United Press International DALLAS — Disco music gives way to jazz, prize-winning boxers head to the locker room with their leather gloves and the old Catholic church, now a gymnasium, is slowly converted into a theater. The boxing ring becomes a stage. The Red Wind Community Arts Theater shares quarters with the Aquila Azteca Boxing Club and is one of the few bilingual theater troupes in the United States. Edward Contreras, the 33- year-old founder of the troupe, has several groups of actors and actresses, starting with a large group of children who are taught puppetry. Eventually, they gra duate into the teen-age division and if their interest continues, they can someday join profession al actors and actresses who donate their time to the cause. “You can tell when the actors take over, Contreras said, watch ing the stark boxing ring become a stage and the music change in character and tempo. “We have tried to reach out and communicate with the Chicano community. We have been suc cessful, I think, because our plays are attended by everyone — rang ing from the (militant) Brown Be rets to the low-riders and Chica nes from the barrio. “All of these groups are trying to help the community, he said, “even the low-riders.

There are not many thea ter troupes that can go out directly into the barrios — into our com munity. They know who we are, they know what we’re doing and they not only accept us but wel come us. I think it’s essential to make lots of contacts and that’s what I do.” To involve all segments of the Chicano community, Bed Wind stages a variety of productions. They range from puppet shows with a cultural emphasis by chil dren and for children, to the con- “We put on plays, not to agitate, but to educate. ” Have room. Need male roommate for sum mer. Call 696-0884. 159t6 temporary “Equus” with a large number of white actors to a highly political play about the 1975 ex ecution of a Mexican-American youth by the police chief of Cas- troville. Beligious plays are also popu lar, particularly a production known, in English, as “The Appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe.’’ “All the various groups in the Chicano community need enter tainment,’’ Contreras said. “We put on plays, not to agitate, hut to educate.” One of the more recent political plays by Bed Wind — about the police brutality and discrimina tion faced frequently by many Mexican-Americans — attracted a standing room only crowd, with security provided by uniformed members of the Brown Berets be cause of threats. The play, “The Death of Bichard Morales, portrays the killing of Morales, 27, in Septem ber 1975 by Frank Hayes, then police chief of Castroville. Morales was an unarmed burglary suspect shot and killed by Hayes and buried in a shallow grave. Hayes was sentenced to life in prison for the death. “It was so successful we re going to produce it again,” Con treras said. “Reused blanks when puts, ji gpn.JpXlorale.v head and kills him. Everyone in this gym came right off’ their chairs. People wept. It was extremely successful — it made its point well. “Were involved in re educating all our people into the arts. I was born in the most noto rious barrio in Dallas — West Dal las. But it was fun. I still go to the barrio often to maintain my re lationship with my friends but also, more importantly, to main tain my identity as an artist. That’s essential — to go to the people, not to sit back and wait for them to go to you. “We re an American theater specializing in Chicano theater. We do Shakespeare. We have white and Chicano actors, de pending mostly on the play and what it calls for.” Bedwind stages productions for as little as $400, using as much borrowed equipment and talent as possible. The token admission fee sometimes covers the expenses and sometimes doesn’t. Contreras has contacts ranging from city bureaucrats to production work ers at various television stations and is able to borrow most of the equipment he needs. “The only reason we can make it is because we have the respect of key people in the city,” he said. “We don’t have much equipment or props, but then neither did the Greek actors. I have very little re spect for an actor who says, T can’t act if my lighting isn’t perfect. ’ A lot of people depend on the tech nical aspects of theater to make a show — but it’s the actor.” Contreras was formerly an elec trician, enabling him to do most of the lighting and wiring work. His wife, an expert seamstress, sews most of the costumes. Their four children pitch in. The old Catholic church- gymnasium-theater does not have heat or air- conditioning, hut the lack of traditional conveniences merely increases the stark impact of the plays, with a 10-foot-high fan at the rear of the former church helping reduce the summer heat. Bed Wind Theater fits into the idea Contreras has for Chicano children — to bring out the artist in them and expand their horizons in ways they can use in dealing with the challenges of everyday life. “It’s an experience of a lifetime for them, he said. “When it’s over, they 11 he able to communi cate better with the public be cause they’ll be in public, with people watching them. They can play at being someone else and get exposure and recognition while they’re progressing as artists.” Contreras believes in the disci pline of theater and wants the chil dren to have fun while learning that creativity requires effort and restraint. He is not a taskmaster, but is firm and clearly has the re spect of those he teaches. He stresses the technical aspects of theater as well, believ ing that an actor or actress has to understand all facets of production to he a good performer. He re lishes the educational aspect of CORNERSTONE FREE WILL BAPTIST CHURCH Temporarily meeting in the Old College Station City Hall at the corner of Wellborn and Church Street, one block from the Northwest corner of the main campus.
