SLCC Black Box Twelfth Night Blog
Our cast is delighted and privileged to have on board Susan Barry (formerly Susan Maurer) in the role of Viola. A native of Chicago, Susan has been largely in more contemporary shows. Twelfth Night is her first Shakespearean production, but one would never guess that to be the case. Susan speaks the language clearly and...

SLCC Black Box Twelfth Night Blog
The cast of the Salt Lake Community College’s black box production of Twelfth Night is officially through the table work portion of rehearsal. I find it sad to see these days behind us, as table work is often my favorite part of any production, but now it is time to put all the talk...

Directing Love’s Labour’s Lost at EMU: Weeks 3 and 4
Sorry for my blogging failure last week. My personal life kind of exploded in the combined events of a blizzard and a furnace outage; it was all I could do to manage rehearsal! But, that’s neither here nor there, and certainly not Shakespeare. The past couple of weeks have been pretty good. The show...

Titus blog: Home stretch
A few weeks ago, I started rehearsing a project that had been months in the making and in just over a week it will open for audiences. As you might imagine, I am incredibly excited and incredibly exhausted. Titus Andronicus is a whirlwind of violence, emotionally devastating, and painfully beautiful. And that doesn’t begin...

Directing Love’s Labour’s Lost at EMU: Week 2
Editor’s Note: Alisha Huber’s blog on her production of Love’s Labour’s Lost is part of our ongoing Players & Pedants series, which provides an inside look at Shakespeare in performance. I’m starting to feel better about this crazy project, although we have very little time left. The actors are working really hard, and that’s...

Reading: Othello and the Twenty-First Century Economy
Is Othello the Shakespearean tragedy of our times? It all seems to be there: precarious employment, mobility, and the hand-to-mouth existence of a globalized world. Of course, there are questions of race and gender, and these have opened reservoirs of academic ink, with notable examples coming from Jonathan Dollimore, Alan Sinfield, and Dympna Callaghan....
