BOOKCASE DISPLAYA reader from Hampton
Falls wrote a quick note thispast week. Her question was:“How
can I make the bookcas-es in my family room work?”
Our reader has a newly-renovated family room withtwo walls of
beautifullydesigned built-in bookcases.The built-in has four
shelveswith cabinet doors below. Theconstruction was completed six
months ago, and the storageunits are full of items.
Unfortunately, our reader feels the space looks no moreorganized
than before the bookcases were added. This is nofault of the
carpenter or the home owner! The problem is theitems in the
bookcases have no visual impact.
It’s important to break up the monotony of many similaritems in
a bookshelf. Displaying or organizing your bookcas-
es is similar to reading. Startat the top left hand corner ofthe
open shelves and displaythe items left to right and bot-tom to
top.
Here are some basicdesign ideas to you plan yourdisplay:
• Build groups with onedominate object and othersupporting
items. An exam-ple of this is one large objectand a number of
matchingitems grouped together.
• Don’t have accessoriesthat are either too big or toosmall in
relation to each other
on the same shelf, the objects will become lost.• Use odd
numbers of items on the shelves. Three or five
objects are more pleasing than two or four items.• Intersperse
small objects such as bookends or place some
books on their sides.I hope these display tips help unify your
belongings and
bring out the beauty in your new bookcases.Thank you for your
questions and enjoy your decorating
projects. Please send your questions to

Designing & Installing Custom GraniteCounter Tops For Over
20 Years
BY LIZ PREMOATLANTIC NEWS STAFF WRITER
DURHAM | Imagine a clarinet-creepingcat, a flighty, flutey bird
on the wing, or a duckthat orates like an oboe. Then, ponder the
pos-sibility of a wolf that resonates like a Frenchhorn, and a
young boy’s bravery plucked froma garden of stringed
instruments.
If these characters and their respectivemusical notes seem
familiar, it’s because theyare.
They’re the stars of Ukrainian composerSergei Prokofiev’s Opus
67, “Peter and theWolf, Symphonic Tale for Narrator andOrchestra,”
a lively blend of classical musicand vocal narration that has
enthralled audi-ences of all ages for more than 70 years.
And a troupe of talented University ofNew Hampshire theatre
students — togetherwith fascinating animal puppets and tradi-tional
orchestral narration — are currentlybringing this beloved
children’s tale to life inschools around the Seacoast area, much to
thedelight of their far younger peers in grades K-6.
In fact, these aspiring performers havealready worked their
magic at stops thatincluded Centre School in Hampton and MainStreet
Elementary School in Exeter, with moreto come in Maine,
Massachusetts, and otherNH locales. Their presentations began on
Feb-ruary 1, and are scheduled to conclude onMay 8.
As part of UNH’s ArtsReach Theatre Tour,“Peter and the Wolf” is
presented by TheatreResources for You (TRY), a division of theUNH
Department of Theatre and Dance. TRYprovides these ArtsReach tours
“to promotetheatre and to enhance education and culturein New
England communities.”
Prokofiev’s tale — created as a musical
piece for his own children back in 1935 — wasperformed as a
ballet with narration for theMoscow Theater for Children in 1936.
Itdebuted in America with theBoston Symphony Orchestra in1938 and
has seen a number offilm adaptations, as well as an ani-mated
Disney feature.
Each character in “Peterand the Wolf” is represent-ed by an
instrument or aninstrumental family. (Bythe way, Peter’s
grandfa-ther is represented by abassoon, while the tym-panic
thunder ofdrums become thes t o r y ’ shunters) .The narra-tion —
ane n g a g i n gstory ofhow af e a r l e s sP e t e rsnags ah u n
g r y ,wiley wolfwho isessentially amenace to allthe other animals
—is read in between themusical selections.
UNH’s ArtsReach Theatre Tour presenta-tion of “Peter and the
Wolf” is directed byCarol Jo Fisher, a lecturer for Puppetry
andCreative Drama for Young Audiences. The“human” cast includes
Andrea Benton, LaurieEwer, Matthew Frazier, Brandon Lavin,
Colleen Lewis, and Jonathan Roth.According to information
provided by
UNH, “TRY was established through a federalgrant in 1966 in
cooper-
ation with the NewHampshire Com-mission on the Arts
to provide per-f o r m a n c e sand work-shops in
C h i l -d r e n ’ sTheatre.
TRY hasb e e ni n s t r u -mental tothe intro-
duction ofT h e a t r e
Educationinto thep u b l i cs c h o o lsystem asa sup-
portivet o o lf o r
r e a d -ing and learn-
ing.” TRY, whichfunctions as a non-profit organization,
“is funded solely by those who participate inits programs.” For
more on this production,visit www.unh.edu/ theatre-dance/
art-sreach.html.
Traveling theatre troupes and creative pro-gramming for the
community aren’t the only
works of art to come from UNH.The university opens the doors of
its art
gallery to the public on a regular basis. Cur-rently the gallery
is holding an exhibit featur-ing paintings by renowned artist
Samuel Bak.“The Art of Samuel Bak: Memory andMetaphor,” is being
presented as part of thegallery’s ongoing ArtBreak series and will
beon view through April 12.
More than 45 of Bak’s drawings and paint-ings are on display.
The works represent theartist’s childhood memories of the
Jewishghetto of Vilna and the destruction of theHolocaust.
Born in Poland in 1933, Bak furthered hisstudies in art in
Israel, eventually moving onto live in Paris, Rome, Switzerland,
and theUnited States. It has been said that throughthis selection
of art, Bak “successfully inter-prets the loss of childhood,
traditions, andloved ones through a visual language filledwith
symbols and metaphors.”
The Art Gallery is in the Paul Creative ArtsCenter, located at
30 College Road on theUNH campus in Durham. Admission to theArt
Gallery is free; hours are Monday throughWednesday from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m.; Thursdayfrom 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sun-day,

which will be directed, designed,and choreographed by theatre and
dance stu-dents.”
