time for intermission C

ongratulations! You’ve made it through the first month of the semester. It may not feel like much of a victory though as the number of paper assignments you have are probably increasing, and you feel like you might suffocate under the piles of trash you can’t or won’t take out because you’re juggling work and classes. We’re right there with you, which is why we’re forcing ourselves to take a few deep breaths and a 15-minute intermission.

With University Theatre’s production of “CARRIE the Musical” starting up this weekend, now is the perfect time to take some leisure breaks with the arts. Read about how the “CARRIE” actors balance their own personalities with their characters’ dispositions (p. 6).

Stemming from the start of the theater

season, this issue of ESCAPE is mostly dedicated to the arts. Take some time to check out some new albums coming up this month (p. 4), or experience live performances from your fellow students with the Union Programming Board’s Rap Battle (p. 8).

For those of you who will be paying more attention college football this weekend than the fine arts, we’ve got something for you, too. We’d argue that sports strategy in itself is an art form, so we’ve included a look at how the Mountaineers plan to play against the Sooners this Saturday (p. 5).

Give yourself a brief intermission this semester because Act II is where the action really gets going.

fall for new music As the leaves hit the ground, so will these promising new albums Keaton Bell | Life & Arts Reporter

W

ith the changing seasons comes a whole new crop of albums, singles and artists fighting for your attention. This year’s collection of upcoming releases is looking to be just as eclectic and stellar as ever. You have hip-hop veterans, buzzing indie bands, pop divas trying to out-do one another and more — all in just two short months.

So turn off the radio’s 24/7 loop of “Fancy,” forget you ever had to listen to that god-awful “Rude!” song and try to imagine a world where “Turn Down For What” doesn’t exist. Because fall is here, and it’s hopefully going to save us from ever having to listen to “Anaconda” again.

9/22

alt-J, “This Is All”

All eyes are on the English indie-rock band as it retruns with its first album since its debut, “An Awesome Wave,” which wowed critics and gained the group a cultlike following.

Based on the first batch of new singles, particularly the electric “Left H a n d F r e e ,” i t doesn’t look like we have any need t o w o r r y ab ou t a sophomore slump.

9/22

Hozier, “Hozier”

Irish singer-songwriter Andrew HozierByrne’s songs read like poetry and sound like demented gospel tunes. I mean that as a high compliment because it has been some time since an artist has made the sounds of blues and gospel sound this fresh.

With an upcoming stint at Austin City Limits, look him up now so when he blows up here in the states, you’ll understand why.

9/23

Yelle, 9/30 “Completement Fou” France’s reigning pop princess has always remained an underground anoma l y h e re i n t h e states. With mega-producer Dr. Luke the man behind her upcoming album, could this be the year the electro-pop diva breaks through across the pond?

Lenny Kravitz, “Strut”

Now that Kravitz can take a break from his acting career (R.I.P. Cinna), he can get back to making the type of sweaty and primal rock music that made him a star in the first place. His first album in over three years, “Strut” has been touted as a return to the more ’70s-tinged rock Kravitz specialized making in the ’90s.

Lady Gaga and Tony 9/23 Bennett, “Cheek To Cheek” Gaga’s performance with Bennett on his 2011 album “Duets II” was a definite standout, so it’s no surprise the two decided to team up for an entire album comprised of jazz standards.

D e v i a t i n g f ro m her characteristic pop sound, Gaga has instead opted for authentic jazz recording vocals on tracks by the likes of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and more of the Great American Songwriters.

Prince, “Art Official 9/30 Age/Plectrumelectrum”

Pop music’s most influential freak has out-weirded himself once again with his upcoming release. Because just one album isn’t enough, Prince’s latest project is a solo album set to be released alongside a disc made with his new female band, 3rd Eye Girl.

Hey, if you had been making albums since 1978, you’d be looking for a way to shake things up, too.

SOONERS MOUNTAINEERS How does West Virginia’s coach expect his team to do against OU? brady vardeman | @bradyvardeman

L

ast time the Sooners and Mountaineers faced off in Morgantown, West Virginia, it was as if neither defense took the field all night.

Tavon Austin and the West Virginia team racked up 778 total yards, the most allowed by any Oklahoma defense in history. In the end, Landry Jones and his 554 yard, six touchdown performance saved the Sooners. Oklahoma won 50-49.

