includes Miss Brown to You (Mary Reynolds, Louise Goldberg,
Elyse Angelo and Terri Hoersch), Peggy Johnson, Donna D., and
Wanda D. and others are still being added . The recording will be
produced by Studiogirl, a local womet1-owned and operated
studio.
We are inviting individuals to be "CP underwriters"to cover
production costs ofthe recording . . With ~1 minimum contribution
of $50, a "CD underwriter" will receive an autographed copy of
the CD, complimentary admission to the r~lease party and any CD
benefit performances. The names of"CD underwriters" will also
be listed in the Voice and on the CD liner notes.
We need at least 70 "CD undern riters" to produce this
recording. Give yourself (and your favorite performer) a holiday

Restless
by Dlaneme Weidner
Reflections ofheadlights
Dash through the window
Bouncing off the pictures
Hung tightly
Watching the pacing wonder
Lust Jost to truth
And truth to tomorrow
As the whispers drown
In a filnnel ofreflection
A cloud brushed aside
To pour down another day
Thoughts ofsweet kisses upon
Soft lips
But for now
I must retreat
I must find that which eludes me
That which drags me down
Into a state ofrestlessness
As I watch the reflections ofheadlights
Break through the darkness ofmy night.
FROM THE BACK ALLEYS TO THE
SUPREME COURT
& BEYOND
January 22, 1998 will mark the 25th anniversary of Roe v.
Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized
abortion in the United States. Many U.S. citizens are too young
to remember what it was like in the days of back-alley and selfinduced abortions. This anniversary provides an outstanding
opportunity for feminists to educate the public about the importance of safe and legal abortion, and the award-winning documentary From the Back Alleys to the Supreme Court & Beyond
could be a vital tool in that educational campaign.
From the Back Alleys to the Supreme Court & Beyond,
produced by filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman and KTEH-TV Executive Producer Danny McGuire, combines three films - When
Abortion Was Illegal, From Danger to Dignity, and The Fragile
Promise of Choice. The first film in the trilogy, When Abortion
Was Illegal, was nominated for an Academy Award in the
documentary short category, and received "Best Documentary"
award from the Atlanta International Film & Video Festival and
many others. From Danger to Dignity won a Gold Apple award
from the National Education Media Festival in 1996; and a Gold
Hugo from the Chicago International Film & Video Festival in
1996.

REVIEW
by Ji/I Gamer
Make your plans now to start the new year with Dar
Williams (and special guest Ellis Paul) at the City Arts Center
January 2. If you've never been to the City Arts Center, you 're
missing an intimate venue to see some of the most talented
singer/songwriter/musicians traveling around the country today. Every seat is a good one, and come to think of it, every
concert I've been to there has been a good one too. The tickets
are cheap, and cokes and beer are sold on a donation basis.
Dar Williams is a very talented songwriter whose song
"Are You Out There" is now currently being played on The
Spy (93. 7) in Stillwater. Her latest CD is titled End of the
Summer, and she has two previous rele;ises, Mortal City and
The Honesty Room. She has a great three octave voice and a
lot of really good insightful songs that a re complex enough to
keep me interested for a long time. W0're very fortunate to
have Dar and Ellis Paul performing here in Oklahoma City so
please help support them, and maybe they'll be back!
The Comp/eat Works of Wilm Shkspr (Abridged) will be
performed at Carpenter Square Theater from November 28
through December 20. All performances will be in the theater
company's new home, Stage Center. Th is play is a condensed
version of all of Shakespeare's work, blended with Monty
Python-like humor.
According to the Metro Downtowner, Othello is performed in rap, all of the history plays are done as a football
game, and all of the comedies become "The Love Boat Goes to
Verona. A highlight is a Hamlet recap performed backwards.
Audience participation is also encouraged." Call 232-6500
for reservations.
For you Janis Ian fans, or those who would like to
introduce yourselfto her music, I highly recommend her latest
release Hunger. Throughout the album, her guitar skills are
evident, and really add a lot to a couple of songs that might be
very ordinary without them. There are a few songs too that
really show off her gift of a voice, and her songwriting talent
is still going strong. Make this one your holiday gift for
yourself!
Happy holidays!D
SANTA PARTY
