Curtain opens on fall theater
By Kathryn A. Ratliff
Staff Reporter
What do William Shakespeare and
Sam Shepard have in common? They
were both married to Jessica Lange?
No, no, a thousand times no! They
both have plays appearing on the De
partment of Theatre Arts & Dance
main stage this fall.
William Shakespeare’s “Richard
TTTM 1_•_

tale of power and
greed. Richard,

speare’s most

fers to trade his kingdom for a horse.
Shirley Carr Mason, assistant the
ater professor, will stage “Richard III” in
the Howell Theatre, a 382-seat auditori
um, Oct 19-21 and 24-28 at 8 p.m.
Sam Shepard’s “Fool for Love”
will run Nov. 9-11 and 14-18 at 8 p.m.
in the Studio Theatre. The two main
characters in this drama have a strong
but destructive bond. Gregory Tavares,
a graduate student, will direct.
Michael Brady’s “To Gillian on
Her 37th Birthday,” a romantic drama,
places several characters in a Nan
tucket cottage over a summer week
end where they work through an over
whelming grief. The main character, a
bitter professor, has retreated from life
to keep alive the memory of his wife,
Gillian, who died two years earlier in
a boating accident.
“Gillian,” directed by assistant the
ater professor Paul Steger, will run
Sept. 28-30 and Oct. 3-7 at 8 p.m. in the
Studio Theatre.
Theater Manager Juliana
Hagemeier said designers had already
begun constructing sets for the shows.
She said the Studio Theatre, a 180-seat
black box stage formed in the round,
presented special concerns because of
its small size.
“It’s a challenge for designers to
create what they want,” Hagemeier
said.
Student tickets are $6. Senior citi
zens, faculty and staff tickets are $7,
and all others are $9. Student season
tickets are $15. Tickets can be pur
chased at 109 Temple Building.
Open auditions for main stage plays
will be Aug. 21 and 22 from 7 p.m. to
10 p.m. in the Howell Theatre. Those
who wish to audition can sign up for a
time in the Commons in the lower
level of the Temple Building and should
prepare two two-minute contrasting
monologues. One monologue should
be Shakespearean.
Hagemeier said no specific dates
for the fall dance recital had been set.
The recital will include the talents of
producing artistic director Lisa Fusillo
and choreography by University of
Nebraska-Lincoln dance faculty and
guest artists.
In addition to the main stage pro
ductions, five Theatrix shows will run
this fall, Hagemeier said.
Theatrix, Hagemeier said, is an or
ganization run by graduate and under
graduate directors.
“Theatrix creates an opportunity
for students to direct and for students
who may not be right for main stage
productions to do some acting,”
Hagemeier said.
Theatrix is more experimental, with
minimal use of costumes and props.
Instead, it focuses on directors and
actors, said Rob McKercher, Theatrix
artistic director.
“We do theater in its barest scale
and the results are wonderful,”
McKercher said.
Theatrix shows won’t be selected
until the fall semester starts. Students
who wish to direct a show should
present a proposal to McKercher dur
ing the first week of classes. Directors
will be auditioned Aug. 28-29.
Each Theatrix production receives
a $50 budget and access to all theatri
cal facilities. McKercher said he hoped
to produce the shows in alternative
venues outside the Temple Building
this fall. Theatrix shows cost $2 for
students.
The Nebraska Masquers, UNL’s
drama club, also will produce a show
this season. The Masquers produced a
festival of original one-act plays last
year, Hagemeier said.
Theatre 203, an undergraduate di
recting class, will also produce a vari
ety of short one-acts throughout the
semester.
