Celebration team shares message with area churches By Jeff Otterman Guest Writer "A Doll's House", being performed at the Wallace Book of Life Theater this weekend, showcases the wonderful talent of the students from California Baptist College. This play, directed by Melodie Yocum and assisted by Michael Hoffman, brings to light the struggles women have had, and still might have dealing with gender related issues. The talents showed here include the incredible acting of Samantha Swindall who plays Nora Helmer, a subservient wife. Aaron Wooten plays her domineering husband Torvald Helmer with excitement.- Swindall and Wooten work very well as a team, showing their strengths as they pull the audience into the plot. The play is filled with humor, irony, and drama, constantly posing serious questions about relationships and marriage to the listening audience. The three act play written by Henrik Ibsen takes place at the Helmers' flat in Norway, 1886. Three other fine acting performances were turned in by Patrick Thompson, Melissa Lessard, and Frank Mihelich. Bit parts rarely get noticed, but the two actresses who played their parts well were Cid LeDuc and Nicole Lindsey. There were several children who dedicated their time to this production. They are Ryan Konecni, Allison Konecni, Casy Ensign, Amy Easton, Brittany Smith, and Byron Yocum. Aside from the acting and By Catherine Dicus-Collins Staff Writer The Celebration team is coming onto its tenth year of performing under the direction of Melodie Yocum. "We are off to a good start and a full schedule for the fall," said Yocum. The group performs nearly every weekend. Yocum is thrilled with the prospects of this coming year. "We have a fantastic cast, one of the highest energy ensembles that I have ever worked with." The cast includes Frank Mihelich, Mike Belcher, Chris Seay, Hannah Anderson, Jason Franklin, and Rebecca Woodall. Doug Yocum is the percussionist and handles rhythm and sound effects. "The group is just a lot of fun. They have fun while they are acting, and it shows. Audiences will react well to the script because the cast is enjoying themselves," said Yocum. Wendy Slack and Mary Stanley are the booking managers for the Celebration team. They do all of the office work like publicizing the team, receiving phone calls and making phone calls to churches and other facilities to arrange for the team to perform. Tom S. Long, the author of the script, has taken the Old Testament events that are normally passed over and has made these stories relevant to our lives, showing us that God can speak to us through them. "Even though this is a comedy, the message that we are presenting is to read your Bible," said Yocum. "Drama is a ministry and passion; it makes C.B.C. distinct. It's not geared for Hollywood, but for the ministry," said team member Frank Mihelich. This is Mihelich's first time with the Celebration team. There is a lot of work that goes into the production and he appreciates that everyone works hard. Mihelich's personal goal is "to raise the standard of Christian theater. To me, theater people in the church are still wondering if it's okay to act in the church." Mihelich feels that as a company, their goal is to "try to do something worthwhile that glorifies God." Rebecca Woodall has been on the Celebration team for a very short time. Her favorite scene is at the end where the whole message comes together. Her personal goal is "to be open for the Lord to use [her]." She enjoys the accountability in the group and the bonding that is occurring. Mike Belcher's reason for joining Celebration is that it was like a touring company. This is also Belcher's first year in Celebration. He enjoys the "comic friendship." "I feel like we are really becoming a family." His goal is that he "would like to improve [his] craft and know the Lord better." Everyone in the group believes that this play really reaches out to believers. One thing completely distinct that separates this play from other plays is that it does just that. The message of this play is to read your Bible. Believers need a message just as much as nonbelievers do, but do not normally receive one.
