BSC Theatre Presents: Richard III

Josh Philips and Christie Connelly
rehearse a scene from "Richard III."

This weekend, the BSC Theatre Department will present a unique version of William Shakespeare's classic, Richard III. Shakespeare's historical play chronicles the ascent of Richard the III of England and his brief reign as King.

Performances of Shakespeare's Richard III will take place October 4-6 (7:30pm) and October 7 (2:30pm). Tickets cost $15 to the general public and $10 for students. Not only does this show promise to be tremendously entertaining, but the event also counts toward an EEIS credit.

The show features light design by senior Nolan Martin, sound design by junior Brooke Gronemeyer, and stage management by Gia Nappo.

To support this show, director Alan Litsey will join professors Kent Anderson (English) and Matt Mielke (Theatre) to present "Bad Leadership: Richard III's Passage to Power." Students Josh Philips, Christie Connelly, Daniel Bullington, Brent Irwin, and Mary Claire Owen will be on hand, as well, to assist with the presentation. This Provost's Forum event will take place at the College Theatre Mainstage during common hour on Tuesday, October 2.
