Share on Facebook  | | Posted: 14 Oct 2013 06:17 PM PDT  Katrina Stringari as Elizabeth Proctor, LeAnn Gosmeyer as Abigail Williams, and Josh Nile as John Proctor Submitted article and photo The College of the Siskiyous Theatre Department's fall drama is The Crucible. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for best play, The Crucible is Arthur Miller's exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. It is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable about contemporary society. The story begins with a young farmer and his wife going to court to defend themselves from accusations of witchcraft from a young servant-girl. Greed, lust, class prejudice and fear all play a part in what follows. Miller wrote the play in the 1950s as an allegory to McCarthyism after he himself became victim of the preceding. The Crucible is mounted and taught throughout the world because as the New York Times describes, "it speaks to universal fears of social isolation and the unknown–fears especially present in a rapidly changing world, not to mention in the topsy-turvy social order of school." The play's theme resonates today as fears about terrorism have created a modern-day witch hunt. COS Theatre Department head director, Neil Carpentier-Alting, is excited to direct the large cast production. The Crucible is a play that is very important to Carpentier-Alting and he chose to focus on its universal themes with its design. Carpentier-Alting's own multi-level abstract set design is both an intriguing design as well as an elegant solution to the complex staging. Sharon Swingle's "all period-no period" costume design focuses on character and iconic styles that reference the political climate in the 1950s that the play emerged from. The Crucible is really meant to be an "actors play" meaning the simplified sets Miller envisioned puts all the focus on the actors. Carpentier-Alting said, "I was very fortunate to be able to cast the entire show with students. Crucible is a wonderful vehicle for our acting students—intense characters, meaty dialog, heightened dramatic tension. Many of these students are veteran performers and were ready for the challenge." Some of the scenes in The Crucible involve up to fourteen actors. Directors have two complex tasks: staging and directing. Carpentier-Alting had to first help actors map out their movements in a way that focused the audience's attention where it needed to be. Directing is a more subtle process that involves helping the actors delve into the text, make acting choices and exploring relationships between their character and others. Carpentier-Alting supports the rehearsals in this process by one to one meetings with each actor to help them fine tune their interpretations of each character. Performances will be held Friday and Saturday, October 25 and 26, and November 1 and 2 at 7:00 pm and Sunday, November 3 at 2:00 pm in the COS Kenneth Ford Theater. Tickets are $5 for students and seniors and $10 for general admission. For more information or to order tickets call or stop by the Weed Campus Institutional Advancement Office (530/ 938-5373).

A big, important word. It may not have many letters in it, but what it represents is huge. By Mallory Pappas So what is college? Expensive? Stressful? Exhausting? Freedom? Party-time? A path to your future? The answer is simple, it's all of the above. Depending on who you are, you may lean more toward party-time than stressful, but no matter what path you choose college is really what you make of it. For the first time in your life, you're the captain of your own ship. You get to steer yourself in whatever direction you choose. If you want an easy stress free life of partying, no problem. It's doable. If you want to spend hour upon hour of intensive, ruthless studying, you can do that too. It's a challenge, an opportunity to grow and for many like 2012 Weed High School graduate David Langston, it's an experience that trumps the high school experience. "It's way better than high school. College is where most of your life happens," Langston said. If you can trust the words of any college student, it is Langston, who in just one year of college has experienced a lifetime's worth of ups and downs in pursuit of his ultimate goal, acceptance into prestigious West Point Academy. The process to get into West Point is daunting to say the least. In order to even be considered as a possible student, you have to "apply for the chance to apply." This requires the applicant to obtain a candidate number, a nomination from either the Vice President of the United States, a U.S. Senator or U. S. Congressman. Plus, you need to also pass a physical exam, a medical exam, and a fitness exam. The process is spread out over the course of a year, so the candidate is required to pass each individual exam while maintaining a 4.0 GPA, and there is still no guarantee that after all of that you will be deemed West Point material. In his first full year of post-secondary education Langston spent one semester at Northwestern Preparatory before transferring to Vanguard University (Costa Mesa, Calif.). Despite the transfer, he made it all the way through to being invited for the interview and was considered a favorable candidate. However, before the interview his GPA dropped below a 4.0 and the interview was canceled. Langston said he joined the Vanguard track team to stay on par with the physical requirements for West Point, but his dedication to the track team proved to consume a healthy portion of his academic time, and as a result his grades dropped. "I lost sight of my goals. I let my grades drop," Langston said. After losing the shot at an interview that many people dream of, it would have been easy to put forth a new goal, but Langston did just the opposite by further dedicating himself to the same one. Forced to start from step one of the process he transferred to Greystone Preparatory School at Schreiner University and reorganized his life to fit his goals. "You have to learn from your mistakes and pick yourself back up," he said. "While you're out there experiencing the world it won't be all rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you will have your rough days and you have to learn from your mistakes." Langston is picking himself back up with a demanding schedule of quantitative economics while organizing intramural activities for the college. He said he sleeps just four hours a night right now, but despite the lack of sleep he is enjoying school and considering pursuing a double major. "You have to make yourself unique to be competitive towards your peers", Langston said. Langston made it through one of the most demanding college application processes, only to have lowered grades bring his dream to a halt. Despite this, he remains true to himself and dedicated to his goals. He offers this advice to all college bound students: "You need goals and positive peers and definitely inspiration. When applying to prospective colleges, 'senioritis' isn't an option because everything you do matters. Slacking off for a little bit can affect your future and what opportunities are made available to you. You will make mistakes, everyone does, but what's important is that you learn from your mistakes and use them to your advantage." When asked what Siskiyou County students can expect when they get to college, Langston said: "The nation has a higher standard than Siskiyou County so be prepared to come across challenges you have never faced. Do what it takes for you to be successful. No matter where you go to college or what you do, it's going to benefit you. The least you can do is go to college and graduate. It's more than just 'more school,' it's learning how to live life."
