All mime It's Mime, oill MimeI The University of Michigan Mime Troupe Schorling Auditorium, School of Education 8 p.m., Thursday-Saturday, April 14-16 By Coleen Egan C 4 DON'T KNOW how to smoke," says junior Elaine Tracey, "Perry tells me I keep putting the wrong end in my mouth so I have to practice. It takes practice when you don't know how." No, Elaine is not taking an end-of-the- term crash course in smoking. As a member of The University Mime Troupe, she must learn to light up and puff convincingly without the use of cigarettes for one of the skits in the troupe's upcoming show, "It's Mime All Mime." Elaine is one of a 10-member ensem- ble, that acts without words under the direction of Perry Perrault. Founded in the fall of 1980, the Mime Troupe became a new means of expression for University students. 10 students, under- graduate as well as graduate, have been chosen for the group through auditions at the beginning of the school year. The audition process is challenging. "Perry gives you a scene, an object, or, an abstract word and you have to act it out," Elaine recalls from her fall 1982 audition. "You really have to use your imagination and be creative because he gives you obscure things. I had to act out the word reach. Now how do you act that out?" Obviously Elaine finally figured out how to do it. Students in the troupe have varying degrees of background in the area of mime. Although Elaine was ac- tively involved in a number of theatrical productions in high school, she had only "goofed around" with mime during the summer of 1982. Other members of the troupe have had several years experience including Perrault, a University graduate, who has toured the United States and Europe performing mime. He also teaches the illusionary art at Artworlds Center for the Creative Arts. "Perry can portray anything. He's amazing," says Elaine, "he has real control and he's really inspiring and helpful." After the group cooperatively decided to put on a spring show, ideas for pieces were tossed about. The troupe came up with one or two page scripts for each skit, discussing basic actions and movements. Perrault chose the actors for each piece, making a mental note number the total ap- pearances of each member. After they had mastered the basic role, Perrault encouraged individuals to add their own character to their roles. "He takes notes and later suggests ways to make a piece work," says Elaine, "But he gives us freedom to chose what we'd like to do."

Funny Sunday Sunday Funnies Michigan Theatre 8 p.m., Friday, April 8 By Jim Boyd IF YOU GREW up as a fairly well- adjusted child, most of your fond child- hood memories were probably not of the violent or general destruction- oriented type. Instead, you looked tor- ward to more mellow pleasures such as a spin on the Big Wheel or good Chips Ahoy cookies and milk. If you were literarily inclined, you also revelled in the Sunday Comics (or Funnies, depen- ding on which side of the Ohio river you hail from). The Sunday Funnies were big and colorful, and almost always humorous. Fear not, the pleasures of childhood may be retrieved on our hallowed cam- pus. The Sunday Funnies is the means to this end. The Funnies is Ann Arbor's very own comedy troupe, composed entirely of students. It all star- ted four years ago, probably in some dark room, with three guys who wanted to write comedy. The following year the University Activities Council decided to sponsor them, and its been roses ever since. Each term the group performs at least one dinner theater and one main show. The main show this term is tonight at the Michigan Theater. The format, leader Michael Jarema noted, is "unique in that we do all original 1 material, it is not like a play in that (a play) has been done before." The show is composed of comedy sketches and songs, ranging from vaudeville to satire, to human comedy. "We shy away from local or college comedy in order that we might reach a more universal audience," Jarema says. The troupe's aim, in a nutshell, is to produce high quality comedy that appeals to a large audience. One of the most unique features of this group is its emphasis on student involvement. On this point Jarema notes, "We're cer- tainly a different thing going on, the show is totally student acted, directed and written." The troupe recently played Eastern Michigan University so they should be primed and ready to laugh our argyles off. If you're sick of laughing at your roommate and/or bed partner, why not laugh at these people who want to be laughed at. Sunday comes but once a term, so don't miss it. After all Sundays are inevitably followed by Mondays; enjoy while you can. Meissa I { : t}fS "! t : HAIR SALON 219 E.