West Virginia entered this season as a question mark in the Big 12. However, the 25-point underdogs raised eyebrows across the league when they hung close with Alabama in their opener. Coach Dana Holgorsen said their tough, out-of-conference scheduling helps them prepare for

teams like Oklahoma.

“We consider our non-conference schedule as good as anyone in the country,” he said.

The Mountaineers narrowly escaped a late Maryland rally last week. Sophomore kicker Josh Lambert hit a 47-yard field goal as time expired to give West Virginia their second win of the season.

On the offensive side of the ball, Florida State-transfer Clint Trickett is under center for his second year. After some struggles last year, Holgorsen said a full off-season with the team has helped Trickett improve.

“Last year, he got to campus in August,” he said. “Going through camp, it was all new to him. He didn’t have a relationship

with the coaching staff or the players, which is tough especially for that position where you are put into a leadership role.”

Holgorsen said his quarterback’s relationship with the offensive line has improved team play because the lineman feel more responsibility to protect Trickett.

“The timing aspect when it comes to receivers is where it needs to be,” Holgorsen said. “The leadership ability is off the charts right now, too. He’s night and day from where he was a year ago.”

Against Maryland, Trickett finished 37for-49, 511 yards and four touchdowns.

The Mountaineers snapped the ball 110

times and will look to push the tempo similarly against Oklahoma, Holgorsen said.

“It is easy for us to run a lot of plays when we are getting first downs,” he said. “We want to push it a little bit. They want to push it. That is just the style of play in the Big 12.”

Holgorsen said Morgantown will be electric leading up to the game Saturday.

“It will be as good as any atmosphere in college football,” he said. “Our guys will be fired up for it. Our fanbase is excited. They will be going at it all day.”

The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday.

P

ig’s blood, religious extremes and supernatural abilities may be at the core of Stephen King’s 1974 novel-turned-musical CARRIE, but the heart of the story may not be far off from reality. Opening Friday night, University Theatre’s production of “CARRIE: The Musical” boasts an approach to the show’s heavy subject matter that will resonate with a modern audience.

The story settles around an adolescent girl named Carrie White, played by musical theater senior Audra Bryant. Amid the troubles of a regular high school girl, Carrie discovers herself to be far more unique than her judgmental peers and emotionally abusive mother may suggest.

THE VILLAIN: MARGARET WHITE E

veryone has at least heard about the name Carrie, the girl who got covered in blood at prom,” Nancy Ross, musical theater junior, said.

Ross will be seen on stage as Margaret White, Carrie’s overbearing mother. After watching Betty Buckley’s performance as Margaret White in the 1976 movie version of CARRIE, Ross was inspired by how eerie the character was on film. She let this drive her preparation for the role.

“She’s terrifying, but subtle,” Ross said. “I really started to think about how I, Nancy Ross, could step into that role.”

But outside the bounds of scripted lines and stage direction, rules are limited. Ross said when it comes to preparing for a role, creative boundaries don’t really exist. Ross even researched past cases of psychopathic moms to better understand the science behind the evil.

Both the villain and the answer to Carrie’s woes, Margaret is the epitome of a troubled parent with a dark past, ultimately “protecting” her daughter from the very dangers that once threatened her younger self.

Through preparing for her role, Ross came across the nationally known case of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five

“

children in their Houston home in 2001.

After reading about Yates and her troubled mental state, she found a lot of similarities between Margaret’s thought processes and Yates’. This led to a few key questions about her character’s motives.

“Why was she mentally disabled? Why, over time, did it’s a horror story the clock start ticking, tickin the most ing, until she finally fell apart? intimate way.”

This is what I’ve been focusing on with Margaret,” Ross said.

“Understanding what her devnancy ross, musical ils are and identifying those, but also figuring out how she works, theater junior like we all do, to suppress those inner demons. She’s a very real person with a lot of problems.”

With the help of extensive research and guest director Jonathan Beck Reed, Ross explored the many signs of

THE LEAD: CARRIE WHITE I

Margaret.

“Jonathan really gave me the artistic freedom to go where I wanted to with Margaret, with his guidance of course,” she said. “But Margaret is a tricky one,” she said.

Ross said she has worked to make Margaret someone we can relate to, even at such an extreme level.

