Rocky Horror... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 The costumes are appropriately garish, the shrieking matches the attire, and the dance moves are carefully grotesque. Ohara Des- champs lights up the stage as the soon to be not so innocent Janet. She embodiesthe conservative,shy newlywed perfectly and descends into an"awakened"nymphomaniac with ease.Her geekyhusbandBrad, played by Patrick Blute. is accept- ably powerless over the transforma- tion that his wife undergoes. His metamorphosis is less captivating than Deschamps' though still en- tertaining. The eye-catchingrole of the new- lyweds'transvestite host is played by Ted Vitale in a very flat bustier and well-fitted garters. Vitale adds comic relief as Dr.Frank N. Furter. He enters the debauched scene looking like Mr. Bean dressed as Fran Drescher from The Nanny and sounding like George C. Scott in Patton. He is quite funny and is especially strange when dressed for aformaldinnerasDorothyfrom The Wizard ofOz . TimMcCarthy adds apunk qual- ity to Riff Raff, a servant of our odd host (ess.) He is pumped up with energy and at times reminiscent of Johnny Lydon. His sister-or-is- that-lover Magenta is played by Heidi Crawley with gusto and with an infectious, deep-bellied laugh worthy of a patent. This duo is an enginethat keeps the showrunning strong. A five band located onstage cre- ates arough, rockabilly sound that borders on garage at times. Heavy amplification makes the sound periodicallytoo much for the small space, but "Rocky Horror " has never been a show for those who prefer quiet.Infact,thisproduction encourages the audience to get up and dance duringthe opening ofthe second act, and do they ever. The show employs masters of ceremonyZachary SoulePhilbrook and Adam Foster who, at the out- set, explain the rules of audience participation. In terms of throwing things at the stage, they advise, "A hot dog to the eye is not quite as funny as it sounds." These young men are kooky and crazy and add to the mayhem onstage. Rocky Horror isnot for everyone, but for those who enjoy this kind of entertainment, and you know who you are, HWT does the show justice. Harwich Winter Theatre presents Richard O'Brien's TheRockyHorrorShow(rated "PG- 15") Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. For tickets ($18 for adults,$16 for seniors and $12 for students with I.D.), call 508-432-2002.

Thurston , III, owner/director of Blue Heron Art Gallery, displays a bronze sculpture by Rosetta. CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 space, revealing the dynamic ocean and street scenes of Cyn- thia Guild, which are enlivened through her surface textures. I am amazed at the skill and sen- sitivity displayed in the elegantly sculpted portrait busts of Patricia Raney, who has been sculpting for a mere sixyears. Before I leave to visit Sandpiper Gallery,I pause before an ethereal landscape of Eric Albrecht's. I thank Vincent for his time and walk next door where the propri- etor Mary Houk is waiting for me. She is not as jovialas Vincent, and is accompanied by her grand- son who "is not feeling well," and has had to stay home from school. You can tell she is not convinced. As Mary and I begin talking, the computer game her grandson is playing begins to create a racket, which doesn't thrill her. A stern look and a few choice words rem- edy the situation. I look around and notice work by some of the women from 21 in Truro, and Mary makes sure to point out some of the more well-known artists, including Ron Kusens, who she says is the only pewter crafter on Cape Cod. The gallery is packed with art of all media and I find myself experi- encing sensory overload. I had hoped to catch a bite to eat at The Juice, but decide to wait and walk up the hill on Bank Street, where I discover the Well- fleet Glass Works. A recent addi- tion to Wellfleet's gallery offer- ings, the Glass Works sits incon- spicuously behind the exquisite stationery store of Jules Besch. I walk in to the small storefront and at first think that I am in the wrong building. I then realize that behind the sliding glass doors is Jason Robicheau, the in-house glass artisan who is busy hand crafting an object, his torch pro- jecting a searing yellow flame that reflects off the glass tubes that surround him. The cases display his many creations of glassjew- elry, as well as a variety of small- scale sculptural works. I ask if I can take a picture and after he cleans his studio and puts the dog outside, he obliges me. I plan my final stop. Despite the lateness of the season, the gar- dens in front of the Blue Heron Gallery are still abundant. Owner and director Roy Thurston greets me with a warm smile. The com- bination of his easygoing demean- or and the relaxed environment that pervades the light-filled gallery make this one of the more enjoyable viewing experiences. I am impressed by the breadth and quality of the collection, which includes numerous award- winning artists as well as emerg- ing talents in the contemporary art world. I feel as if I am being observed, and glance down to see one of Jerry Geier's many whimsi- cal sculptures that are perched throughout the gallery, looking up at me. There is no visual overload here; discreet gallery spaces are grouped so as to give a complete under- standing of an artist's body of work. I find myself drawn to the in- timate paintings of interiors in egg tempera by John Standish, and I recall Vermeer.The graceful alpha- bet nudes of Judith Onder provide an elegant counterpoint to the bold and dynamic bronze sculp- tures of Rosetta. Michael Kahn's photographic portraits of boats have an almost spiritual quality to them, and the bewitching charcoal and watercolors of Steven Graber stop me in my tracks. There is so much to take in. I want to kayak down Duck Creek in the morning, explore the galleries by day, stroll down by the wharf at dusk, and buy children's books at Abiyoyo. Life slows down in Wellfleet once the summer ends, and many of the smaller galleries have a limited schedule from October to May. So plan ahead -but do plan to visit. Wellfleet has much to offer and you shouldn't deprive yourself of the experience. Cape Rep opens a Red Box... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 Cape Rep has employed the expertise of cultural consultant Tsering Dorjee Bawa, who has several roles in the show and plays music onstage with other cast members. Dakota Dickerson ismesmerizingin the title role of Peter,lendingafrank emotionalqualitytotherole. Dickerson captures the audience with every frolic and pout. Peter'sfather Vladimir isplayed by Evan Jonigkeitwithfresh candorthat isanequalmatchfor his son. Elizabeth Clark is a serious, nagging mom, Alenka, who suffers a week of eating only potatoes in order to fund the purchase of paints for her son. Comic relief is provided in spades by Jessica Albon in the roles of a boy spirit, a Tibetan jingle bell boy, and, most humorously, Peter's cat. Allofthe cast members singBuddhist chants,play drums,gongsand otherinstruments,and act aspup- peteers. The shadow puppets playingout scenes on the scrim-like curtain at the back of the stage are a particular delight. A scene depicting the avalanche that takes down Vlaclimir's party is noteworthy for the artistry of the shadow puppets. It ishard to sumup allthat this showis.The script makesapoint oftheinterconnectedness ofallthings, and the cast delivers thispoint both inaction and in words. The audience leaves touched, warmed and fulfilled. At $25aseat,with an8p.m.curtain,it seems less accessible to children than it should be. Only one delighted child sat in the almost packed house of a recent performance, exclaiming after the show, "Iloved iti" However, it is more than worth the price of admission, for both children and adults.
