The 1920s are roarin’ strong and Nathan
Detroit runs the oldest established, permanent,
floating crap game in New York City. Broadway’s
buzzing when all the high-rolling gamblers come
to NYC looking for action. Nathan is scrambling
to find a venue for his famed dice diversion, but
with the anal Lieutenant Brannigan breathing
down everyone’s necks, the pickings have grown
painfully slim. Their only option is the Biltmore
Garage, which will happily be at their disposal…
for a thousand bucks. Unfortunately, Nathan and
his goons just don’t have that kind of cash.
Enter Sky Masterson, a notorious gambler who
lives for the game. Desperate for cash, Nathan
bets Sky, an infamous lady-killer, that he can’t
take any woman Nathan choses to Havana.
Always ready for the thrill and confident in his
charm, Sky accepts. Eternally sly, Nathan chooses
prude Sarah Brown, the sergeant at the local
“Save A Soul” mission. Sky is devastated, but
refuses to admit defeat. Hilarity ensues as Sky
tries his best to enchant Miss Brown and Nathan’s
gang juggles through their quandary of games,
girls, and gangsters.
With the one-of-a-kind direction by Joe
Hernandez and assistant directing and first year
B.F.A Directing student, Peyton Glendenning,
Catawba is peeling back the layers of these
famous characters and giving audiences a glimpse
into the reality and grit of the 1920s on the brink
of the depression. Despite its iconic period
setting, this piece is relatable across time to
audience of all ages with its underlying messages
of fall in squalor and redemption through love.
Join us at Catawba College as our beloved melee
of characters chase, dance, march, gamble, and
even strip their way through the crazy streets off
Broadway and all the way down to Cuba in Frank
Loesser’s golden age musical Guys and Dolls in a
way you’ve never seen it before.
With tickets sold at $15 General Admission and
$13 for Non-Catawba Students and Senior
Citizens, Guys and Dolls is a solid bet for a great
night of entertainment. Get your tickets now by
calling the box office at (704) 637-4481 between
1:00pm and 5:00pm on week days or order online

The Honorable Carlton Terry
by Lauren Stacks, Sophomore
As Catawba closes its 2014-1015 season
with the golden-age hit Guys and Dolls, the
audience is greeted with a sea of familiar
faces filling the cast. However, one talented
individual sticks out as a stranger to most
Catawba students and faculty. Who is the
gentleman playing Arvide Abernathy? It is
none other than district court judge Carlton
Terry.

As the adopted son of a German Olympic
figure skater and a Navy oral surgeon, life
growing up in North Carolina was anything but
boring for Carlton. Even though his father spoke
English, while dad was away in Vietnam, Carlton
blossomed under his mother’s care. So much so
that his first words were in German.
Carlton achieved his undergraduate degree
in business management from Appalachian State.
Then after a gap year as an assistant hotel
manager in Munich, he earned his law degree at
Wake Forest University. While studying at WFU,
Carlton met his now wife, Wendy. The two were
married in 1998 and are now the proud parents
of three beautiful children.
But why would someone interested in law
continue an interest in the theatre arts? “Even
though I’m a huge introvert and very shy,”
Carlton confesses, “I discovered I really enjoyed
becoming someone else. Acting allows me to get
outside of my own skin, to be daring and creative
in a way that is not possible, sometimes, in real
life because of potential consequences. I’ve
always been a “rule follower,” but on stage, I
don’t have to be.”
When asked how he relates theatre to his
career in law, Carlton explains: “Theater is
telling stories. Being a trial lawyer is also about
telling stories, in a way. When arguing a case to
a jury, or a judge for that matter, a lawyer needs
to have presence, vocal tone, and clarity and
must present a consistent theme. The most
serious criminal cases usually involve a tragedy in
someone’s life. Theater has helped teach me and
allowed me to practice telling a story (in these
cases, real life stories) in a coherent and
appropriate manner. “On the other side of that coin is how my
experiences in the law have helped my acting. An actor is called upon to channel an experience,
a feeling into a creative endeavor. A character is
much more believable if the audience can see a
true portrayal of an emotion. Everything I have
seen and experienced in court and in life
has allowed me to recall a time when I’ve felt a
certain way, and recreate that on stage.”
An old pro in the arts, Carlton has been
active in the theatre for 35 years. In fact, Guys and
Dolls will be his 20th show. How did all this start?
Back in sixth grade, Carlton joined the drama
club because the girl he liked was a member. So
really, he was doin’ it for some doll! (ba-dum
cha!)
This isn’t the first time that Carlton has
had the opportunity to portray Brother
Abernathy either. At the age of fourteen he
graced the stage with a performance he now
describes as merely reciting lines and
following direction. Thirty years and three
kids later, Carlton can personally identify
with Arvide’s love and tenderness for Sarah.
He can picture Jean (Sarah) as one of his
own and feel the joy, the sorrow, and the
pain her character goes through, just as he
does for his own children.
Speaking of children, Catawba almost
had the brilliant opportunity to see Carlton
act side by side with his twelve-year-old
daughter Erika. It was only an unfortunate
cheerleading accident that stole young Miss
Terry away from our stage. However,
Carlton says she still helps him run lines.
In parting, Carlton encourages the
Catawba theatre students to cherish this
time when we have the freedom to explore
who we are and what we want to do. Take
advantage of every experience we can. Maybe not all of us will become TV or
Broadway stars, but some of us will. The
opportunities we have in College will not
exist later. Real life responsibilities have a
way of interfering. So while we can: Play!
Love! Learn!