Through the emotional highs and lows, the show will prove to be heavy and attention grabbing, which tends to be exhausting for the actors.

“Because it’s such a heavy role, I have to shake it off after the show,” Ross said. “To separate the person from the character and the person from the show — that is important with roles that are as dark as this one.”

But the true meaning of the show comes in a much more realistic dose. Ultimately, Ross said, this is a story about a girl being bullied, which is a lot easier to relate to everyday life.

Ross said this message can be heard in the last song, leaving the audience with the question: “What does it take to be kind?”

“It’s a horror story in the most intimate way,” she said.

don’t do so well with scary movies,” said Audra Bryant, musical theatre senior. So she read Stephen King’s book instead, to get a feel for the internal thoughts of her role, Carrie White.

“I really wanted to get what Stephen King was trying to communicate through the character,” she said. “We have the ability to apply our own interpretations, but in reality it comes down to the girl in his book.”

Annotating the text as a student would for an English class, Bryant took notes on Carrie’s feelings and actions as described by King. She said this technique helped her get inside Carrie’s head, truly immersing herself in her role.

Not to mention the help from her father, a psychologist specializing in children and teens. Bryant said he read the book, too, offering expert advice and a new take on the reality of the story.

“Carrie is just a normal person in tragic circumstances,” she said.

Understanding the foundations of character development drives the show, and each rehearsal, to new levels of intensity and depth. Bryant said things come together piece by piece, and each new layer discovered during the preparation process is just as important as the one before.

“The music comes from a real place,” she said. “You don’t just break out into song just to break out into song.”

Tickets are available for purchase in advance at the OU Fine Arts Box Office in the Catlett Music Center, by phone at 405-3254101 or online at theatre.ou.edu.

The cast and their director have worked to make the story as relatable and as intimate as possible by focusing on making the unconventional, believable.

And with the performance nestled in the black box theater, better known as the Weitzenhoffer Theatre, the audience has a choice of three possible perspectives to watch the story unfold.

Bryant said this setting lends itself to instant satisfaction — seeing the facial expressions of the audience and hearing their gasps and reactions to the scenes before them.

“You know you’re impacting the audience because they’re watching you,” Bryant said. “But in this space you can see it and you can feel it, and that’s why we do what we do. We want to give people the opportunity to see things and to experience things.”

Though Carrie and Margaret may seem ruthless and evil, Bryant said the characters have more to them then what you see on the surface, something Reed encouraged them to think about.

“Ultimately, you never know what’s going on with somebody. I think it’s so easy for us to write things off, but there’s more than what you see and what you think you know,” Bryant said. “[The audience] will go into it knowing it’s a thriller — this crazy story with blood and death — but these characters are real people.”

THE DIRECTOR: JONATHAN BECK REED W

ith one character development exercise at a time, Jonathan Beck Reed built actor inspiration. Reed, a local actor and previous visiting professor for the musical theater department, powered the musical as the cast’s guest director.

Internationally recognized for his countless acting, directing and designing roles, Reed has been both on screen and on stage, landing him a spot on OCU’s Drama Wall of Fame in 2013.

With hopes to collaborate with Paul Christman, OU Musical Theatre department head, the two decided CARRIE would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

“This one just worked out,” Reed said. “And I’m thankful it did.”

Reed said his experience as a working actor still helps him we’ve taken a understand the acting process in a unique way, allowing him naturalistic to guide the cast toward realizapproach, and it ing their full potential.

We’ve taken a naturalistic approach, and it seems to be paying off,” Beck said.

Though the cheesy 1980s language and finding the right concoction of “pig’s blood” that wouldn’t stain Bryant’s blonde hair are a few of the things the cast had to work through, Reed said working with the cast has been a terrific experience.

“I am blessed with a wonderful, focused, passionate and gifted cast who always walk through the door ready to give the best they have to give,” he said. “It’s been encouraging and heartening to watch the high level of commitment that Ross, Bryant and all of the CARRIE cast has poured into this project.”

Through audience experience comes enlightenment, and Reed said the message here is more modern than it may feel.

“My take on ‘CARRIE: The Musical,’ is that it’s an indictment on the choices we make and, a cautionary reminder to be mindful of how you treat others less fortunate,” Reed said.
