Orleans for a year.," McKern said.

"We have great jazz players on the faculty so we decided to put on aMardi Gras party every year down at Ten Depot."

This year's Ten Depot Street Fat Tuesday show is set for "8 to late" the evening of Feb. 17. The band completes its annual run of concerts &om approximately 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 21atAnthony Lakes Mountain Resort.

'This music is a nice departure &om the guitar-based bands I grew up playing in," McKern said. "In New Orleans jazz, there is much more of a focus on the horns and piano. Fortunately, this

band has great piano players and a rock-solid horn section."

The Syncopators will play old favorites such as "Iko Iko" and "Down at the Mardi Gras" as well many other tunes.

What Wordelman likes best is the music is interactive with the audience.

'There's a lot of singing back and forthbetween the band and the audience. People that hear it just love it," he said.

Wordelman said he believes the New Orleans LoveFest will be "a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day, a great event if you want to attend with a larger group of &iends.

"We just hope for a fun, interactive crowd," he said.'The event has a chance to be one of the most exciting, fun events for the university. The food and music will be great."

In &eshman yearatEastern Oregon University, like a lot of students, Rachel Bentz was look-

ing for a job.

What shefound was lifechanging. The student who came to EOU to be an actress became the McKenzie Theatre technician running lights and sound for shows.

Now the junior &om John Day with a theater major emphasizing stage management is preparing for one ofher biggest shows yet,'Then & Now: Replay."The show runs Friday and Saturday at Eastern Oregon University.

The high-energy concert will coverthe greatesthitsofthelast 50 years, &om The Beatles through today's contemporary sounds.

The Chamber Choir, 45th Parallel Ensemble and music department are working together on the production.

'There are a lot of chorus members and solos," Bentz said.

"It's important to get the lights in balance so they look cool but don't distract &om the performances."

Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and 4p.m.and 8 p.m. Saturday in McKenzie Theatre in Loso Hall.

Tickets are $8foradults,$7for students and seniors, or$6 for groups of 10 or more.

Advance ticket purchase is recommended. Outlets are Red Cross Drug Store, Looking Glass Books and the EOU Bookstore.

Making things more complicated, Bentz will perform as a member of the choir at the begin-

Later, she will sneak away to the booth, upstairs, to run spotlights and special efFects. That involves going to the catwalk high above the McKenzie Theatre seats to run the light board.

As light designer for the show, she has to pay close attention to detail. She listens to the music and watches the choreography to see what lighting can fit where.

Bentz can't plug it into the computer and mail it in. With the human element involved, shows go at dif Ferent speeds.

'The scene could run long or short," Bentz said."It cannot be automated. You can't account for factors you can't control."

Bentz provides lights for all sorts of shows. For a theater show, Bentz will talk to the director about what theywant and then make a plan.

Bentz is excited about where her career in theater is headed, even if she won't see her name of the m arquee.

She came to aturning point during spring term ofher &eshman year when she decided acting was not for her and started to lookatotherareasoftheater.

'Thereare a lotofaspectsof theater that people don't realize, &om directing and house manag-

ing to lights and costume design," she said."And that's just a start."

Now Bentz hopes to make a careeras alightdesigner orasa stage manager.

Bentz feels ready for the challenge.

Shehas gained much experience working at McKenzie Theatre to be quick on her feet and make adjustments fast.

"People probably don't realize all the groups that use the theater, &om sportsgroups to m ath and science, ballets, the dental college," she said."It's myjob to make sure whatever they're doing that they can be heard and can be seen."

Career opportunities abound, Bentz said.

The club will run the concessions, serve as ushers and more.

Club members are also going to perform along with the song"99 Luk Balloons," doing part of their magic show. That will involve everything &om hydrogen balloons and things that glow to things that change colors and things that go on fir equickly and goout.
