Coffee house gets face-lift Flags at half mast world wide

Cabrini student's take initiative in giving theater and coffee house a new look that is much overdue.

It has taken years for something to get done, and now is the time. The Red Cloud Coffeehouse has finally decided to change. Actually, the students that perform in the coffee house decided to make a change.

The last time the coffee house had undergone any kind of renovations was about six years ago. It was then that the coffee house got its name. Although it would be hard to tell why it was called a coffee house upon entering the room, there is a reason behind the name. Originally the area had large fish-netting that draped over the center of the coffee house. It was that net , which looked like a red cloud, that helped the coffee house get its name.

According to Neal Newman, the director of the Red Cloud Coffeehouse, "The students were getting bored with the same old design, they were ready for a change."

Newman said it is about time that the coffee house got a new design, one was in great need.

The students that participate in the theater activities have taken it upon themselves to oversee all the changes.

"Gary Rupacz, has taken it all to him- self with the help of some of the other actors and students here at Cabrini, to be in charge of the renovations," Newman said.

As for what the coffee house will look like when it re-opens, Newman said that they are trying to do a few things with the entire layout of the room.

"We decided that it was important to rebuild the stage, so that it is bigger and sturdier for the actors to perform on. We also wanted to make sure that we had plenty of room for some of the bigger plays that we hope to have in the years to come," Newman said.

As for the new plays that will be performed, scheduled for next year's plays are Shakespeare's, "Romeo and Juliet" and "Suburbia."

What Newman really hopes to get accomplished is making the coffee house more comfortable for the audience to watch the performances.

As for when it will open, Newman expects that the coffee house will open by May 1. He hopes to have the first performance on May 3, with the advanced acting class performing the last scenes of their plays.

Newman wants to remind the public that the coffee house is for the people and if anybody wishes to use it, they should contact him at (610)902-8510.