2nd Annual NCTC Fundraiser!
On March 28, 2015, Catawba College’s
Blue Masque in conjunction with Lee Street
theatre held the second annual NCTC
Fundraiser! Beginning in the spring of 2014,
the Blue Masque wanted to bring their

into their space with open arms and was
ready to collaborate. After Catawba won the
2013 NCTC Award for Best College
Theatre Program and Lee Street theatre
won the NCTC Community Theatre Award
in the same year, the groups decided to work
together to plan an event and raise money
for the organization. The North Carolina
Theatre Conference is North Carolina’s
service organization that connects theatre
artists and organizations across the state.
NCTC provides opportunities for middle
school, high school, and college students,
theatre educators, as well as theatre
professionals through festivals, competitions,
conferences and job postings. Funds were
also donated to Lee Street theatre and
Catawba’s theatre club, The Blue Masque.

community involvement, the acts for the
evening were gathered from Catawba
College students, community performers,
and promos for upcoming shows in the area.
Justin Dionne, Managing Artistic Director of
Lee Street theatre, also brought in special
guest Dan Truhitte, the actor who portrayed
Rolfe in the 1965 film of The Sound of Music.

Wanda’s Visit From Forest Hill Made Robert De Niro Bent
to be King of America
by Morgan Summers, Junior
The One Act performances for this semester of Dr. Beth
Homan’s Directing II course consist of four challenging, but
outstanding, pieces.
Pen Chance, a senior and first time director, plans to tackle
an excerpt from Martin Sherman’s Bent. This is a story that revolves
around the persecution of homosexuals during the Holocaust. In
Berlin we meet Max, a promiscuous partier who has fallen into the
wrong company and is now on the run from the Gestapo with his
partner, Rudy. Performances by: Zach Dietz as MAX, Tyler Adams
as RUDY, George Glass as UNCLE FREDDIE, and Alex Thompson
as GRETA.
Morgan Summers, a junior and aspiring Blue Masque
Student Director for the 2015-2016 season, presents Christopher
Durang’s Wanda’s Visit. Throughout this one act, an unhappy married
couple experience the craziest 48 hours of their lives when an ex-high
school sweetheart comes to town and, boy, does she have some stories
for them! Performances by: Verity Elise Pryor-Harden as WANDA,
Caitlin Billings as MARSHA, Tyler Adams as JIM, Darius Williams
as the WAITOR, and Arnold Blohme with Chris Lange as the TWO
MEN.
Melissa Tarduno, a junior also hoping to direct a Blue
Masque Production next year, visits a Hotel Plaza in New York City
in Neil Simon’s A Visit From Forest Hill. It’s a nice day for a white
wedding but there’s only one problem, the bride is missing! Nora and
Roy Hubley rush to get their distraught daughter, Mimsey, out of the
bathroom and into the arms of her soon-to-be-husband, Borden,
without anyone finding out, no matter what the cost. Performances by:
Chaz Cable as ROY HUBLEY, Maddy Auchter as NORMA
HUBLEY, Zoe Grammer as MIMSEY HUBLEY, and Darius Williams
as BORDEN EISLER.
Finally, Matthew Ensley, a senior making his second directorial
debut, takes on Jason Katims’ Who Made Robert De Niro King of America.
In this production, a writer struggling to follow up her first book finds
envy in her husband’s amateur screenplay after her agent loves what she
reads. Performances by: Javaron Conyers as RED, Alyssa Middleton as
MAGGIE, and Rona Lyn Dizon as SAMANTHA.
There will be two chances to enjoy these spectacular pieces,
both taking place on Wednesday, May 6th, in the Florence Busby
Corriher Black Box Theatre. The first performance will begin promptly
at 7:30pm, followed by a second performance at 9:30pm. Be sure to
arrive with plenty of time to grab a seat because these One Acts are
expected to fill up fast! If you have any further questions concerning the
performances or the One Acts directing process, please feel free to
reach out to any of our amazing student directors.

