Salieri dominates the show but O'Boyle's interpretation of the role makes the domination anything but tiring. To the contrary. the audience remains on tenterhooks suspecting where all this is leadmg, perhaps fearing and finally relishing the outcome. The Enchanted Hills "Amadeus" is not. be reminded, a musical, although there is music, played on tape to underline the genius of the man who created it. This is a thoroughly enticing drama, smoothly-staged, the efforts of an outstanding cast being supported by authentic costumes, bare-bones but realistic settings, well-managed scene changes and complementary lighting. And I'm not to say that "Amadeus" does not have its lighter moments; they are fleeting but cutting You won't leave the theater humming or laughing, but you'll be glad you went to the theater. Performances continue nightly through Saturday at 8. and there is a Sunday matinee at 4 p.m

Arild comes from a Norwegian island with a population of 800 while Christen s home isn't far from the thriving capital city of Oslo The geographical distance of these two sites affects the way they speak their native language "He's from the west coast,"

Christer explained. "It's a totally different dialect and I can hardly understand him." English is the language they usually speak while in the United States, however. Christer and Arild's fluency in the language is a' result of a school system that begins teaching English in the fourth grade Christer, 19, was introduced to the area in the fall of 1987 when he became an exchange student at Wawasee High School though the Youth For Understanding (YFU» program. He graduated from the school and headed back to Norway in July Christer still felt the lure of the Lakeland area, however, and he returned for two weeks around Christmas time. This summer's venture is his third visit to the area. His first trip stateside was prompted by the desire for a “new experience" and by his sister, who had favorable reports of her time in the United States. "My sister was an exchange student with (YFU) and she had such a nice experience that I wanted to try it myself," Christer

said His last two trips have been prompted by Cupid’s little arrows. Christer has a local girlfriend and he needs to come back periodically to touch bases with her Arild, 15. had similar reasons for first choosing to come to the United States. His brother had been a guest in the Dußois home during the 1985-86 school year. The Dußois' son, Thaddeus, spent a summer with the Finnesand household in Norway. So this summer, it was Arild's turn to jump on the bandwagon. The two Nordic visitors pass's* their time with plenty of recreational activities. In addition to the time he spends with his girlfriend, Christer lifts weights, plays tennis and rides bikes. Arild likes to ride his bike downtown and is “always playing," according to Julie. Both young men thoroughly enjoy the sport of water skiing. “I love water skiing." Arild said, with a glint in his eye. Os course, it's not all fun and games at the Dußois home.

around the house now and then. It's been a cultural learning experience for Christer and Arild. They have become familiar with the reality of everyday life in the United States, as opposed to what they used to see in the movies. Christer said that movies gave him the impression that people are constantly partying and always trying to “have a ball.” He found out that people are pretty much the same all over. “You kind of realize it's not that different from back home although the cultures are different," he said. “You expect it like it is in the movies but it’s not like that," Arild added. "Right here, it’s just like home." Both young men would like to return to their American home in the near future. Christer has been checking into the possibility of attending college in the area. If everything works out, the Norwegian government may give him a full scholarship to pursue academia stateside. Arild is a little young for college but a stint as a high school exchange student is possible.
