to the stage and, though the answer is neither new nor profound, it provides look at d an enjoyable, and the fitness-craze- d eighties. The musical, an production by the Associated Students of the University of Utah, was written and directed by Mark Ogden, a graduate student in theater, with Brian Bentley as musical director. Frumpy Heroine The story is thus: boy with pygma-lio- n complex meets girl in laundromat and precedes to make our frumpy heroine into a dream. The transformation (a here and a lesson in little make-u- p how to give em what they want there) takes place in a flattery health spa where the clientele worship youth, beauty and a statue of Apollo in sunglasses. Despite the warnings of Bev, spa receptionist with heart of gold, Paul, light-hearte- gossip-columnis- the ts "makeover-king- , precedes with his plans to turn Agnes into one of his born again beauties, and soon Agnes is as slick and superficial as the best of the d. Agnes (now known as Aggie) supersedes mentor Pauls expectations and goes on to travel the world in search the election. JL SHE'S 22 VS HER PICTURE. 16. ALL HE WANTED IIE GOT WILAT of the ideal man, leaving no stone unturned. The ending, (surprise, surprise) finds Aggie back at the laundromat gazing into the eyes of the now sincere and enlightened Paul as the entire cast joins them in an inspirational number on accepting error in judgement and moving on. and her clear, powerful voice carried well over an orchestra that overpowered less dynamic voices. Other fine performances include Geoffrey Bennett and Shauna Lyman in the roles of Paul and Bev, with Gary Zaugg delightful in the role of surfer who Chad, a would rather surrender his hair lightner than be perceived as insecure.

The scenery, simple yet glitzy, was designed by Michael Kempner and set changes were smooth and subtle. Depiu: the basic plot and overuse of cliches, the play is a lot of fun, thanks to energetic performances and some great comic writing by Mark Ogden.

And everywhere there was a feeling of warmth and unity. Over and over the singers stressed that war is not the answer, and we had better "Watch Out, because he" may send in the Marines again. One particular lyric stood out above the rest: "Why do we kill the people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?
