IN THE LIFE OF // AN ORGANIC FARMER
> Living vicariously through others is okay with us
Bob Dylan once sang "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more." Barbara Clark says Dylan has been true to his word. "He's never worked a lick at this farm," says Clark, who owns Maggie's Farm with her husband, David.
The farm, which was named after the Bob Dylan song, has been a labor of love for the Clarks, who did not plan to become farmers at first. "We always romanticized the idea of farming," Clark says. "It was a mystery to us."
Now, 18 years later, the Clarks have built a home, a barn and a workshop on the land. Clark says they begin and end the day by feeding the sheep, which Barbara sheers in the Spring to make yarn for spinning and weaving. The Clarks are also out early
In college, Barbara studied anthropology and David studied aeronautical engineering, but they realized those were not what they wanted to pursue. After moving to Lawrence, the Clarks bought land on the north side of town and began tilling the fields. "We didn't live on the land," Clark says. "We would drive out here each day and gauge how much work we could get done before we lost our energy."

Everything is grown organically to support. Clark's philosophy behind farming: "We don't want to add chemicals, especially when we know the things we grow will be consumed by people we care for and ourselves."

GET SOME CULTURE // THE EVIL DEAD
The Evil Dead films are low-budget cult classics that have lived on in the Midnight Movie realm for the past 30 years. Evil Dead: The Musical is bringing the movie's gore and humor to Kansas City this month.
"Evil Dead is one of the first horror movies that tapped into how campy and ridiculous the genre could be," Nathan Belcher, Overland Park senior, says. "I think the stage would be perfect for that kind of silliness and violence."

Egads Theatre Production Company is putting on the musical, which combines elements of all three Evil Dead films (Evil Dead I, II and Army of Darkness) along with Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly music numbers. Playing at the Off Center Theatre located on the third floor of Crown Center, 2450 Grand Blvd. Evil Dead: The Musical is guaranteed to get messy.
"The people in the first several rows are going to be soaked with blood and stage splatter," says Steven Eubank, the artistic director of the show.

The show runs through Nov. 6. Student tickets are $12.50 when picked up at the box office the night of the show.
