Shiloh Rules

SHILOH RULES, by Doris Baizley, is a comedy about Civil War re-enactors staging the bloody battle of Shiloh. The re-enactors gather on the actual battlefield in West Tennessee. Among them are Clara May Abbott (Carly Oliver), a hardcore Union nurse re-enactor and her young trainee, Meg (Nicole Arbino). Clara has won honors at past events and hungers for more. Her fierce rival is Cecilia Pettison (Samantha Calabrese), a hardcore Confederate refugee re-enactor. She is also aided by a trainee, LucyGale (Natalie Row). The trainees don't share the narrow obsession of their mentors; they're at Shiloh for the novelty, for academic credit and to meet guys. Another amusing character is the Widow Beckwith (Danielle Jorn), a concessionaire who's out to gather dollars from both sides. Another, Officer Wilson (Brittney Caldwell), is a U.S. Park Guard who likes peace and quiet and is not particularly interested in the Civil War. She will have her hands full trying to keep order. Terry Miller directs this University Theatre production opening October 31st running through November 8th.

WOMACK LECTURE TO FEATURE KRIST NOVOSELIC WITH "BLUEPRINT FOR A 21ST CENTURY DEMOCRACY"

Krist Novoselic was a founding member of the legendary rock band Nirvana. Along with bandmates Kurt Cobain and David Grohl, he helped to change the course of music history in 1992 when Nirvana snapped up Billboard magazine's number one spot with their highly acclaimed album Nevermind. The album went on to sell millions of copies around theworld. Nirvana opened the doors for a new generation of musicians and bands. It was a band with a conscience, and as a major label act they regularly played benefits--the first Rock For Choice show, a major concert in support of gay rights, and a legendary gig that raised money for the Balkan Women's Aid Fund.
After Nirvana, Novoselic went on to become one of rock music's most politically minded musicians. He has committed himself to numerous community projects and is now an influential political voice in Washington State. He is Chairman of Fairvote, an organiztion advocating election reforms that are revolutionizing our democracy.
Novoselic is the author of Of Grunge and Government--Let's Fix This Broken Democracy, which the New York Times' Review of Books said "is lucid, unpretentious and, as the architect Louis Sullivan once described the ideal of democracy, 'thrillingly sane.'" Novoselic currently lives in southwest Washington State, where he hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Coast Community Radio and writes a weekly column for the Seattle Weekly On-Line.
