Augusto Ballet to PresentNutcraker

The Augusta Ballet is
continuing a favorite
seasonal tradition with a
performance of “The
Nutcracker” Dec. 19-21 at
the Music Hall of Bc4l
Auditorium.
The will be two evening
and two matinee per
formances. Telephone
ticket orders are being
taken at the Civic Ballet
School, 733-5511. Office
hours are 10 a.m. to 6
p.m. Monday through
Friday.
This year marks the
Augusta Ballet Com
pany’s tenth season for
the holiday favorite and
the second season the
company has produced
the lavish production
entirely on its own. Each
year, the Augusta
Company’s director, Ron
Colton, enhances the
original Balanchine
choreography with new
variations and innovative
concepts to keep this
fantasy of romance and
wonder alive.
Tom Pazik,
nationally recognized
resident choreographer
with the highly acclaimed
Atlanta Ballet has
restaged the amusing
Harlequin and Columbine
variation performed by
the magical toys brought
to entertain the first act
party guests. Bet
Willingham and Jack
Yantis will portray these
new roles.
Pazik’s new and
fanciful choreography for
the second act diver
tissement called Tea will
again feature Bet
Willingham with Peter
Shorall as her adoring
partner.
Glenn Dufford,
soloist with the Joffrey
Ballet in New York City,
will again appear in the
Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo’s version of the
demanding Russian
Trepak staged especially
for the Augusta troupe
last season by Duncan
Noble, Assistant Dean of
Dance at the North
Carolina School of the
Arts. Augusta Ballet
Company’s Artistic
Director Colton per
formed this spectacular
variation as solist with
the Slavenska-Franklin
Company.
The Spanish or Hot
Chocolate divertissment
was also restaged by
Noble from the Ballet
Russe version, requiring
two females and one
male. Peter Shorall will
dance alternately with
Mary Battey, Susan
Garman, Jennifer
Haynes and Pam
Willingham.
The Marzipan dance
has been fashioned by
Noble as Little Bo Peep
with four lambs. Mary
Battey and Susan Gar
man will alternate as the
winsome Bo Peep.
Starring again in the
leading roles of the Sugar
Plum Fairy and her
Cavalier wilf be Zanne
Beaufort and Ron Jones,
both principal dancers
with the honor company.
The pair appeared earlier
this season to high
critical acclaim in the
company’s first
production of “Swan
Lake, Act II.” This
season’s “Nutcracker”
marks the fourth year of
their dramatic
collaboration in the
demanding classical
roles.
Renee Williams
makes her debut this
season in the ballerina
role of the Sugar Plum
Fairy. Well remembered
for her lyrical in
terpretation of the
Dewdrop in previous
seasons, Ms. Williams
will alternate the role
with Zanne Beaufort. Her
appearances in this
principal part mark a
significant advance in the
history and development
of the company. In the
first performances of the
Augusta Ballet’s “Nut
cracker” she portrayed
the youngest child in the
opening party scene. Ten
years later she assumes a
starring role.
The Augusta Ballet
Company marks another
first with three dancers
alternating in the soloist
role of Dewdrop. Jennifer
Haynes, Polly Moore and
Pam Willingham will
bring highly individual
interpretations to the
brilliant Balanchine
choreography. Polly
Moore is a former
principal dancer with the
Atlanta Ballet, and
Augusta trained Pamela
Willingham danced for
five seasons with the
Cinncinnati Ballet while
Tony Brown’s Journal
After months of
campaigning for Jimmy
Carter and warning
Blacks that Ronald
Reagan would bring
disaster to America and
the end of all Black
progress, Jesse Jackson
is courting the New
Ronald Reagan people in
Washington.
His first stop-with
television cameras, of
course- was to the office
of Sen. Strom Thurmond
(R-S.C.), the incoming
chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee
according to Jackson,
represent the interests of
black America.
Thurmond, it is
rumored, knew that
Jackson was not acting
out of an interest for
black America, but could
not deny him a meeting
because it would have
looked like the South
Carolina Senator was
insensitive to an already
frightened black po
pulation. Jackson, the
Republicans believe, is
simply trying to help
Jackson. It may also be
more than a coincidence
that Sen. Thurmond's
committee oversees the
Justice Department.
Before President
Carter could shut them
up, officials at the Justice
Department exposed a
preliminary inquiry to
determine whether
Jackson had acted as a
foreign agent for Libya.
After a series of
telephone calls between
Jesse Jackson and the
White House and the
White House and the
Justice Department, this
issue was sidestepped by
the FBI. But with a
Reagan Justice
Department, under Sen.
Thurmond’s committee,
embarrassing questions
could emerge.
Jackson, however,
has more than a possible
indictment to worry
about. He could be at the
end of his civil-rights
charade. Frequently, in
thenameof* ‘Civil rights,”
professional black
leaders sell their services
to the highest bidder.
What is different about
Reagan’s white people is
that, for the first time,
the GOP will take care of
the blacks who supported
them and not the
“protest pimps.”
The names of the
new black leadership will
sound more like Gloria
Toote, Arthur Teele,
W.O. Walker, Art
Fletcher, Stan Scott,
Lionel Hampton, Thomas
Sowell and Jack E.
Robinton and not Carter
loyalists Andy Young,
Coretta King and Jesse
Jackson who initially
flirted with supporting
the GOP in a rumored
version of “Is the Price
Right?”

with the Augusta troupe.
and Charles Evers, civil
rights Democrats who
switched to Reagan, will
also benefit from the
short-line theory: the
black pay-window at the
GOP headquarters is
shorter than the black
pay-window at the
Democratic headquar
ters. But it was good
while it lasted for King
and Jackson, both of
whom got millions of
dollars from the Carter
Administration for their
pet projects.
Only yesterday, Andy
Young was warning
blacks that a Reagan
victory would be a
license to “kill niggers.”
He and Jesse Jackson
were principal promoters
of a political charade that
played on the fears of
Blacks for the political
benefit of their beloved
leader, Jimmy Carter.
Reagan’s landslide
subdued those failed
politics and forced
Jackson to go back to
Reagan for another deal.
The initial reaction to
Jackson’s overtures is a
firm no thank you.
But Jesse Jackson is
not turned down easily.
Immediately he held a
press conference billed as
“the civil rights
leadership” to stake out
the position of head
negotiator for black
people, a position to
which he continually
appoints himself. In
order to get Reagan’s
attention and to establish
his black credibility, he
warned Reagan that the
massive GOP win was
not “a mandate to turn
back the hands of time.”
More rhetoric followed.
In a convoluted
reasoning, Jackso*
reminded the
Republicans that they
owed blacks something
because blacks voted
against them. The
rhetoric: “This ad
ministration must
represent the republic,
not merely the
Republicans.” That is not
a political reality.
Although blacks gave
Reagan about 14 percent
of their vote and provided
the margin victory for
Reagan in Arkansas and
Tennessee, they have
very little quid pro quo
coming. Like Jesse
Jackson, the architect of
a losing strategy, the
black community, unlike
other groups -- labor,
religious, sex and ethnic -
- is the loser in the 1980
political race.
Jackson has adopted
desperation politics to
perserve his political
statue and multi-million
dollar grant-getting
potential from the federal
government. The black
community, following his
lead and letting him
misrepresent it, shares
his desperation.
