"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" opens at New World Arts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOSHEN, Ind.�Edward Albee�s classic play, �Who�s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,� about the dangerous games of two married couples opens at New World Arts this Friday, March 5, at 8 p.m.

In the show, Martha and George host a new professor, Nick, and his wife, Honey, for an evening at their house, but the guests are soon embarrassed and enthralled as Martha and George�s scathing banter turns serious. As the evening progresses and alcohol is consumed, Honey and Nick begin to join in the battle where all must address their dark ghosts.

Aaron Nichols of Elkhart directs the show. Melissa Gard of South Bend and Kevin Egelsky of Elkhart play Martha and George, respectively. Christy Burgess and Scott Jackson, both of South Bend, play Honey and Nick.

Along with other themes, the show largely examines the idea of people�s public and private facades, and the unmasking of those.

�They play games,� Egelsky said, �and they play very dangerous games.�

Those games go beyond cards or sports, but into discussion about their true feelings and thoughts on others, risky territory in any relationship.

�It�s a study in humanity,� he said later.

Performances of �Who�s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?� are March 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general admission, and $8 for students and seniors.

Tickets are available in advance from Better World Books in downtown Goshen or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/producerevent/100823.

Opening night, this Friday, March 5, will include complimentary cocktails before the show.

New World Arts is located at 211 South Main Street, Goshen, IN 46526. Parking and the entrance are located off of 3rd. St.

"Frost/Nixon" at New World Arts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOSHEN, Ind.�President Nixon�s televised interviews with British journalist, David Frost, and the story behind them come to the stage as Peter Morgan�s �Frost/Nixon� at New World Arts in Goshen, opening Feb. 12.

In 1977, President Richard Nixon agreed to several interviews with David Frost, a British news reporter and comedian. While the unlikely duo formed a friendship off the set, they still battled on Frost�s show, Nixon listing all the good he�s done for the country and Frost trying to draw out what Nixon had given no other reporter: a confession.

Director Sam Yoder said the show reveals a different side of President Nixon often inaccessible to people who only know him through textbooks and Watergate history.

�You get to see Nixon on a redemptive journey,� Yoder said, adding that the interviews and eventual admission of involvement in Watergate were probably redemptive for more than the president alone.

�Maybe it was what was needed for healing, for the emotional healing of the nation. People really wanted to hear [an admission] from Nixon.�

Paul Hanft plays the part of President Richard Nixon in the show. Peter Sessions performs as David Frost and Geoffrey Owens plays Nixon�s aide, Jack Brennan.

Performances are Feb. 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. Opening night will include light refreshments as well.

Tickets are $8 for general admission and $5 for students and seniors. Buy tickets in advance at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/97629 or at Better World Books in downtown Goshen.

New World Arts is located at 211 South Main Street, Goshen, IN 46526. Parking and the entrance are located off of 3rd. St.

Jujitsu Workshop at New World Arts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jujitsu Master Offering Workshops at New World Arts

With over 20 years of experience, jujitsu black-belt Anthony Gouin will be teaching an 8-week series of workshops on a variety of martial arts at New World Arts, 211 South Main Street in downtown Goshen.

Through the workshop, Gouin will teach ground defense, boxing, proper and effective kicking techniques, Kempo, Aikido, Judo, knife, stick, and traditional Japanese Jujitsu.

Gouin has advanced rank in tia-kwan-do, aki-jitsu, and kosa-ryu jujitsu, and has taught aki-jitsu, and kosa-ryu jujitsu for five years. He also has the power to bestow rank up to a green belt in aki-jitsu and kosa-ryu jujitsu.

�What is unique about what I will be teaching,� Gouin said, �is that you can't learn it at any one place. You would literally have to take about six different arts separately and then learn how to fit them together either on your own, or in yet another class.�

Gouin said people should do jujitsu because they enjoy doing it, but that there are several health advantages.

�From what I have seen,� he said, �you will practice jujitsu only if you love it, love doing it, and love how it makes you feel. Now that being said, the side effects are increased strength, better cardio fitness, greater flexibility, and self-confidence. It's like getting a work out by accident.�

Eight spots are still available for the 2 to 3 p.m. sections, with several spots still available in the 3 to 4 p.m. class as well. Classes will run every Sunday at those times from Jan. 10 through Feb. 28. People must commit to the 8-week series, but can decide at the end of the 8-week series if they want to continue, or if another person can fill their spot in the class for a following series.

The 8-week series is $96 per person, but a $40 payment is required to reserve a spot. Contact Laura Gouin at lgouin@newworldarts.org to reserve a spot.