Alumnus of the Month: David McCorkle ’63
I graduated from Catawba as a Drama Major in 1963. Last week on March
30, I received a Lifetime Achievement Award for my work as a social
worker and a Board Member for 17 years of Creative Alternatives of New
York. (My award was presented by my art collector and philanthropist
friend, Beth Rudin DeWoody. I shared the stage with Suzzanne Douglas,
actress and patron of the arts who received a Leadership Award for Arts
and Healing. Her presenter was the actress S. Epatha Merkerson.)
CANY provides drama group therapy services to 1000 children and adults
annually. Our mission is to empower people who have endured trauma to
rebuild their lives.
So how did I get from the Catawba stage to the Grand Hyatt Hotel stage
on forty second street fifty years later? I am a native North Carolinian and
came to Salisbury to study acting and get a college education. What I did
not realize back then was that I was not only learning acting and singing,
but I was healing myself through theater. My teen years were challenging
and I could have been a high risk adolescent had I not joined the choir at
Holy Comforter Church in Burlington and gotten cast in a high school
production of You Can’t Take It With You. It was at Catawba that I came to
realize that the problems in my life turned into possibilities as I acted and sang my way through at least
twelve productions and as many musical performances in those four years. In 2011, I came back to
Salisbury to recreate the role Ben in Death of A Salesman which I had played fifty years earlier. The Director
before and then was one of my favorite theater professors, Dr. Hoyt McCachren.
While my Catawba theater training led me to ten years on and off Broadway (Hello Dolly, The Apple Tree, Dames At Sea, Joan, A
Look at the Fifties, and many more), I also learned much more about ways to engage in other roles and situations. I received my
MSW from NYU in 1989 and have continued to use creativity through theater and music to help others find new ways to
overcome adversity and trauma through creative means.
I was introduced to CANY by another North Carolina and New York friend, Ellen Kealey. It was the work of CANY that
provided the perfect intersection for my passion for healing and helping through drama and music. For the last twenty six years,
I have been doing therapy and teaching trauma therapy across the world through the work of The Sanctuary Model. I learned
about this model from my noted psychiatrist friend , Sandra Bloom. We connected many years ago because she loves theater and
believes in the therapeutic power of drama therapy. Through the Institute, I have taught trauma informed care from Northern
Ireland, Scotland, Malta and all across America including North Carolina. Whether, I was acting in musical about basketball in
the Sixties or actively listening to a refugee in Malta this past summer, my confidence and ability goes right back to that stage in
the old Hedrick Administration Building. You never know what roles you will be asked to play!

Three Bone Theatre connected to community
THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON THE CHARLOTTE ARTS &
SCIENCE COUNCIL BLOG. THREE BONE THEATRE WAS FOUNDED BY ALUMNI ROBIN
TYNES (2011) AND CARMEN BARTLETT (2010).

A wishbone, a backbone and a
funny bone.
Reba McEntire fans—and
who isn’t?—will realize those
are the three things the country
singer and actress said you need
to succeed in life.
They’re also the three
things you need to make it as a
theater company, said Robin
Tynes, who co-founded the
aptly named Three Bone
Theatre.
“The idea is that we use
kind of the core values of each
of those bones to influence our
work,” Tynes said of the
Charlotte-based company.
“So the backbone is about

“It’s just a way that theater allows people

entertaining and still have some value necessarily walk through in real life and
because if it doesn’t then no one will watch.” connect with other people,” Tynes said.
The theater’s upcoming production, The “Charlotte has such a rich vibrant community
Yellow Boat by David Saar, exemplifies those and we wanted to make sure we were telling all
values. Based on the real life story of a child of those stories and connecting them back to a
born with congenital hemophilia and who local organization.”
For this production, Three Bone is

and courage of children and celebrates the and community group for a young boy in
role caregivers play in helping children with Salisbury with an inoperable brain stem tumor.
To further connect the local community to the

“The story lends itself to celebrating theme of the show, the theater applied for and
those people that we don’t celebrate that received a $2,622 Cultural Project Grant from
much and to bringing awareness to what the the Arts & Science Council (ASC) to present a
journey is for childhood illnesses is like for special performance of the play for families

organizations throughout its season. It does so by matching the themes of its productions productions at the NoDa venue UpStage, a
haven for independent theaters
in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. But
the theater needed a bigger
space so it could invite families
and caregivers from Ronald
McDonald House and Hemby
Children’s Hospital in
Charlotte.
“We can’t on a regular basis
afford to do a show in the
Duke, but we thought this was
something special and maybe
we can get some help with it,”
said executive director Becky
Schultz. “We are so excited that
t h i s w a s o u r fi r s t g r a n t
application and it was approved
and it’s something that we’re
going to be able to bring to
fruition.
“It’s a bit of a wish-dream.”
The production itself is huge step for the
three-year-old theater, said Tynes, who is
directing the play.
“It’s a more technical show from what we
usually do, it’s a bigger budget from what we
usually have and it’s a pretty big cast compared
to what we usually have,” she said. “It’s pretty
groundbreaking for us in a lot of ways.”
After the special performance for families and
caregivers at Duke Energy Theater on May 1,
the show will run May 8–9 and 15–17 at
Upstage.
“It’s a story about a child living and it’s as
hopeful and uplifting a story about a child
passing away can be,” Schultz said. “There
will be sad tears but there will also be happy
tears hopefully and you go home and hug your
family and take a little bit more joy in every
day of your life.”
