Description of Lecture
Brush up your Shakespeare! Brighten up that Bard! Put a sparkle on the Swan of Avon! On this, the traditional date of Shakespeare’s birthday, the College of Arts and Humanities invites you to celebrate the occasion by sharing in a musical feast, where our faculty from the Departments of Literature, Theater, and Music will delight you in three Acts. The Literature faculty will open the curtain with a short introduction to Shakespeare, and throughout the gala they will offer brief background sketches for each of the selected scenes our troupe will perform. Act I will take you to a staged rendition of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, followed by a musical performance of “Tonight” from West Side Story. Act II will transport you to the “wooing” scene from The Taming of the Shrew, paired with a frolicsome version of “I Hate Men” from Kiss Me, Kate. The celebration will close with a reenactment from The Merry Wives of Windsor and a grand finale from Verdi’s opera, cameoing our very own Falstaff. And with that we’ll bid you adieu until next season!
