But "Coyote Ugly," written by Lynn Siefert and directed by Pavol Liska '95, rewarded the inquisitive and out-going audience with an extremely powerful production. The story involves an Arizonan family, whose incestuous tendencies interfere with almost all of their relationships.

Group forms to support homosexuals

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | February 17, 1994

A Hanover woman and a Dartmouth student started a support group for relatives and friends of homosexuals in the Upper Valley last week. Kirsten Doolittle '96 and Shirley Waring, a Hanover resident, are leading the Hanover chapter of Parents, Friends, and Family of Lesbians and Gays, an organization that is commonly called P-FLAG. The Washington, D.C.-based organization works to educate the public about gay and lesbian issues and to advocate the rights of homosexuals, Waring said. The group also helps homosexuals, their friends and relatives, children of homosexual parents and people who are married or have been married to gays or lesbians, she said. Both women said they were motivated by personal experiences to start a Hanover affiliate of the organization. A "personal relationship with someone very dear to me brought me to P-FLAG," Doolittle said. Doolittle said the issues P-FLAG addresses affect everyone.

Modern, ancient icons mingle

By Susan Zieger | February 15, 1994

What happens when Thai goddesses, griffins, Egyptian heads, Greek urns and other elements of ancient cultures collide with television sets, cowboys with swirling lassoes, swimming pools and other modern Americana? You get the eerily beautiful art of Susan Morrison, now on display in the Dirt Cowboy Cafe. Morrison mingles icons of antiquity and modernity to produce vivid, collage-like "pasticci" in which one might detect the influence of de Chirico, Giacometti and other Italian surrealists. What makes Morrison's work distinctive is her textured brushstroke and layering of paint that, when peeled and scraped away, lends a time-worn element to the surface, something like a fresco painted "a secco." "It feels like the world is getting smaller," said Morrison, whose extensive world travel resonates in her art.
