Three teams of book lovers com-
peted for the honor of representing
Lovell Middle School in a multi-
school reading competition called
the "Challenge of the Books" that
was held at the school on Thursday,
Dec. 5. The winning team will go
on to compete against other schools
at a regional challenge to be hosted
by Rocky Mountain Middle School
on Thursday, Dec. 12.
Students competing on teams
led by a captain selected books
from a list of 12 books that were
drawn from two lists recommend-
ed by the Wyoming Library As-
sociation. Each student read
two or three books and then the
team was challenged to identify
a book and to name its author af-
ter a quote was read to them by
contest organizers Gwen Walker
and Librarian Shelly Lohof. Team
members were allowed to collab-
orate during the game show like
competition.
Frank Minchow's team con-
sisting of Larissa Tippetts, Cory
Sessions, Anthony Ballard and
Jared Wilkerson defeated Meyja
McArthur's team of Justan Angal,
Mikel May, Alea Mayes and Ty-
lee Bassett in the first round, but
they were unseated by a team led
by Grace Edwards consisting of
Paige Bischoff, Andrea Monterde,
Lily Jones, Hunter Steenbakkers
and Emily Mangus.
The Edwards team imme-
diately rushed to the library to
check out more books from the
list in anticipation of the next
challenge level. The contest is
designed for students who love
to read and is meant to encour.
age reading, comprehension and
friendly competition.
The newly established
Wild West Players will in-
augurate an ongoing com-
munity theatre program in
P6well with improvisation-
al performances Friday and
Saturday, Dec. 13 and 14.
The shows begin at 8 p.m.
both nights in the Nelson
Performing Arts Center
Auditorium at Northwest
College.
"We started the Wild
West Players this fall," di-
rector Fred Ebert said,
"with the notion of estab-
lishing a community the-
atre troupe that can en-
dure. With Northwest
College as a cornerstone,
we can explore a variety of
theatre forms while build-
ing and maintaining a sol-
id core of community mem-
bers, young and old, who
enjoy working the stage."
Ebert said the Decem-
ber performances are the
result of one of those explo-
rations -- an improvisation
workshop.
"When it comes to the-
atre," Ebert said, "improv
is the hardest form to learn,
let alone to master."
Unlike most theatrical
presentations, the actors
have no prepared lines to
deliver in what is usually
a very controlled situation.
Instead, they are totally de-
pendent on the audience to
drive the performance.
The Wild West cast
members will set up a va-
riety of improvisational op-
portunities ranging from
singing to Wikipedia en-
tries and unusual circus
acts, but audience mem-
bers will determine the top-
ics and situational condi-
tions of each act.
Props figure promi-
nently in many of the skits,
and political topics are
showcased, as well. In one
set-up, audience members
will draw character names
out of a hat to assign im-
provisers their role to play
at a political after-election
celebration.
"Since this is such a new
presentational form for our
cast members," Ebert said,
"we're also looking for test
audiences Wednesday and
Thursday, Dec. 11 and 12,
to help us work on our im-
prov skills. If anyone is in-
terested in being a victim,
or make that a guest, on
the preview evenings, show
up at the door at 7:55 p.m."
The Wild West cast fea-
tures the improvisation-
al talents of Carter Reed
of Cody; Matthew Dil-
lon of Greybull; Bobble
Brown, James Hooper and
Meryk McArthur of Lovell;
and Alex Flom, Madison
George, Josiah Hogan, Con-
nie Moore and Troy Hunt of
Powell.
Admission to both pre-
view and final performanc-
es is free, but canned food
donations will be accepted
at the door to distribute to
local food banks.
