Theatre
Seriously Shakespeare
Quickly, while I have a moment, let me tell you more about my week in Stratford, England. Since you last heard from me, I had seen three Shakespeare productions: “The Taming of the Shrew,” “Hamlet” and “As You Like It.” “Hamlet” is my favorite Shakespearean work of all time, so this has been my favorite [...]
Behind the scenes
As part of my preparation to join my 2013 Shakespeare in England classmates across the pond, our professors recommended that we get to know the theater set-up a little bit. For most of us, that’s a done deal. Being involved in previous theater productions both on campus and off, as well as taking courses on the [...]
Excitement is building
Another busy week comes to a close. After a week (and weekend) full of action and adventure, it’s kind of nice to sit down and have some time to chill. With even more theater rehearsals and a concert, I had an all around fun week. This Saturday was Family Day here at Hanover, and in [...]
A busy, yet eclectic, week
This week, like many others, has been crazy to say the least. With I-Week, scheduling and theater rehearsal, I had quite a bit on my plate. Let me break it down for you. I-Week at Sigma Chi is a time for the pledges to really grow together and bond with the current brothers. Spending as [...]
Going nowhere for break
It wasn’t bad — going nowhere, that is. For break this winter I had to stay on campus to begin workshops for the traveling theatre I am in this summer. One of the things the Rivers Institute at Hanover specializes in is cultural education in matters regarding the local area. This summer, Rivers is funding [...]
It’s Performing Time!
On this bleak and dreary day that had some weird afternoon fog, campus is abuzz. “With what?” you might ask? With talk of theater. That’s right, after weeks of advertising, a preview performance Wednesday, and opening night Thursday, word has finally gotten around about Hanover College Theatre’s performance of “Hagar’s Children.” Looking for any excuse to [...]
“Hagar’s Children”
As I’ve mentioned in my past few posts, I am in a play! Dec. 6-8, 7:30 p.m., Hanover College Theatre presents “Hagar’s Children.” Without giving too much away, I’ll try to give you an idea of what it’s about. My character’s name is Rob, and I am one of five emotionally troubled teenagers living in [...]
This, too, shall pass
Now that the excitement of Homecoming and Halloween has passed, I have found it is quite easy to fall into a slump of not really wanting to do much. After all the activity of last weekend, it just seems natural to want to have a lazy week. But life goes on, and you will always [...]
Three Plays in One
This past weekend, the theatre department presented a play by Romulus Linney called “Three Poets.” I was lucky enough to catch this performance as part of my job as a cultural events attendance taker, and I was very glad I chose to work this event. This play was unlike any I have been to so far [...]
Winds of Change
The past week was quite different than any week so far this year. We have had rain, yes, and lots of it actually, but right after fall break what we needed here at Hanover to really get us motivated was sunny weather. We didn’t get that lucky, instead we got freezing cold, raining, bleak days. [...]
