North Country Opera: A tradition returns
pacing. Be sure not to miss
the real live freakshow at the
end of side one.
The Unbecoming, a four
song EP, is the band's latest
and best release. "Mael-
strom" and "Black Nar-
cissus" are as degenerate as
the living hell these guys sing
about. "The Next Big Thing"
assaults you with anger and
"Stubborn Beast Flesh" puts
you on edge with its abrasive
chainsaw guitars. Suffice to
say this isn't the kind of stuff
you bring to the big volleyball
game down at the beach.
Born Without A Face sums
up their music best in
Freakshow's "Feed Your
Head:" Scream for mercy-
Beg for more.
-Danny Plotnick
By Chris Davis
Do you think that "yuppies" are
evil creatures from outer space?
Is "materialism" a naughty word
in your vocabulary? Do long
walks in the woods turn you on?
If you answered "yes" to one or
more of these questions, then
seeing North Country Opera
should be put at the top of your list
of things to do this weekend.
North Country Opera is a
modern musical by local
playwright and songwriter, Jay
Stielstra. The story centers upon
the character of Michael, played
by Michael Smith, who falls in
love while backpacking in the U.
P. He leavs love, though, to make
his fortune as a stockbroker in
Grosse Pointe. Finally, after fif-
teen years have passed, Michael
realizes his mistake and returns
to Grand Marais to find the love
he left. North Country Opera is a
basic love story in a modern and
local setting.
"The play is about making
choices about what's important in
your life," explains producer
Maureen Martin, who is cur -
rently attending the University
Business School. The production
provides students with an
opportunity to see a slice of
downtown Ann Arbor rather than
campus Ann Arbor," says Mar -
tin. "Everybody leaves feeling
good."
The company consists of many
people who came to Ann Arbor to
study and stayed to live. All have
extensive musical performance
backgrounds in the Ann Arbor
folk and country scene. One per -
former, Charlie Weaver has
even taken the show's message to
heart and now works full-time as
a river guide on the Manistee
River. Author Stielstra is
himself a native of northern
Michigan. Director Barbara
Stanley Kramer has combined
her New York theatrical ex -
perience with music director
Kevin Lynch's experience per-
forming in bands in and around
Ann Arobr. The result, says
Martin is an "amazingly fun
show."
Performances of North
Country Opera will be tonight and
Saturday at 8 p.m. at the
Performance Network, 408 W.
Washington. Admission will be
$6 for both nights. Tickets wil}
be available at the door and iT
advance from Herb David's an
the Old Town Tavern, both .
Liberty street. Previous pergk
formances have sold out, so it Is
highly recommended that tickets
be purchased in advance.

Now there's a programmable scien-
tific calculator that solves even the
most complex math, engineering
and science problems in a BASIC
way. The TI-74 BASICAIC.
Unlike most other programmable
calculators that require you to learn
a new, complicated system of key-
stroke commands -in effect, a new
has more calculating power than
comparably-priced programmables.
Your basic specs:
* Operates as a calculator or
BASIC computer
* 8K RAM expandable to 16K
RAM
" 70 built-in scientific functions
* COnticonal sftware carrridpes
And a variety of options, like soft-
ware cartridges, are available that
make it even more powerful and
convenient.
Stop by and see the TI-74
BASICALC for yourself. In basic
terms, what it really offers you is
a bargain.
