Call Stephanie at 663-1460. TICKETS BY PAMELA WARSHAY IF you're a fan of innovative dance or "new" music or just some avant garde (but not tacky) entertainment, look no further. The collaborative efforts of Iso and the Bobs will offer a different kind of performance to the Ann Arbor audience this weekend. Iso, a group of four dancers, describe themselves as "one moment exaggerated and crazy, the next ecological and metaphysical, childish and clever. Unclassifiable: they stand alone... they wink at painting. sculpture, video, animated cartoon, and at science fiction films." Iso obviously has the talent to "stand alone," yet they, choose to collaborate with another group to make their art form all that much better. That other group is The Bobs, a quartet of first class musicians, incorporate all types of music to form their vocal style. The Bobs are "funny, intricate, compelling a capella singing." Like Iso, the Bobs were successful artists on their own and realized the goodness that occur if they were to collaborate with Iso. A few years ago, the Bobs were invited to see Iso rative creativity (formerly called Momix) perform. Iso had heard an alb bum of the Bobs and thought they would enjoy seeing their dance concert. Having known little about dance, the Bobs accepted the invitation and wound up loving Momix. The mutual admiration society between the two: groups came to a head when they collaborated for the first time in July of 1987 at Lincoln Center's "seriduf fun" concert series. Ever since, this marriage has been a success. If your idea of entertainment is a movie or rock concert, this is your chance to see what else is hot in,, performance art. Don't divorce yourself from the. opportunity - Iso and the Bobs is a must-see show!

MISCELLANEOUS THE BAHAI FAITH Uniting The World One Heart at a Time BY DEBRA CHESNIN THE Ypsilanti Press isn't sure that they want to review the play. They are afraid their readers might be of- fended. It is the longest running off- Broadway comedy. This production is the first to appear outside of New York. The style of the play is not controversial; in fact it is campy and light-hearted. So why would the fine upstanding citizens of Ypsilanti be so shocked by reading a mention of the play while they drink their morning coffee? The problem is the play's ti- tle.Vampire Lesbians of Sodom has a slightly different ring than say, Grease, which surely offends no one but the women who plug dishwashing detergents on T.V. Performance Network is the only group in the conservative Midwest that has had the audacity to put on this play.Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and Sleeping Beauty or Coma are two plays by Charles Busch. Al- though they are not directly related, they are commonly performed as companion pieces, because their bizarrely humorous style and similar themes complement each other well. Sleeping Beauty or Coma is a take-off of the familiar fairy tale set in '60s London. Beauty is a would-be typist who enters into the mod fash- ion world, only to succumb to a bad acid trip that sends her into a coma, hence the title. She is awakened in the health-conscious '80s by a nutrition- ist who has been experimenting with llama enzymes. The nutritionist's name is - what else - Craig Prince. In this version of "Sleeping Beauty," as in the original, "of The problem is the play's title.Vampire Lesbians of Sodom has a slightly dif- ferent ring than say, Grease, which surely of- fends no one but the women who plug dish- washing detergents on T.V. course, everybody lives happily ever after in the end," describes producer Linda Kendall, who plays Miss Thick, the evil stepmother character. The ending of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom is equally as prosaic. Al- ror Picture Show." In true Rocky Horror form, the show is going to be performed at 11 p.m. in an effort to catch the late night crowd as well as to maximize the use of the theater. Performance Network's production of the Busch plays, which are very campy and light, is a change from their past productions, which "have been more dramatic with a heavy message," says Knox. But the plays do have the "socially relevant theme" which characterizes most of their pro- ductions. "Lesbians are as taboo as vam- pires. They are shunned from by society," explained Kendall. "By putting on this play, we are attempt- ing to laugh at that taboo." can't ignore her though the title does not exactly con- VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM jure visions of sugarplums and sun- and SLEEPING BEAUTY OR sets, the play is about the better hu- COMA will run at the Performance man values and the common need for Network, 408 W.

You'll ei- ther love her or wonder what the hell, everyone sees in this quirky folk artist. Find out on which side you stand Sunday night when she returns to Ann Arbor, after a two-year ab- sence, for two shows at The Ark. Ferron, whose name roughly translates to "iron" or "rust," draws much of her music from her working- class background. She left school at 15 to do everything - from waiting tables to factory work to driving aF cab. It has only been in the last ten years that she has seriously pursued making her living as a musician. Her reputation first grew by word-o mouth in the lesbian/feminist com= munity, but with the release of Tes timony in 1980 and Shadows on a Dime in 1984, both available through Redwood-Records, Ferron fi- nally received mainstream recogn- tion. Shadows rated a four-star rav from Rolling Stone and was listed on; many critics' top ten lists. . With her untamed voice and enig- matic songwriting, comparisons to Bob Dylan are inevitable. "Poor old Dylan," Ferron comments, "It seems like any songwriter that has a com- plete thought is compared to him." See Ferron, Page 8 The style of the play is "farcical, silly and a lot of fun," says Peter Knox, who plays two minor charac- ters.
